A lightweight World of Warcraft addon that extends the built-in Cooldown Manager with configurable show conditions. Control when each CDM frame is visible based on gameplay state. All settings are exposed through the native Blizzard Settings panel.

Features

Show Conditions

Control when each Cooldown Manager frame is visible with flexible gameplay conditions. Requires Edit Mode visibility set to "Always" for full control.

Per-frame or synced: configure each CDM frame independently (Essential Cooldowns, Utility Cooldowns, Tracked Buffs Icons, Tracked Buffs Bars) or sync all four to share the same rules
Condition builder: add conditions, toggle AND/OR between them, negate individual conditions and group them with parentheses for precise logic
Readable preview: conditions summarized as a plain-text sentence that updates live as you edit
Validation warnings: detects mutually exclusive or redundant conditions
Copy conditions: copy one frame's conditions to other frames with a single click

Available Conditions

Combat: In Combat, After Combat (configurable linger duration in milliseconds)
Target: Has Target, Has Hostile Target, Has Friendly Target
Focus: Has Focus, Has Hostile Focus, Has Friendly Focus
Situation: In Group, In Raid, In Instance
Player State: Mounted, Resting, Stealthed, Dead/Ghost, PvP Flagged

Profiles

Create, rename, delete, copy, export and import named profiles. Each character remembers its active profile.

Performance
