Made by one of the developers behind Blender's "edge groups" feature, this addon holds a 5-star rating across a small number of reviews.
Simple Bevel Manager brings an "edge groups" approach to beveling in Blender. It lets you quickly add bevels to a model without needing to open the Modifiers panel, and select different bevel groups to manage complex models. The addon was made by Michael Jared, one of the developers who brought the "edge groups" feature to Blender.
Version 1.1 adds a quick setting for Profile Shape, referred to simply as "Shape" in the addon, along with a checkbox for adding a Weight Normals and Auto Smooth by Angle at the end of the stack. The default values are set to typical values for hard surface modeling.
Documentation is included, and a demo video is available. The addon works with Blender 4.3 through 4.5 and covers the Cycles and Eevee render engines. It is released under the MIT license.
Simple Bevel Manager is best for blender artists working on hard surface models who want to manage multiple non-destructive bevels through edge groups.
