Are you ready for the ultimate (and possibly over-engineered) tool for your multi-boxing pleasure?

Tired of treating login_w.bin like an ancient artifact? Sick of losing precious minutes to “Where did I put that backup?”

Meet FFXI Manager — the Swiss Army Knife for your Vana’diel multi-boxing life. Built by a fellow multi-boxer in the heat of battle, this app turns login chaos into clockwork precision.

✨ Features:

  • NEW BETA - Autologin multiple accounts!

  • Login Profile Mastery – Save & swap login_w.bin without spelunking through folders.

  • Application Manager – Herd Windower, POL Proxy, & more like Chocobos with live status monitoring. Know when they’re “Ready for Battle” or “AFK.”

  • Character Monitor & Quick Switch – Detects your characters on login and gives you an always-on-top switcher. Perfect for those “Oh no… wrong mule!” moments.

  • Global Hotkey System - Instant character switching (defaults are WIN+F1 to WIN+F9) completely customizable in settings


What's New:

  • 20 PlayOnline slots per bin file (multi-box heaven!) for Windower users

  • Enhanced Workflow Editor with center-relative clicks

  • Scroll wheel navigation support

  • Smoother auto-login timing



Beta warning: May contain trace amounts of unexpected Bomb Tosses

Recommended: Backup if on the beta, then deleting folder allowing the application to move in the new standard defaults.
Code 
%APPDATA%\FFXIManager\workflows

These new defaults do not use any template matching and have gone from nearly 1:40 login to 1:07 per character.

Download it. Try it. Break it.
Then tell me what you think — or what you broke.

⚠ Side Effects May Include: Reduced alt-tab rage, spontaneous fishing trips, and smugly logging in before your friends.

Made with ❤️ for the FFXI community.

Seems like a genuinely useful program, but the ChatGPT readme makes it really difficult to understand straight forward use.

Someone showed me this earlier this week and I took one look at the readme and felt like I was having a stroke.

Could not figure out what it does from it

Thanks for feedback!

Yea, I was probably having a bit too much fun with Claude [and a lil GPT] on making that one. I agree it could be toned down quite a bit. LOL

Can't imagine what people would have thought back in 2004-2010 or even a couple years later that hundreds of people would be running around with 4-6 botted chars all the time.

  • Auto-Login Support - 100% Locally managed!

  • Expanded PlayOnline Slots - Now supports 20 member accounts (for all you Windower multi-boxers out there!)

  • Enhanced Workflow Editor - Now with center-relative coordinates (because clicking random pixels is so 2004)

Hiya! I appreciate this very much. However, one request is that, could you be able to make it choose different Windower Profiles instead of only the first/primary one? That would be amazing!

I used to use a Stream Deck Button Board to automate button presses and logins. This is much faster, cleaner and much welcomed. Thanks!

Just copy the shortcut to your profile command into the apps > windower > "Command line Arguments" :)

Great feedback, it sounds like it may make the most sense for this to be part of the PlayOnline Account Details. That would give the easiest control on a per account/character basis.

Also, we've had a few beta updates, be sure to check out for any fixes :)

Is there any chance to add cycling back through the hotkeys method?

If so this would completely remove my reliance on ffxo switchmon :D

There is an addon for that, switch_focus, it is in the windower launcher. Ashita has something similar I believe it is called focus

That sadly cycles by alphabetical order, which is a big no go for me. I have my characters in a certain order that i'd like to keep them in :(

That would be a simple problem to solve, just bind the command to switch to the specified box.

That would be slightly difficult as I only have 4 back buttons on my controller and 10 boxes I'd like to cycle through :D

Bind the command on each box to swap to the next box. Then the same button moves forward in order.
