Now that the Twitch client is soon going to stop managing WoW addons many of us are having to look for a new addon manager.

I am curious what others are planning on using to manage their wow add-ons.

Personally I believe in Open Source products where the source code of the software can be inspected to make sure any spying or data-gathering is understood. With that in mind I am likely going to try to go with:

https://wowup.io/

Verification that WoWUp is licensed under the Open Source GNU General Public License v3.0 can be found here:

https://github.com/WowUp/WowUp/blob/master/LICENSE

I also liked what I read on the Ajour client as it is also Open Source but it doesn't support the Github nor WoWInterface repositories so I thinking of trying WoWUp instead.

I did some research and the following may be helpful for others:

Good article: https://www.wowhead.com/guides/best-addon-managers-wow-shadowlands (https://www.wowhead.com/guides/best-addon-managers-wow-shadowlands)

Fun read: https://blizzardwatch.com/2020/11/17/download-update-wow-addons-shadowlands/ (https://blizzardwatch.com/2020/11/17/download-update-wow-addons-shadowlands/)

Most comprehensive list I found: https://ogri-la.github.io/wow-addon-managers/ (https://ogri-la.github.io/wow-addon-managers/)

I will try to post a poll to see what others have decided.

No more WoW for me, but https://github.com/AcidWeb/CurseBreaker was my favorite.

GPLv3, written in Python, no frills text interface, good interactive and unattended update modes, and support for Curse, WoWInterface, and Tukui. Maintainer is responsive on Discord and GitHub.
