  I copy'n'paste my review of the original Clean Panels addon, which this is a follow up of, here, because this creator really deserves it. Still super satisfied with this addon. Wouldn't even know how to use blender with many addons without this organizer! Keep it up.

  This was my initial review:
  This AddOn is exactly what I needed to organize the growing list of addons which the N-panel couldn't hold any longer. The limits of the N-panel was making it basically impossible to use the addons any longer and another organizer-addon didn't help much in that regard. This addon finally solved this. Glad that I found it!

  Not only was it quick to set up all categories to filter the N-panel, it also has other great options to have even faster ways to access addons. And they speed up the workflow even more!

  Besides the addon being spot on; the quick and adequate service and enthousiasm of the creator is pretty impressive. I had some questions, was facing a little issue here (which was quickly solved because of rapid responses) and had some feature requests.

  The creator was right on it, responded extremely fast (even in the weekend), did some tests and answered/solved things immediately. Also two of the feature requests I had were already realized and will be released in the upcoming version two days from now (!), another will be build in and changed soon! And even yet another request, that wasn't even directly related to the N-panel in the 3d viewport, but related to the other N-panels elsewhere in blender, was also already on the todo list and will be worked on in the near future! Pretty amazing to hear that they are now even working on fixing the same limited-N-panel issue but in the other N-panels! That made my day!
  Very welcome to have a fix for those N-panels too with a growing number of mainly animation addons in the animation panels' N-panel (inside timeline/graph/dopesheet)!

  Great value for money and finally really fixes the biggest bottle neck (and hardest to understand design decision IMO) in blender; the limited N-panel tabs system.

  Thanks a lot for this! This makes using addons fun and 'unlimited' again!

  With 5.3.3 now works fine with Blender 4.2

  Super useful addon and the delayed load is a fantastic feature.

  This is a great product! However, in Blender 4.2, the built-in extensions do not appear in the N-Panel renaming section. Is this something you guys are looking into? I'm guessing they store those elsewhere.

  Hey Christopher, Thank you so much for the review. V5.3.2 is now available with Blender 4.2 compatibility. Please try it out and let us know if everything is working as expected.
  Best,

  I previously owned the regular version (no Pro) and that was great. But Pro is amazing! If you simply have a lot of add-ons, the regular version will probably be enough for you, because you will have perfect order. However, when you use add-ons with a lot of textures or materials, which are often needed only in the final phase of the project, the Pro version is amazing because at the start it loads only the absolutely necessary add-ons (selected by you). The blender then starts immediately!
  What's more, I suggested a fix to the developer and he got to work hard, which deserves great respect.
  I recommend Clean Panels to everyone. Even more so after testing other solutions, I think this is the best.

  Wonderful addon. I had trouble making the focus panel work correctly because I always saved my files with the N panel closed. I wrote the creator and got an immediate fix. It seems you need to open the N panel (to initialize it) and then all is well with the Focus panel! Having the focus panel has made me not hesitate to add new addons I wanted that would have made the N panel a long scroll operation. Also, your auto highlight pro addon I cannot live without in big projects. Thank you so much for your creative efforts.

  I left with version 2 and came back at version 5 Pro. What a difference! It's perfect now in my opinion and don't know what extra's, or improvements, it needs more for future versions.
  Got also great help, when I did not understand some possibilities, so giving 5 stars is the minimum for an AddOn lover like me.

  Does its magic exactly as advertised and the author is lightning quick in reacting to questions and problems - can't be better than this. And yes, the delayed loading feature IS a life saver and well worth the upgrade if you're a hoarder like me and sick of staring at loading screens for ages every time you start the program.

  I believe that the delayed addon loading feature alone is worth as a standalone addon. It is a godsend for people who use some addons constantly, and the rest of the addons just sometimes. It saves many seconds in the inital blender startup and you can always load the rest when you need them. Can't wait for the set addon loading feature so we can precisely load batches of addons for our current workflow needs!
  The organizing and filtering of addons is extensive and highly customizable, but it takes a while to setup properly - so many options!

  Excelent customer support on Discord as well!

  Easy 5 stars :D

  If I have 50 addon before to use your category I need to activate all which has no logic(maybe with some addon settings is ok in order to keep modifications but is not the right way) So this pro is a patch for older one which actually was a ... .Pie menu is working in edit mode only but some addon are working in object mode. There it is a conflict with shortcuts if more addon are activated so if I activated 50 I need to go back to see which one is in conflict ... and more

  Hey Petrea, Thanks for the feedback and sorry about the bad experience you had with the addon. We have mentioned on the product page that the ability to load addons in groups (instead of all at once) will be added in a future version. We are already working on it, and this feature will be available in the next few weeks. I am not 100% sure I understand the issue you mentioned with pie menus, but I think if the issue is only because of a shortcut key conflict, you can easily fix that by changing the shortcut key from the addon preferences. With so many addons out there, it's almost impossible to avoid shortcut conflicts. I would love to help you with these issues, so i request you to please reach out to us using our Discord or Blender Market messages, and I will assist you with it. We can even hop on a remote support session if you want. Sorry again for the hassle. Best.
