# Party Distance Alert
**Keep your team together. Never miss a straggler again.**
Party Distance Alert is your tactical companion for group content in World of Warcraft. It provides real-time distance monitoring with intelligent auto-sorting, ensuring you always know which group member is at risk of falling out of range—before it becomes a problem.
Built for performance and clarity, this addon delivers critical information without cluttering your screen or impacting your FPS.
### ✨ Why You'll Love It
**🎯 Instant Awareness**
The smart auto-sorting system always shows the furthest player at the top of the list. No more scanning through names—your attention goes exactly where it's needed.
**🎛️ Your Rules, Your Range**
Set your alert threshold anywhere from 10 to 50 meters using the intuitive slider. Whether you're running tight dungeon formations or loose raid spreads, the addon adapts to your playstyle.
**👁️ Clean by Design**
A transparent, minimal interface with class-colored names and crisp text. It's there when you need it, invisible when you don't.
**⚡ Zero Compromise Performance**
Optimized update throttling and manual widget rendering mean this addon runs silently in the background—even in 40-man raids.
**🔊 Smart Alerts**
Audio and visual warnings when someone crosses your distance threshold, with a built-in cooldown to prevent spam. Toggle sound on/off instantly from the tracker window.
**💾 Remembers Everything**
Your settings, position, and preferences are automatically saved. Set it up once, forget about it.
