## ItemWatch
Ever farmed for a mount, achievement, or crafting mats and needed to track
an exact item count without constantly popping open your bags? ItemWatch
gives you a small, movable icon + number display for any item you choose —
just glance over and see where you stand.
### Features
- Track any item by ID — grab the ID from the item's Wowhead page
(e.g. wowhead.com/item=12345 → ID is 12345)
- Movable, draggable frames — put them wherever fits your UI
- Auto-updates whenever your bag contents change
- Lock/unlock frame positions so you don't accidentally bump them
- Tooltip on hover shows full item info
- Lightweight — no unnecessary polling or overhead
### Commands
/iw add <itemID> - start tracking an item
/iw remove <itemID> - stop tracking an item
/iw list - list everything you're tracking
/iw lock - lock frame positions in place
/iw unlock - unlock frames so you can drag them
### How to use it
1. Find the item you want to track on Wowhead and grab its item ID from
the URL
2. Type /iw add <itemID> in-game
3. Type /iw unlock and drag the new icon wherever you want it on screen
4. Type /iw lock to keep it in place
5. The count updates automatically as your bags change
Built with AI assistance (Claude) and refined for personal use — sharing
in case it's useful to others who miss WeakAuras-style item tracking.
