Runes is a Windower 4 addon to help automate the management of Rune Enhancement effects for the Rune Fencer job. With Runes, there's no need to worry about buffs dropping and having to flip through macro pages to reapply the same (or entirely different) sets. Simply set the runes that you wish to maintain and let the addon do the rest. When the player character is in combat, or is idle, the addon will read this configuration and automatically reapply the desired runes as needed.
Runes requires the use of external support libraries in order to function properly. Prior to installing Runes, make sure to also install my Windower 4 Support Libraries found here.
To install Runes, simply download the latest release from Github and place the contents into your addons/ folder within Windower's install directory as shown below.

Once the addon has been installed it will be available within the game via lua load runes. Feel free to add this to your startup script as desired.
When Runes is loaded, it will be disabled by default. To enable the addon, use the designated command.
//runes toggle on
Likewise, disabling the addon is just as simple.
//runes toggle off
If on or off is omitted, the addon will simply flip to the inverse of the current state. This is useful for creating a single macro to swap between states instead of relying on two explicit macros to enable or disable the addon.
Note: When moving between zones, the addon will revert to a disabled state. This is intentional so that the player may move around the world without being inadvertently interrupted every time the buffs wear upon zoning.
Applying runes is intended to blend fairly seamlessly with standard play. There are no special configuration files needed and adding a single line to a macro will be sufficient enough to get started with basic functionality.

Adding this line to a macro will forward the rune to the addon and will signify that it should be reapplied when it has dropped from the player's pool of buffs. The player's job level -- be it main job or subjob -- will automatically determine the number of runes that can be applied at any given time. It is not necessary to remove runes from the list before adding more if adding more will exceed the cap. If the rune cap is reached, the oldest will be removed first to make room for the new ones.
For example; if the following runes ignis, sulpor, and gelus were applied (in that order), applying tenebrae would simply remove ignis from the list -- leaving sulpor, gelus, and tenebrae to be maintained.
Saving sets is also available as well. This is useful for scenarios where it may be necessary to use multiple configurations based on the battle in question.
