ReadyNotifier
NOTICE: Please visit our Discord server to report problems and bugs.
ReadyNotifier alerts you when your abilities become available again.
When a spell finishes its cooldown or a charge is restored, ReadyNotifier displays a clear on-screen notification so you never miss the moment your abilities are ready.
The addon automatically detects abilities as you use them. No spell setup or manual spell lists required.
Important Requirement
ReadyNotifier currently depends on Blizzard's Cooldown Manager / Cooldown Viewer system.
For the addon to function correctly, Blizzard's Cooldown Manager must be enabled and visible.
If the Cooldown Manager is hidden, disabled, or not showing the relevant tracked abilities, ReadyNotifier may not detect cooldowns correctly.
If cooldown notifications are not working:
- Make sure Blizzard's Cooldown Manager is enabled
- Make sure it is visible on your UI
- Confirm the ability you are testing actually appears there when used
This requirement is especially important on current Alpha and Beta builds.

Compatibility
ReadyNotifier is designed around Blizzard's current cooldown systems.
It is most reliable when used with:
- Blizzard default UI
- Blizzard Cooldown Manager / Cooldown Viewer enabled and visible
Action bar addons may still work for normal gameplay, but ReadyNotifier's cooldown detection is based on Blizzard's cooldown display system rather than scanning action bars directly.

If you encounter an issue:
- Install BugGrabber and BugSack
- Reproduce the problem
