Addon Controller - Enable/Disable, Sort & Search Addon Manager

Addon Controller lives in the 3D View sidebar, so its panel stays accessible while you work. The interface uses a clear visual hierarchy with icons and colors that distinguish addon states and types, and a collapsible details panel shows full information when you need it and hides it when you don't. The layout is responsive and adapts to different screen sizes. From the same panel you can view each addon's name, author, version, and category, and toggle any addon on or off with a single click.

Addon Controller supports batch operations through checkbox selection, letting you act on several addons in one pass. You can batch enable or disable selected addons, install multiple addons from a folder at once, and uninstall selected addons with a confirmation dialog. Version 0.3.7 also added batch lock and unlock operations, a batch set-category operation with replace, add, and remove modes, and sequential batch enabling to prevent the UI from freezing during large operations. A detailed installation report shows success, fail, and check status.

Addon Controller includes automatic dependency detection that reads dependencies from an addon's bl_info, and you can manually add or remove dependencies using the [+] and [X] buttons, with manual entries saved across refreshes. When you enable an addon its dependencies are enabled automatically, and when you disable or uninstall an addon, addons that depend on it are disabled to prevent errors. Version 0.3.7 added recursive handling of transitive dependencies and dependents, auto-locking of dependencies when you lock an addon, and cached dependency popups for better performance.

Addon Controller's safe mode disables all non-core addons with a single click when problems arise, giving you a clean state for troubleshooting. It never disables Blender core addons, so essential functionality stays intact. When you exit safe mode, it automatically restores your previous addon configuration through smart recovery. This pairs with the snapshot system, which saves the current enable state and restores it in one click, along with auto backup to protect your workflow configuration and snapshot management for renaming, deleting, and viewing details.

Addon Controller is listed as free in this catalog. For current licensing terms, and to confirm nothing has changed, check the developer's page. The version documented here is 0.3.7, which added a preset system for switching configurations, a group system for organizing addons, category management with enable, disable, rename, and delete, support for multiple tags per addon through an Edit Tags dialog, and legacy data migration from the addon folder to the config folder, alongside various UI and performance fixes.
