Why we like it

Favorites Addon With Tabs earns its place in the superhive library for a focused job: pulling panels from scattered add-ons into a single, organized Favorites tab. The v1.1 update added the ability to split favorited panels into separate tabs for finer control over the layout.

What is Favorites Addon With Tabs, Consolidate Your Favorite Panels Into A Single Addon View For Quick Access?

Favorites Addon With Tabs creates a dedicated Favorites tab in Blender's 3D View interface, where you can collect and organize panels drawn from any installed add-on. It targets a common frustration for power users: constantly switching between tabs to reach frequently used panels, gathering them instead into one location.

From there you can reorder panels with up and down buttons, separate favorited panels into tabs, apply color coding to panel headers for visual identification, and toggle individual panels or all of them at once. Your panel selection and organization are preserved between sessions, and the whole setup runs through a dialog interface for choosing and managing favorites.

The add-on works with Blender 4.3 and above, and with panels from all properly coded Blender add-ons. It is released under the GPL license.

Frequently asked questions

Does Favorites Addon With Tabs work with Blender 4.3?

Favorites Addon With Tabs works with Blender 4.3 and above, and it is listed for Blender versions 4.3 and 4.4. It is also compatible with panels from all properly coded Blender add-ons, so panels from any correctly built add-on can be pulled into the Favorites tab. The developer notes it should work with earlier versions too, though only 4.3 and later are stated as officially supported. For the latest compatibility details, check the developer's page before installing.

Is Favorites Addon With Tabs free to download?

Favorites Addon With Tabs is listed as free here. Licensing on the developer's own page may differ or change over time, so it is worth checking there for current terms before you download. The add-on is released under the GPL license, which covers how the code can be used and redistributed. For anything specific about pricing or usage rights, the developer's page and the GPL terms are the best places to confirm the details.

Does Favorites Addon With Tabs work with panels from any add-on?

Favorites Addon With Tabs is designed to gather panels from various installed add-ons into one place, and it is compatible with panels from all properly coded Blender add-ons. You select the panels you want through a dialog interface, then reorder them with up and down buttons and separate them into tabs. Color coding can be applied to panel headers, and individual panels or all of them can be expanded or collapsed. Because it relies on properly coded add-ons, panels from non-standard or improperly built add-ons may not appear.

Are my panel selections saved between sessions in Favorites Addon With Tabs?

Favorites Addon With Tabs preserves your panel selection and organization between sessions, so the layout you build stays in place the next time you open Blender. This covers which panels you have favorited, the order you set with the up and down buttons, and how you have grouped them into tabs. Because the setup is retained, you do not need to reselect and rearrange your favorite panels every time you start a new session, which keeps the Favorites tab ready as you left it.
