Change Keystone Reminder
Every Mythic+ player knows the sinking feeling: you finish a dungeon, hearth out, and realize five minutes later that you forgot to swap your keystone. That key is now locked to a dungeon nobody wants to run, and your group is stuck with a dead week. Change Keystone Reminder exists to make sure that never happens again. It is a lightweight, standalone addon that watches for the end of your run and prompts you to check your key before you leave.
What Change Keystone Reminder Does
The concept is simple and effective. When a Mythic+ run finishes, whether you beat the timer or completed it in overtime, the addon triggers a visible popup on your screen and plays a sound alert. The reminder stays there until you either exchange your keystone or dismiss it manually. It does not try to be clever about whether an exchange is actually available, and it never swaps your key for you. It simply makes sure the decision stays in front of you instead of slipping your mind.
The popup is fully movable, so you can drag it wherever it suits your UI layout, and the addon remembers that position per character. If you play several alts, each one keeps its own window placement and preferences. Sound alerts repeat every 20 seconds by default, which is enough to catch your attention without being obnoxious, but you can adjust the interval, play only the initial sound, or mute the alert entirely.
Commands and Customization
Everything is controlled through the /ksr slash command, which keeps the addon out of your way until you need it. Type /ksr on its own to see help and your current settings. From there, the options cover the situations players actually run into:
- /ksr test — preview the reminder anywhere, even outside a dungeon, so you can position the window before a real run.
- /ksr hide — dismiss an active reminder.
- /ksr sound off and /ksr sound on — toggle audio alerts.
- /ksr repeat 30 — change the sound interval to 30 seconds, or any value you prefer.
- /ksr repeat 0 — play only the initial sound and nothing after.
- /ksr reset — restore the window to its default position.
- /ksr on and /ksr off — enable or disable automatic reminders entirely.
There is also solid quality-of-life support for the moments that matter. If you type /reload while still inside the dungeon, the addon restores an active reminder once you are back in the game. No other addons are required, so it slots cleanly into any setup without dependency headaches.
Version Support and Compatibility
Change Keystone Reminder is built with World of Warcraft Retail in mind, including the current Midnight era of the game, where Mythic+ remains one of the most popular endgame activities. Players on other client branches, such as Classic, The Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, Cataclysm, and Mists of Pandaria, should check the addon listing for the specific version they play, since keystone systems and dungeon tools differ between expansions. The core idea translates well wherever Mythic+ style keystones exist, but always confirm compatibility for your client before relying on it in a timed run.
If you want a frictionless setup, the foxygame.net launcher is worth a look: it presents Change Keystone Reminder inside a browsable addon catalog and installs it with a single click, then keeps it updated automatically as new versions ship. That saves you the manual folder shuffling and the guesswork about which build matches your game client.
How to Install Change Keystone Reminder
Installation follows the standard addon routine. Download Change Keystone Reminder from your preferred addon source, extract the folder, and place it inside your World of Warcraft Interface/AddOns directory. Restart the game or reload your UI, and the addon will be active. From there, run /ksr test to confirm everything works, drag the popup where you want it, and set your sound preferences. If you ever need to start over, /ksr reset puts the window back to default.
For anyone who runs Mythic+ regularly, this is one of those small utilities that quietly saves you from a genuinely annoying mistake. It does not automate anything, it does not make decisions for you, and it does not clutter your screen when you are not in a dungeon. It just reminds you, at the exact moment it matters, to deal with your keystone before the opportunity disappears.
The Bottom Line
Change Keystone Reminder solves a narrow problem extremely well. The popup, the adjustable sound, the per-character settings, and the simple command list all add up to an addon that respects your time and your UI. Whether you are pushing high keys in Retail or revisiting older content, having a dependable nudge at the end of every run is a small change that prevents a very real headache. Download Change Keystone Reminder, run the test command once, and you will wonder how you ever managed without it.
