EQL Meter is a free desktop app for tracking EverQuest Legends fights from character log files on the player's machine. It follows combat in real time and displays damage per second (DPS) in its main window and in a click-through overlay. The overlay stays on top while letting clicks pass through, though the game must run windowed or borderless for it to appear above the game. Combat views include Combined for multiple mobs, an ability breakdown, and a DPS chart. The main meter 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, operates locally without an account or cloud backend, and is MIT licensed. It checks GitHub for a newer release on startup and also offers an in-app update check and installation. The maker provides a guide for Mac players running the game in a Parallels VM. The Mac app is not yet notarized by Apple, so first launch may require clearing macOS quarantine in Terminal.
