CD Manager (Beta)

CD Manager is a lightweight, highly customizable cooldown and combat tracking addon built specifically for World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Classic.

It provides a clean, modular interface for tracking the information that matters most in combat without the clutter of a generic "track everything" addon.

Unlike one-size-fits-all cooldown trackers, CD Manager is built around flexibility. Create multiple independent tracking bars, decide exactly what goes on each one, and customize nearly every aspect of their appearance and behavior to match the rest of your UI—no WeakAuras knowledge required.

Features

Track spells, trinkets, potions, racials, and other usable items side by side.

Every bar has its own:

Philosophy

The goal of CD Manager is simple:

Deliver powerful combat tracking that remains intuitive, responsive, lightweight, and easy to customize.

Whether you prefer a minimalist single-bar setup or a complete combat dashboard, CD Manager gives you full control without the complexity of WeakAuras or the steep learning curve of larger UI frameworks.

Ongoing Development

CD Manager is actively maintained with regular bug fixes, optimizations, and quality-of-life improvements based on real gameplay and community feedback. Work is currently being done to implement into all versions of World of Warcraft Classic.

Bug reports and feature requests are always welcome.
