A clean, minimalistic chat replacement for World of Warcraft. GudaChat strips away the clutter of Blizzard's default chat frame and replaces it with a modern, streamlined interface, while keeping all the functionality you need.

Features

Hover-Reveal Header Bar

A compact header bar appears on hover with quick-access icons for tab switching, combat log, whispers, chat type selection, channels, history, and settings. Stays out of your way until you need it.

Emoji Support

Over 30 built-in emojis that render inline in chat messages. Type shortcuts like :) :fire: :skull: or use the emoji picker button in the input bar. Adjustable emoji size.

Chat with emojis and emoji picker open

Chat History

Messages persist across sessions and reloads. Browse, search, and filter history by channel. Copy entire conversations to clipboard with one click.

Copyable Links

URLs in chat are automatically highlighted and clickable. Click any link to open a copy popup — no more manually retyping URLs.

Class-Colored Names & Player Levels

Player names are colored by class. Optional level indicators show difficulty-colored level brackets next to each player's name.

Dedicated Whisper Tab

Enable a separate whisper tab to keep private messages organized. Incoming whispers trigger a blinking notification on the header icon.

Combat Log Filtering

Quick-filter the combat log with subtabs: My Actions, or What Happened to Me?

Customizable Settings

Access settings with /gc or the header gear icon. Three tabs of options:

General — Lock position, disable fading, hide scrollbar, timestamps, input bar position, whisper tab toggle
Messages — Class colors, player levels, copyable links, emoji toggle and size
History — Enable/disable, max message limit, clear history
