How does Clean Panels accomplish this?

        - Offers 4 ways to access your N-Panel add-on through categories.

                - Drop-downs

                - FOCUS PANEL

                - Pie Menus

                - N-Panel filtering with icons *advanced search and filtering

                (If your add-on are not filtered/enabled your shortcuts may not work)

Why was Clean Panels created?

        - Blender does not offer a simple way to access your add-on as your vertical N-Panel gets filled up. We wanted a way for people to categorize their add-ons for simpler/faster workflow. Our tool allows you to have freedom and choice in how you access your valuable add-ons. Too much time is spent scrolling the N-Panel during creative sessions.

Clean Panels N-Panel filtering with Icons

N-Panel filtering is a more advanced option.

This allows you to create a category and choose your addons BUT if your add-ons are NOT filtered their shortcuts may not work.

We recommend filtering your addons for your workflow needs and then disabling filtering depending on your needs. 

The blue “Filter Addons” button will turn on and off your filtering

Clean Panels Dropdown is selectable in the upper left
You will see your dropdowns change as you choose your categories.
 

When pressing your Pie-Menu shortcut you will be greeted with your Clean Panel categories.
