A focused utility that centralises access to your activated addons' panels and preferences, with sorting, search, and a recently-used list.
Cool Addons Menu is an addon for Blender from Kito Studio that automatically identifies your activated addons and lists them in one place. Only addons that have a panel in the N-Panel are listed, and the list updates dynamically when you install, uninstall, or enable and disable addons. Entries are shown alphabetically with the current version listed beside each name.
Clicking an addon opens its panel, and a gear button opens that addon's preferences configuration page. A "Sort by N-Panel tabs" checkbox groups addons by the tab they belong to, with tabs listed alphabetically and the number of addons shown after each tab name. A search field filters the list to addons whose names contain the string you type, and an x button clears the filter.
Cool Addons Menu also keeps a "Recently used" area showing the last five addons you reached through it, from which you can open an addon's UI panel or preferences page the same way as the main list. Documentation is included, and a demo video is available.
Cool Addons Menu is best for blender users who want to reach their activated addons without browsing the vertical tabs of the N-panel.
Cool Addons Menu is completely free to download and use.
Cool Addons Menu lists Blender version support from 4.1 to 5.1. If you run a Blender release within that range, the addon is intended to work with your setup. Because it works with panels registered in the N-Panel, its behaviour depends on the addons you have activated in your version of Blender. For the most current compatibility details and any updates beyond this range, check the developer's page on Superhive or Gumroad before installing.
Cool Addons Menu only lists addons that have a panel in the N-Panel. It automatically detects your activated addons and displays them alphabetically, with each addon's current version shown beside its name. The list updates dynamically when you install new addons, uninstall existing ones, or enable and disable them, so it reflects your current setup. Addons without an N-Panel panel will not appear in the list.
Cool Addons Menu includes an addons finder where you type any string and press the find button. It then filters the list to show only addons whose names contain the string you typed. To clear the filter and return to the full list, click the x button. This works alongside the main list and the "Recently used" area, which shows the last five addons you reached through Cool Addons Menu.
Cool Addons Menu is listed as free in this catalog. It is distributed under the GPL license and is available on the Superhive and Gumroad marketplaces. For current licensing terms and any pricing details from the developer, Kito Studio, check the developer's page directly. The addon includes documentation, and a demo video is available to see how it is presented before you download it.
