Why we like it

Freeflow UI earns its place for turning Blender's editors into floating, dockable windows that open from a single user-defined hotkey.

What is Freeflow Ui?

Freeflow UI is a Blender addon from K&K Visual Productions that opens Blender editors in separate floating windows. It's built for working across multiple panels or clearing clutter from your workspace, giving you flexibility in how editing tools are arranged.

The addon supports a range of Blender editor types, including the 3D Viewport, Image Editor, Node Editor, Text Editor, Graph Editor and more. Any editor can be opened as a floating tab, and windows can be docked and undocked by dragging them back to the main interface. Editors can also be opened instantly using a user-defined hotkey.

Freeflow UI installs through Blender's Add-ons preferences from a .zip file, and its panel sits in the 3D Viewport Sidebar under the UI tab. It works with Blender 3.6 and above, with listed compatibility for versions 4.3, 4.2, 4.1, 4.0 and 3.6. The addon is distributed under the GPL license.
