Why we like it

KoreOutliner earns its place in the superhive library for a focused job: it links your 3D Viewport selection to the Outliner so you spend less time scrolling. Its single file, dependency-free build spans Blender 3.6 through 5.1 on all three desktop platforms.

What is Koreoutliner - Auto Focus & Highlight In Outliner?

KoreOutliner - Auto Focus & Highlight In Outliner is a Blender add-on from Kore that keeps the Outliner in sync with what you select in the 3D Viewport. Click any object and the Outliner scrolls to show it, while collapsed parent collections expand automatically to reveal nested objects.

The add-on is selection-aware, so it triggers when you select an object, including the move from an empty selection to your first click. It uses a debounced timer, which the developer describes as having near-zero impact on performance even in heavy scenes.

KoreOutliner works with Blender 3.6, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 5.0 and 5.1 on Windows, macOS and Linux. It ships as a single file add-on with no dependencies and is released under the GPL license. A demo video is available.
