Description
HandyCD is a manual-first cooldown tracker for WoW Retail. Built for Arenas, Mythic+, and coordinated groups, it gives you reliable control over your team’s cooldowns without the clutter of fully automated trackers.
Important: Blizzard API Changes (No Auto-Sync in M+ / Arena)
Blizzard recently blocked addon communication inside instanced competitive content. As a result, auto-syncing cooldowns with your party no longer works in Arenas or Mythic+.
Syncing still works in:
- Delves
- Normal and Heroic dungeons
- Open world content
The good news is that HandyCD was built for manual tracking from day one. When automated trackers stop working, manual clicks still do.
Great for:
- Shot-callers in Mythic+ and PvP
- Planning defensive rotations
- Players who want a clean, minimalist UI
What Makes HandyCD Different?
100% Manual Control
You decide exactly what gets tracked and when.
- Left-click a spell to start its cooldown timer
- Right-click to reset it
- Optional Manual Reset Only mode for full control
Build Your Own Layout
Keep your UI clean and intentional.
- Snap directly to Blizzard party or raid frames
- Use Free Mode to unlock the anchor and place it anywhere
- Customize spacing and growth direction
Smart Helpers Where Allowed
Automation is available when useful, but never required.
- Group Sync shares your manual clicks with teammates in Delves, Normal/Heroic dungeons, and the open world
- Automatically track your own casts
- Auto-detect Arena PvP trinkets
Built for Real Gameplay
- Track cooldowns by class and spec
- PvP Medallion support
- Save different profiles for alts or roles
- Test Mode lets you set up your UI without joining a group
HandyCD is for players who prefer clarity over clutter and control over automation.
