PreyWatch

Lightweight Prey Tracker Replacement

It’s designed for players who want better clarity without installing a full UI overhaul.

Description

PreyWatch is a lightweight addon that enhances the visibility of Prey progress by replacing the default Blizzard widget with a more readable and customizable tracker.

Instead of adding complex systems or unnecessary features, PreyWatch focuses on doing one thing well: presenting Prey progress in a clear, minimal, and intuitive way.

The addon integrates directly with Blizzard’s existing widget system, ensuring it feels native to the game while improving usability.
