Why we like it

Node Labeler Add-On stands out in the superhive library because it pulls four small node-management actions—automatic and manual labeling, batch clearing, and Reroute extrusion—under shortcut keys you assign yourself.

What is Node Labeler Add-On?

Node Labeler Add-On, made by Blender Bash, focuses on the labels of Geometry nodes in Blender. It gives you four tools, each triggered by a shortcut key you assign inside the addon preferences.

The first tool automatically labels selected nodes or Reroutes when you press its shortcut (Y by default), naming each node after the socket the connection comes from. A second tool opens a popup for labeling a node manually (Ctrl + Y by default). A third clears the labels from all selected nodes and Reroutes at once (Ctrl + Shift + Y by default). The fourth extrudes a Reroute from every output socket of a selected node (Ctrl + E by default).

That last tool is a Node Wrangler operator, so it depends on Node Wrangler being enabled. It is included here so you can assign it a custom shortcut key. The addon is listed for Blender 3.4 under a GPL license, and documentation is provided.

Who is Node Labeler Add-On best for?

Node Labeler Add-On is best for blender artists working with Geometry nodes who want to label nodes and manage Reroutes using shortcut keys.

How much does Node Labeler Add-On cost?

Node Labeler Add-On is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does Node Labeler Add-On work with Blender 3.4?

Node Labeler Add-On is listed for Blender version 3.4. If you run that version, the addon and its four tools should be available to you. For other Blender releases, check the developer's page before installing, since compatibility beyond 3.4 is not stated here. The addon is distributed under a GPL license, and documentation is provided to help you get set up.

Do I need Node Wrangler for Node Labeler Add-On?

Node Labeler Add-On includes an extrude Reroutes tool that creates a Reroute for every output socket of a selected node. That particular tool is a Node Wrangler operator, so it will not work if Node Wrangler is disabled. It is bundled here so you can assign it a custom shortcut key (Ctrl + E by default). The other three tools—automatic labeling, manual labeling, and batch clearing—do not depend on Node Wrangler.

How do I trigger Node Labeler Add-On's tools?

Node Labeler Add-On maps each of its four tools to a shortcut key that you set inside the addon preferences. By default, Y automatically labels selected nodes after the socket their connection comes from, Ctrl + Y opens a popup for manual labeling, Ctrl + Shift + Y clears labels from all selected nodes and Reroutes, and Ctrl + E extrudes a Reroute from every output socket. You can change any of these defaults in the preferences.

Is Node Labeler Add-On free?

Node Labeler Add-On is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing can change over time, so check the developer's page for the current terms before you download. The addon itself is distributed under a GPL license, and a demo video is available if you want to see more about it beforehand. Documentation is also provided, and its four tools are triggered by shortcut keys you set in the preferences.
