ajour VS CurseBreaker

I miss the ajour client...

However if privacy is a concern there are some open source alternatives you can find like Ajour (https://github.com/ajour/ajour).

Project I am talking about: https://github.com/ajour/ajour

The best desktop app in Rust that I used was ajour (polished, self-contained portable exec., auto-update, ...)

Bad news tho...

At the time of this sale, a lot of apps (Cursebreaker, Ajour) started popping up, which utilized the Curseforge api to pull addon packages down, thus skirting around Overwolf's application. Fast-forward to a few months ago, Overwolf announced they were reworking the API. This required developers to apply for access, and even if approved, addon devs controlled whether the packages were accessible via the API. Curseforge uses ads to payout developers who host there, so rightfully so, skirting around the Overwolf app wasn't acceptable to them anymore. With these changes, developers of these apps ceased worked on them.

unfortunately Ajour no longer has support.

Well. For now, I would just recommend Ajour, which is probably the best addon manager out there. It's really simple, lightweight, has no ads, updates all of your addons in mere seconds, and it can even update weakauras from wago.io. It can download from Wowinterface and the Tukui website too, so you can use it to update ElvUI.

These issues are the main reasons why Ajour's developer decided to quit.

Cursebreaker works well enough. Sure it is limited to Wowinterface and Github releases, but it supports some of the stuff that gets updated daily like raider.io or BigWigs. Mythic Dungeon Tools is one of the few big ones that's missing, but it no longer is a hard requirement like it used to be back in Shadowlands.

You can give Cursebreaker a try. It supports some of the add-ons that get daily updates like ElvUI, Raider.io, DBM/BigWigs, AdiBags, HandyNotes, OmniCC and a few others. It's not every add-on, but that's the price you pay for not using Overwolf or WowUp.

I use Cursebreaker. For the few add-ons that aren't supported because they are Curseforge-only I check them manually. Most others that receive daily updates are supported, though.

I'm tired of manually keeping my addons up-to-date, so I tried https://github.com/AcidWeb/CurseBreaker , but where does it store all the addons? Also some addons from CurseForge are missing. How do I mix/match them?

I'm going to offer a linux-y alternative, and suggest CurseBreaker. No GUI, just a CLI. Supports Wago, WowInterface, TukUI, and Github

What about the CurseBreaker? (https://github.com/AcidWeb/CurseBreaker)

I got an idea and I want to make a console tool for some small file management and automatic downloads. I really like how wow's cursebreaker works and looks and I think I'll use it for a template, but I was wondering if anyone here has a nice guide or resource on how to do proper python console GUIs? Just so I can get the hang of fundamentals before trying to do it all at once.

If you still want to update ElvUI automatically, you can use its own client, or use an add-on manager like WowUp or Cursebreaker.
