SPEED UP AND SIMPLIFY YOUR WORKFLOW

Shy Filters is a toolbar designed for easy isolating group of layers. Bunch of ready-made filters can help you to get focus on essential part of your project.


HOW IT WORKS?

Clicking on filter hides unwanted layers using their "shy" property. Shy layers are also locked to be sure that no accidental change will happen for them.

CUSTOMIZE IT

Toolbar is fully responsive and customizable. You can hide rare used buttons or show them on second, less exposed toolbar (with another instance of the script).
