What It Does

CooldownReminder watches the cooldowns you care about and shows a minimal movable reminder when a spell is ready. By default, Time mode keeps watched spells visible and counts down active cooldowns. The reminder can show only the spell icon, or the icon plus spell name, and can be arranged vertically or horizontally. It can also show the spell's base cooldown on the icon while the spell is ready, then hide that number while the active cooldown countdown is running.

The addon is built for character-specific cooldown tracking: it reads your current spellbook, talents, and action bars, then only offers learned spells that actually have a meaningful cooldown or charges.
