    Great add-on, does what it says. People who want to rename and/or merge N-panel tabs can't go wrong with this, and the filtering function is a great help too. For users who need a basic tool to tidy up their N-panel and who don't want to spend hours comparing similar add-ons to find the perfect fit, you can safely pick this one, it will do what you need and more.

    One small suggestion: move the filter icons to the left by default, that's where the demo video has them and it's more intuitive on the same side as the N-panel anyway. I spent 10 minutes trying to figure out why my icons weren't showing up, thinking I was dealing with a glitch :( Just a minor issue but it would probably save a lot of new users some hassle.

    This add-on has become essential to my workflow in Blender, to the point that I can no longer do without it. Although I don’t use all its features, it perfectly meets my needs. It could be improved, especially regarding the settings window, but I still give it 5 stars. Additionally, the creator is very responsive if any issues arise. I am very satisfied with it!

    100/10 product. Works perfectly as expected, easy to understand, and is generally a set-and-forget plugin for me. if I didn't have this, I am not sure how I would be able to live with myself with a messy n-panel.

    I had a issue with another plugin causing a sorting error on the n-panel. I contacted this support on discord, and after updating that plugin which was causing issues (since it was not a n-panel issue), it solved my problem.

    Their support is SUPER friendly and helpful, and was willing to help someone like me even though they knew it was not a n-panel issue.

    Seriously, these people deserve all the praise they are getting in the reviews, and this is my very first review I have even written for anyone on this site.

    10/10.

    It's really useful and worthy if, like me, you have a lot of addons and want to keep them all organized. It takes a little time to create all the categories you need to get everything just the way you like it, but once you do, it's really great. There are a lot of options and it can be a little overwhelming at first, but you don't need to dig that deep to have everything the way you like it. The support is great, and they're actively working on polishing every aspect of the addon, fixing bugs and improving it.

    This is actually a 2-star review, but since I have to express criticism and want this to be acknowledged, it is just a 1-star review.

    Clean Panels got a huge addon. Why making it that complacate? The reason might be to fit users needs. On the other hand, most users just need that:

    A TOOL WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO QUICKLY ADD AND ORGANIZE YOUR ADDONS IN THE N-PANEL.

    This means:

    - option to add / remove an addon in the N-Panel
    - Option to sort them in the N-Panel

    Ok. Done, right? Nope. It is 100 times more complex as it seems when using this addon. You need at first watch / read thewhole tutorial / manual, then, you have to go through all the differrent kinds of settings, understand them and set it up for your needs, which takes quite a lot of time. Then you realize you may have done something wrong and need to figure out what you set up wrong. Then you work with your addon. A short time later, you notice you have a new addon you purchased or need to add another one from your invetory which isn't installed yet. You need then to remember how to set it up and set it up properly without destroying your whole setup. You struggle, because you can't remember how it was set up and what all these settings mean. Then you get a little bit angry, and notice, that you just wanted to... oh, and then you think this might not be a good addon, you need to write a review and blame the developer for not making it easy to use at all, which also takes time, but nobody pays for it if you do that. But you hope maybe even some day it will get REALLY good, whil it is SOMEHOW BAD, allthough it SOMEHOW seems to be good.

    Is that an easy and user-friendly addon? No, in parts no! It takes time, it is complex. You just wanted to add a new addon and sort it in the list. This addon became a time and brain eater, at least from the perspective of a user. This addon needs to be broken down to a minimal level. @developer: I have an important task for you: make it easy. It couold be THAT easy. Maybe just add something like a "simple" N-Panel Setup with sorting, activating options and a quick link to the install page in the settings. Then I have all I need. Currently, I am quitting this addon. It is faster to activate / deactivate the addons in the settings of Blender at the moment.

    Thanks.

      Hi Bernd,

      Thank you so much for taking the time to write a detailed review, and I apologize for the unpleasant experience you had. I want to assure you that we take user feedback very seriously. We're constantly striving to make the addon simpler and more intuitive, which is why we added an option to hide functions that aren't needed to simplify the UI.

      If you're willing to help us improve and make it more user-friendly, please reach out to us through BlenderMarket messages or our Discord server. I promise we'll address your concerns within a week or two(probably in a few days) . We are also considering adding an "Easy UI" mode that only shows the most essential features, but we need your input to determine what those features should be.

      I look forward to hearing from you and making the addon better for everyone. Sorry again for the inconvenience.

      Best regards,
      Amandeep

    I've been using this addon for the last year or more and the moment an incompatibility surfaced on the latest release, Amandeep offered to look at my system on a remote session and very quickly identified a conflict and resolved it for me. He's the real deal as far as providing quality addons that he stands behind and this particular addon is a game changer for deferring addon load times to when you need them as well as for wrangling your organization of addons.

    The addon is fantastic. You can quickly organise your addons, it helps to see if something doesn`t work in other addons and it`s such a time saver. I use it every day. The support is incomparable. He took his time to help me find a rubbish addon which created problems. I couldn`t thank the developer more. It`s mindblowing!!! 🌞

    Really great plugin to organize other blender plugins. Not only that but is also fast to respond if there's an issue, 5 stars! The developer really deserves it.
