Control every Blender area without breaking your workspace

Zen Dock adds a compact window control bar for toggling editors, minimizing and restoring areas, maximizing views, closing panels, and launching custom commands in one click.

01

Switch editors instantly

Open, hide, replace, or move Blender editors without rebuilding the current layout.

02

Keep layouts organized

Minimize areas temporarily and restore them with their tools, sidebars, and space settings intact.

03

Build your own controls

Create buttons for editors, operators, panels, menus, pie menus, and custom scripts.

Core workflows

Custom Toggle Buttons

Open an editor, replace the active area, or launch it in a separate window from one button.
