Overview

Tinkr provided Lua access on macOS for third-party WoW bots and combat rotations. Community reportCommunity reportCommunity reportCommunity reportTinkr

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. Community reportCommunity reportTinkr

Before you buy

  • The former domain promotes NilName, and the surviving integration and shop pages don't say whether Tinkr itself still exists.
  • Archived code and old sales pages show how Tinkr worked, not whether anyone runs it today.

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. Community report

Features and plugins (3)
  • Older BadRotations setup guides describe running it through Tinkr GitHub page
  • Archived API docs group functions under Filesystem, Interaction, Utility, Routine and Modules Docs page
  • The old tinkr.site domain now shows NilName content, which says nothing about Tinkr still running Tinkr page

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

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.

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

    Third-party integration

    Community report
  • 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.
