Why we like it

QuickBookmarks earns its place as a small, single-purpose add-on rather than a broad feature set: it gathers folder and website shortcuts into two Viewport header menus and lets you manage them freely. For anyone who keeps returning to the same directories and reference sites, that focus is the appeal.

What is Quickbookmarks?

QuickBookmarks is a lightweight Blender add-on that places two menus in the 3D Viewport header: one for folder shortcuts and one for website links, keeping the resources you use most within easy reach.

The folder menu holds shortcuts to frequently used directories such as project folders, asset libraries, reference folders, and export locations, opening each in your system's file explorer. The website menu stores quick-access links to pages like documentation, tutorials, project management tools, and reference boards, opening them in your default browser with a single click.

Links can be added, renamed, reordered, and removed at any time, letting you shape a personalized navigation hub around your own setup. Buttons can be shown as icons only or as icons and text, and the add-on is compatible with Blender 3.6 and newer.

Who is Quickbookmarks best for?

Quickbookmarks is best for blender users who want quick access to frequently used folders such as project directories, asset libraries, and export locations, along with website links like documentation, tutorials, and reference boards, from the Viewport header.

How much does Quickbookmarks cost?

Quickbookmarks is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Which Blender versions does QuickBookmarks support?

QuickBookmarks is compatible with Blender 3.6 and newer, with the listing noting support up through the 5.2 range. It integrates into the 3D Viewport header of those versions, so once installed the two menus appear alongside the existing header controls. If you run an older build than 3.6, check the developer's page before relying on it, since compatibility is stated from 3.6 onward. Within the supported range, the two menus keep folder and website shortcuts available directly from the header.

Where do the QuickBookmarks menus show up in Blender?

QuickBookmarks adds two menus directly to the 3D Viewport header: one dedicated to folder shortcuts and one to website links. From the folder menu you open saved directories in your system's file explorer, and from the website menu you open saved pages in your default browser with a single click. The buttons can be shown as icons only or as icons and text, so you can pick the display that suits you. Both menus sit in the header, alongside the controls already there.

Can I edit or reorder links in QuickBookmarks?

QuickBookmarks lets you add, rename, reorder, and remove both folder shortcuts and website links at any time. That means you can build out a set of bookmarks and keep adjusting it as a project changes, rather than being locked into a fixed list. The add-on describes this as creating a personalized navigation hub tailored to your workflow, covering project directories, asset libraries, reference folders, export locations, and web pages such as documentation or tutorials. Links stay editable whenever you need to update them.

Is QuickBookmarks free to use?

QuickBookmarks is listed as free here in the catalog, so you can add it to your Blender setup without a purchase on this page. Licensing and pricing can change over time, and the add-on is distributed under the GPL license, so for the current terms and the latest release it's best to check the developer's page directly. That's also where you'll find the download and any documentation the creator provides.
