Horizontal Sidebar Navigator
add-on
Organize all Blender N-Panel tabs into one clean horizontal list. Instantly switch between add-on panels, pin favorites, keep essential tabs at the top, and enjoy a faster, cleaner Blender workflow.
A Better Way to Navigate the Blender N-Panel
Horizontal Sidebar Navigator turns Blender’s crowded vertical N-Panel tabs into a clean, readable horizontal list.
It automatically detects installed N-Panel categories and keeps them accessible from one convenient navigator. No more rotating your head to read vertical tab names or searching through dozens of add-on panels.
Switch between panels with one click, mark frequently used tabs as favorites, and keep your workspace organized even with a large collection of Blender add-ons.
