Tinkr

Tinkr was a macOS Lua unlocker for bots and rotations, but we could not verify that it still runs. Its former domain now shows NilName content.

Overview

Tinkr provided Lua access on macOS for third-party WoW bots and combat rotations. [2][3][1][9][10]

More about this product

The surviving references place Tinkr in the historical category for now: the directory marks it offline, users reported its end in January 2026, and its former domain shows NilName content. A working current release remains unverified. [1][9][10]

Before you buy

  • The former Tinkr domain now promotes NilName, while the surviving integration and reseller pages leave the status of Tinkr itself unresolved.
  • Archived code and old sales pages can explain how Tinkr worked, but they cannot tell you whether anyone still operates the service.

Community and support

Old integration guides and discussions are still readable, but they do not lead to a verified current Tinkr support channel.

Support details

The surviving integrations and discussions provide historical context, while a current Tinkr support channel remains unverified.

A user reported unresolved GoHandsFree/Tinkr compatibility trouble in May 2024, without enough detail to establish its duration or who was responsible. [1]

Features and plugins (1)
  • Older integration guides describe using BadRotations with Tinkr. [source]

These details come from the linked published sources; we have not tested the software ourselves.

Privacy and security

Our description is based on the linked documentation; we have not tested Tinkr ourselves or found an independent comparison of its security or detection rates.

Update record

The surviving records describe older integrations and compatibility trouble. They leave update speed unmeasured and do not establish an active Tinkr update service.

Update log and evidence (2)

Current availability and patch turnaround both remain unresolved; no reliable timing figures were found.

Update speed has not been measured.

    Third-party integration

    [1]
  • A directory entry, testimonial or automatic updater cannot supply the missing measurements of patch turnaround.
  • A public release history with version numbers was unavailable.
  • The documentation and third-party compatibility records are historical, with no current Tinkr update service established.

Ban reports and history

Users reporting bans disagree over whether Tinkr or the scripts running through it were responsible. Reports of closure and the changed website concern the service's availability, without establishing another detection.

About these reports

Several public posts describe Tinkr-related bans, but users repeatedly disagree about the role of Tinkr versus a framework running through it. The closure reports and changed website belong to the service history without establishing another detection.

The reviewed public records run from June 2021 through September 2026. Searches covered banwave, bans, detection, hacked, malware and breach, without finding a complete provider incident archive, a technical cause report or a verified security breach. Repeated quotations were treated as references to existing incidents.
