In their own words
EQL Meter
EQL Meter is a free desktop app for EverQuest Legends that reads character log files on the player’s machine and tracks fights in real time. It shows damage per second (DPS) in its main window and a click-through overlay, which lets the game remain playable underneath. The overlay appears above the game only when it is running windowed or borderless. Combat views include combined results across multiple mobs, an ability breakdown, and a DPS chart; the main meter also has DPS, Heals, Raid, and Loot tabs. When the in-game `/who all raid` roster is known, the Raid tab provides group DPS information. The app runs on macOS and Windows, needs no account or cloud backend, and is MIT licensed. It checks GitHub for releases on startup and offers an in-app update check and installation. A guide is available for Mac players running the game in a Parallels virtual machine. The Mac app is not yet notarized by Apple, so first launch may require clearing macOS quarantine in Terminal.
