Easy Filter

Keep your Blender sidebar clean. Show only the add-ons you actually use.

Too many add-ons means too many tabs in the N-panel. Easy Filter adds one simple checklist that lets you choose which add-ons appear in the sidebar and hides the rest. Nothing is disabled or uninstalled: panels are only hidden, and you can bring them back at any time.

Features

• One checklist of every add-on that has a sidebar panel, numbered for easy reference
• Check = show, uncheck = hide
• “Show only checked add-ons” master switch: turn it off and everything is visible again
• All / None buttons to check or uncheck everything at once
• Scrollable list that grows with the number of add-ons, up to 10 rows (drag the bottom handle to make it taller)
• Built-in search box and alphabetical sorting
• Remembers your selection between Blender sessions
• Picks up newly enabled add-ons automatically, plus a Refresh button to rescan on demand
• Hides an add-on’s sidebar panels in every editor, not only the 3D Viewport

How to use

1. Install and enable Easy Filter.
2. In the 3D Viewport, press N and open the Easy Filter tab.
3. Uncheck the add-ons you want to hide.
4. Tick “Show only checked add-ons” to apply. Untick it to show everything again.

Requirements

Blender 5.2.2 or newer

Good to know

• Blender’s own panels and Easy Filter’s own tab are never hidden.
• Hiding an add-on only hides its sidebar panels. The add-on stays enabled and keeps working.
• The first time you hide an add-on, its panels are re-registered, so their order inside a tab may change.
