Script Manager Pro earns its place in the blender_extensions library for keeping reusable Python scripts one click away, with tagging, favorites, and display names handled inside a single Blender panel. It carries a GPL-3.0-or-later license and runs on Blender 4.4 and newer.
Script Manager Pro is a Blender add-on from CemilBerk that provides a sidebar panel for managing and running external Python scripts. Scripts stored in a chosen folder appear in the panel, where each one can be run with a single click or opened in Blender's built-in Text Editor.
Beyond execution, the add-on lets you organize a script library. You can mark scripts as favorites and filter by them, add custom tags for categorization and filtering, and set friendly display names. Metadata edits happen inside the panel, and favorites, tags, and display names persist across sessions through a local JSON file. The developer describes it as helpful for running AI-generated or manual code snippets without building a new add-on each time.
Script Manager Pro runs on Blender 4.4 and newer, needs no external Python dependencies, and requires no network access. You set the scripts folder once in the preferences, and it is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.
Script Manager Pro is best for developers and technical artists who frequently reuse Python scripts in Blender, including AI-generated or manual code snippets.
Script Manager Pro is completely free to download and use.
Script Manager Pro is compatible with Blender 4.4 and newer. It installs as a Blender extension through Edit > Preferences > Get Extensions using Install from Disk, or manually by copying the script_manager_pro folder into your Blender extensions directory. After installation, you enable it under Edit > Preferences > Add-ons and set your scripts folder path, then open the 3D Viewport sidebar with the N key to find the Script Manager tab. Blender versions earlier than 4.4 are not listed as supported.
Script Manager Pro requires no external Python dependencies and no network access. It stores your favorites, tags, and display names locally in a JSON file, which is why it requests the Files permission to read and write that metadata. Setup is minimal: you point it at a scripts folder once in the preferences, and everything stays persistent across sessions. That makes it self-contained, with no extra service to configure or connect to before running your scripts from the panel.
Script Manager Pro reads scripts from a directory you choose. After installing and enabling the add-on, go to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons, expand Script Manager Pro, and set the Scripts Folder Path to the directory holding your Python scripts. Then open the 3D Viewport sidebar with the N key, find the Script Manager tab, and click Refresh List to scan the folder. Each script appears with buttons to play it, open it in the Text Editor, toggle its favorite status, and edit its metadata.
Script Manager Pro is listed as free in this catalog. It is distributed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, an open-source license, and its source is available on the developer's GitHub page. The most recent version documented here is 0.0.3, updated in June 2025. Because it is GPL-licensed, you are free to use, study, and modify it within the terms of that license. For current licensing and the latest release, check the developer's page.
