FRF Clocking
Time management in World of Warcraft rarely gets the attention it deserves. Between tracking cooldowns, watching your gold, and juggling daily quests, a simple glance at the clock can save you from missing a raid invite or a world event. FRF Clocking is an addon that places a fully customizable clock, useful information displays, and everyday shortcuts exactly where you want them on your screen. Whether you play Retail or dive into older content, this addon adapts to your setup.
What FRF Clocking Offers
At its core, FRF Clocking gives you control over what appears on your interface and how it looks. You can build a minimal clock display or arrange a complete set of shortcuts around it. The addon supports multiple display types, including the clock itself, the current date, your frames per second, total played time, and your character's gold. Each display can be customized with different fonts, text sizes, colors, outlines, and shadows, letting you match your UI theme perfectly.
Layout and Arrangement
Getting started with the layout is straightforward. You can begin with a pre-built template and then move individual displays on screen. Free movement lets you place elements anywhere, while grid snapping keeps everything aligned. The "Move together" option is especially handy when arranging a group of displays, and you can save or cancel your changes at any point.
Shortcuts and Everyday Actions
FRF Clocking isn't just about telling time. It also keeps useful actions within reach. You can configure two shortcut sets, labeled A and B, with up to 10 actions in each. Display options include icons, text, or both, and you can adjust icon designs, shapes, borders, and spacing to suit your preferences. Common uses include opening frequently accessed game windows or checking which friends and guild members are online.
If you also run FRF PINOTE, the addon integrates seamlessly by adding separate shortcuts for its notes and pins. This makes it easy to keep important information accessible without cluttering your main interface.
Daily Activity Journal
The daily activity journal is a standout feature for players who like to review their progress. Depending on what your game client tracks, records can include play time, gold changes, quests completed, loot acquired, groups formed, and encounters. You can also set reminders for specific tasks. It's worth noting that activity is only recorded while Clocking is running, so it won't retrieve past sessions.
Compatibility Across WoW Versions
FRF Clocking supports a wide range of World of Warcraft versions. The addon works with Retail and Forever, with actions matched to the specific game client. Players on Classic, The Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, Cataclysm, and Mists of Pandaria can also benefit, though available features may vary depending on what each client supports. Settings are available in both English and Korean, making the addon accessible to a broader audience.
For those who prefer a streamlined setup process, the foxygame.net launcher offers a convenient way to manage addons. It includes FRF Clocking in its catalog, allowing one-click installation and automatic updates so your version always matches your game client.
How to Install FRF Clocking
Installing the addon is a simple process. First, download FRF Clocking from your preferred addon source. You'll also need FRF Config installed alongside it for full functionality. Once both are in place, open the game and type /frf to access the configuration menu. Select FRF Clocking, choose a template or your preferred displays, and then use the "Arrange on screen" option to position everything.

If you ever want to disable the addon temporarily, simply turn off "Enable addon." This hides its displays and stops its features while preserving all your preferences for when you're ready to use it again.
Final Thoughts
FRF Clocking for World of Warcraft fills a niche that many players don't realize they need until they try it. By combining a customizable clock with useful shortcuts and a daily activity journal, it streamlines your interface and keeps important information visible. Whether you're a seasoned raider tracking play time or a casual player who just wants a better-looking clock, this addon delivers flexibility and functionality across multiple game versions.
