Enhance Unity's Inspector with color-coded components, favorites, search, presets, and notes. Organize your workflow, find things faster, and keep your project tidy. Editor-only, zero runtime cost. 100% Render Pipeline Agnostic Inspector Pro Lite is an editor-only tool that works identically on Built-in, URP, HDRP, and custom SRPs. No shaders, no materials, no runtime code. Uses only Unity's built-in EditorGUI - automatically stripped from builds with zero performance impact. Your render pipeline choice doesn't matter. Inspector Pro Lite Inspector Pro Lite transforms Unity's default Inspector into a powerful, organized workspace. Whether you're building games, apps, VR experiences, or simulations, this tool helps you work faster and stay organized. Visual Organization Color-Coded Component Headers Instantly identify component types at a glance. Physics components (Rigidbody, Colliders, Joints) appear in blue. Rendering components (MeshRenderer, Light, Camera) in green. Audio in orange. UI in pink. Animation in yellow. Custom scripts in gray. No more scrolling through walls of identical-looking components. Enhanced Separators Beautiful 3D gradient headers with shadow effects replace Unity's flat component headers. Each component stands out with its category color, making complex GameObjects with many components easy to navigate. Custom Color Rules Define your own coloring system. Match components by: - Contains - "Controller" matches PlayerController, EnemyController, etc. - StartsWith - "UI" matches UIManager, UIButton, etc. - EndsWith - "Manager" matches GameManager, AudioManager, etc. - Exact - Match specific component names - Namespace - Color entire namespaces (great for third-party assets) Productivity Tools Component Favorites Star frequently-used components with one click. Access your favorites from a dedicated window and add them to any GameObject instantly. Perfect for components you use repeatedly like Rigidbody, AudioSource, or your custom scripts. Component Search Find any component or property instantly with Ctrl+Shift+F. Search by component name, property name, or browse by category. Click to ping or add components directly from search results. Quick Add Palette Press Ctrl+Alt+A to open a fast component palette. Your favorites appear at the top, followed by recently-used components. Search any component type and add it with one click. Much faster than navigating Unity's Add Component menu. Component Presets Save component configurations and apply them to other objects. Set up your perfect Rigidbody settings once, save as preset, and apply to any Rigidbody in your project. Great for maintaining consistency across your game. Component Notes Add comments directly to components. Document why settings are configured a certain way, leave reminders for yourself, or communicate with team members. Notes appear right below the component header.

Toggle between meters, centimeters, feet, inches, or define custom units. Quick Settings Window Access all features from Tools > Inspector Pro Lite > Quick Settings or Ctrl+Shift+I. Toggle features on/off instantly with visual feedback. One-click access to full settings. Project Settings Integration All settings accessible from Edit > Project Settings > Inspector Pro Lite. Configure colors, enable/disable features, manage custom rules, and import/export settings as JSON for team sharing. Customization Everything is customizable: - Category colors for each component type - Color intensity and opacity - Gradient headers on/off - Enhanced separators on/off - Individual feature toggles - Custom color rules - Mesh analyzer units - Keyboard shortcuts Who Is This For? Solo Developers Stay organized as your project grows. Find components faster, save time with presets, and keep documentation right in the Inspector. Teams Share settings via JSON export. Use component notes for communication. Maintain consistency with presets. Color-code by namespace to identify different team members' code. Asset Developers Make your assets more professional with organized inspectors. Use groups, tabs, and validation to create polished editor experiences. Anyone Working on Complex Projects The more components you have, the more time Inspector Pro Lite saves. Stop scrolling, start finding.
