A click-to-buff list for World of Warcraft: a small window listing every nearby player who is missing one of your buffs. Click a name, press one key or use one macro to buff them. You always come first.
From 1.8.0 (2026-10-25) BuffRadar is Forever-only — SEAN dropped Retail support; 1.7.0 is the last Retail release. Both editions were built from the same source:
| Edition | Client | Interface | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Forever | World of Warcraft Forever | 16001 | Current — 1.10.0 |
| Retail | World of Warcraft (Midnight, patch 12.1.5) | 120105 | Ended at 1.7.0 |
BuffRadar picks the right buff set when it loads. The full player guide — features, supported buffs, commands — is in editions/forever/README.md; what changed is in editions/forever/CHANGELOG.md. (The Retail guide stays at BuffRadar/README.md, frozen at 1.7.0.)
BuffRadar is a World of Warcraft addon that keeps a small list on your screen of everyone nearby who still needs one of your buffs — like a to-do list that ticks people off as you buff them. Click a name to cast. It is now a Forever-only addon (the Retail edition ended at 1.7.0), it's free, and it works entirely inside the game: no accounts, no network, nothing leaves your PC.
