Easy Layer Manager by EasyTeam

A modern, viewport-based layer system that replaces Blender's chaotic Outliner workflow.
Organize your scenes faster, cleaner, and with full control directly inside the Viewport.

Easy Layer Manager introduces a simple and powerful layer interface designed for real production work. Drag layers, toggle visibility in bulk, search instantly, manage objects per layer, merge structures, and navigate even the largest scenes without friction.

Installation note: After installing via drag & drop in Blender 4.2+, if the toolbar button does not appear, disable and re-enable the addon from Preferences > Add-ons. This is a one-time step.
