Why we like it

Quick Save earns its place in the superhive library by keeping both a one-click save and an interval-based auto save within a single panel in the 3D view.

What is Quick Save?

Quick Save is an add-on for Blender that focuses on saving files with less friction. A one-click quick save writes your project instantly, without navigating through menus or dialogues, and an auto save function saves the project automatically at regular intervals. You set the interval yourself, so you can choose frequent saves or longer gaps between them.

The add-on integrates into Blender's UI with a dedicated panel in the 3D view, keeping the saving options within reach while you work. It is compatible with Blender 4.0 and later, and is distributed under the GPL license. Installation uses a Python file that you add through Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > Install, then enable after selecting the file.

The developer notes that future updates to the add-on will be provided free of charge to those who purchase it, with more features planned. A demo video is available for those who want a closer look before installing.

Who is Quick Save best for?

Quick Save is best for blender users who want faster manual saving and an automatic save at a chosen interval.

How much does Quick Save cost?

Quick Save is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does Quick Save work with Blender 4.0?

Quick Save is compatible with Blender 4.0 and all versions from 4.0 onwards, and its listed Blender version is 4.0. If you are running a build in that range, the add-on is intended to work with it. The add-on integrates into Blender's UI with a dedicated panel in the 3D view once enabled. For behaviour on a specific point release or any newer version, check the developer's page for the latest details and any updates to the add-on.

How do I install Quick Save in Blender?

Quick Save ships as a Python file that you add through Blender's add-on system. Open Edit, then Preferences, then Add-ons, choose Install, select the provided file, and confirm the install. After installation, enable the add-on so it becomes active. Once enabled, it adds a dedicated panel in the 3D view where the saving options live. This follows Blender's standard add-on installation flow, so if you have installed other add-ons the same way, the steps will look familiar.

Can Quick Save save my project automatically?

Quick Save includes an auto save function that saves your Blender project automatically at regular intervals. You set the interval yourself, so you can pick frequent saves for more security or longer gaps to reduce interruptions. Alongside the automatic saving, the add-on also offers a one-click quick save that writes the project instantly without navigating through menus or dialogues. Both options are reachable from the dedicated panel the add-on adds to the 3D view, so you can trigger a manual save or rely on the interval as you prefer.

Is Quick Save free?

Quick Save is listed as free in this catalog. The developer also states that future updates to the add-on will be provided at no cost to those who purchase it, with more features planned over time. Because licensing and pricing can change, check the developer's page for the current terms before you download. The add-on is distributed under the GPL license, which is worth noting if that matters for how you use or share it within your projects.
