What is QUI?
QUI is a full UI package for players who want combat information, layout controls, utility tools, inventory helpers, account tracking, and visual polish to live in one place. It brings together a custom combat HUD, modular feature addons, layout editing, minimap and action bar styling, group tools, chat, bags, data panels, quality-of-life automation, and profile management under one settings experience.
QUI’s interface is also localized into 11 languages and follows your WoW client language automatically. See Localization.
If you are new to QUI, the easiest way to think about it is this: install all QUI* folders, open /qui, choose which optional modules you want, then fine-tune the pieces you care about.
QUI is a multi-folder addon suite. Addon-manager installs handle this automatically. Manual installs must copy every top-level QUI* folder from the release zip into Interface\AddOns\, not only the QUI folder.

- Fast to set up with bundled imports, profile tools, and a dedicated Layout Mode.
