Addon Creation Helper for Blender

The smarter way to build Blender addons—right from Blender itself.

Developing Blender addons can be exciting—but let’s be honest—it can also be repetitive, cluttered, and time-consuming. That’s exactly why I created the Addon Creation Helper.

As a Blender developer myself, I was constantly switching between code editors, zipping files manually, and reinstalling test versions over and over just to catch a simple bug. So, I built a tool that takes care of all that, inside Blender, where you’re already working.

Whether you're creating your very first addon or managing multiple tools for a studio pipeline, the Addon Creation Helper keeps your process clean, fast, and frustration-free.

Imagine This:

You’ve just finished tweaking your addon. You click one button. Boom—your files are zipped with the correct structure and installed instantly. No guesswork, no file explorer back-and-forth. You're already testing it live.

That’s the experience this addon is designed to deliver—a focused, seamless workflow for Blender developers.

Who is this for?

This tool is for the problem solvers, the tinkerers, the pipeline creators—the people building the tools that help artists do their best work. 

What It Helps You Do:

• Manage your project files directly in Blender’s Text Editor

• Create properly structured zip packages for distribution or testing

• Install and test your own addons instantly, no manual steps required

• Refresh, rename, organize, and keep your workspace clutter-free

Why It Works

This isn’t a giant suite of features you’ll never use. It’s a focused, battle-tested toolkit I personally use in my development process. Every button exists because I needed it—and because fellow addon devs I shared it with needed it too.

The interface is simple, clean, and exactly where it should be—in the Text Editor’s sidebar, always within reach. No bloated menus, no complicated setups. Just you and your code, running smoothly.

You’re already doing the hard work of creating something valuable for the Blender community. Let the Addon Creation Helper take care of the annoying parts. More time for coding, less time on cleanup.

If you're ready to speed up your development and stay organized, this tool belongs in your workflow.
