CD Manager (Beta)

A lightweight, retail-style combat tracking addon for World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Classic.

CD Manager gives you modern cooldown tracking without the complexity of WeakAuras. Build your own custom combat layout with cooldown bars, proc tracking, buffs, resources, cast timers, swing timers, and sound alerts—all in a clean, highly customizable interface.

Designed for players who want more control than basic cooldown addons without the setup complexity of full scripting-based solutions.

Why CD Manager?

Many addons either provide simple tracking with limited customization or require complicated setup systems.

CD Manager aims to provide the middle ground:

Modern combat tracking with the simplicity of a normal addon.

Create a minimal UI or a complete combat dashboard—without needing WeakAuras knowledge.

Ongoing Development

CD Manager is actively developed with regular:

• Bug fixes
• Performance improvements
• New features
• Quality-of-life updates

Support is currently being expanded across additional Classic versions of World of Warcraft.
