Why we like it

Blender Unwrapped earns its place in the superhive library as a Blender-focused stats tracker, positioned as the only way to track how much time you spend in Blender across multiple versions. The daily streak counter and shareable stats image give it a lighter, motivational angle alongside the usage data.

What is Blender Unwrapped?

Blender Unwrapped is a stats tracking addon for Blender, built for people who want to learn about how they use the software. It records how much time you spend in Blender across multiple versions, and it drills down to how much time you spend in each file, which helps with knowing if you're becoming more efficient as an artist. It also tracks how much time you spend rendering.

Beyond raw time, the addon keeps a daily streak counter, similar to Duolingo, to help motivate and challenge you to keep using Blender. You can generate a colorful image of your stats to share with friends, and, yes, it will even count how many times you delete the default cube.

Blender Unwrapped is currently available for Windows and works with Blender 3.6 and up, with listed support for 3.6, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3. It is distributed under the GPL license, and a demo video is available from developer Josiah Bout.
