See it in 60 seconds
Everything your sidebar was missing.
Quick Switch
Group addons into project sets like Modeling, Sculpt or Render, and swap the whole sidebar with one click.
Many addons, one tab
Put several addons in a single tab and flip between them without hunting down the strip.
Excluded addons
Keep the tools you always reach for in their own tabs. Everything else gets organised.
Collapsible groups
Expand only what you need right now and collapse the rest to save vertical space.
Save and share layouts
Export your layout as a JSON file and load it on another computer or a new Blender version.
Safe restore
Turn the addon off and every panel goes back to exactly where it was before.
Conflict warning
Spots other sidebar managers and warns you, instead of fighting them over the same panels.
Update checker
See when a new version is out and download it in one click from the preferences.
Watch each feature work.
Quick Switch Tab
Organise your addons into project-specific groups and cut the interface clutter. Access only the tools you need and swap between addon sets with a single click.
Multiple Addon Selection
Select and activate several addons at once inside a single N-Panel tab. Combine different tools into a custom workspace that fits the project in front of you.
Excluded Addons
Keep specific addons in your main N-Panel while everything else moves into managed folders. You stay in full control of your workspace.
User-Friendly UI
A clean, intuitive interface. No complex menus, no overwhelming options — just efficient workspace organisation.

Questions
Which Blender versions does it support?
Version 2.0 supports Blender 4.2 LTS through 5.2 LTS on Windows, macOS and Linux.
Will I lose my layout if I disable it?
No. Your layout is saved and backed up to a file, and every panel returns to its original tab while the addon is off.
Does it work alongside other sidebar managers?
Use one sidebar manager at a time. If 2.0 finds another one enabled, it shows a warning instead of fighting over the same panels.
I bought 1.x. Do I pay again for 2.0?
No. Download 2.0 from your Superhive or Gumroad library.
How do I install it?
In Blender, open Edit › Preferences › Get Extensions, choose Install from Disk, and pick the downloaded .zip.
Where do I get help?
Check the documentation, message me on Superhive, or ask in the Discord. Bug reports get a reply there first.
Got an addon idea?
Share it on Discord. If it's a really good one, I'll build it for you for free.
