Why we like it

Earns its place in the Superhive library by consolidating add-on management, backup, restore, install, and uninstall into a single Blender panel.

What is Addon Manager Pro?

Addon Manager Pro brings Blender's add-ons and extensions together in one panel. From this interface you can view and manage everything you have installed, enable or disable items directly, install new add-ons from a file with automatic enabling, and fully uninstall the ones you no longer need.

The backup and restore workflow lets you back up all your add-ons and extensions and restore them with a single click when needed. A dedicated button restarts Blender to apply changes. The panel is reached in the 3D Viewport by pressing N and opening the AddOn Manager tab, and it is also accessible under Edit > Preferences > Add-ons.

The add-on is compatible with Blender 3.6 and newer, and runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS. It is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0, with the full license text included in the add-on's folder.

Frequently asked questions

Does Addon Manager Pro work with Blender 4.5?

Addon Manager Pro is compatible with Blender 3.6 and newer versions, and the listing notes support across the 3.6 to 4.5 range. If you are running a version within or newer than this range, the add-on should be compatible. Confirm the exact Blender build you use against the developer's page before installing, since compatibility details can change with newer releases. The panel is accessed in the 3D Viewport sidebar and under Edit > Preferences > Add-ons.

What operating systems does Addon Manager Pro support?

Addon Manager Pro runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS, covering the three main platforms Blender itself supports. This means you can use the same add-on management, backup, restore, install, and uninstall features regardless of which of these operating systems you work on. For any platform-specific notes or requirements, check the developer's page, where the author lists compatibility details alongside the supported Blender versions.

How do I open the Addon Manager Pro panel in Blender?

Addon Manager Pro is used from the 3D Viewport sidebar. Open the sidebar by pressing the N key, then go to the AddOn Manager tab. From that panel you use the buttons to manage your add-ons and extensions, including backup, restore, install, enable, disable, and uninstall. The add-on management panel is also accessible under Edit > Preferences > Add-ons, giving you a second route to the same controls.

What license does Addon Manager Pro use?

Addon Manager Pro is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0. The full text of the license is included in the add-on's folder as a LICENSE file, which you can refer to for the complete terms. This catalog lists the entry as free; for current licensing, purchase options, and support period details, refer to the developer's page, where the author provides contact information and further specifics.
