Field notes
The page describes a desktop app that reads the game's local journal files rather than interacting with the game process or Frontier account. Its route estimates account for cargo capacity and landing-pad requirements, and each displayed price has an age indicator with a filter for stale data. The site identifies its screenshots as version 1.1; offline market alerts are described separately as a 1.2 roadmap item.
