Asset Inventory 3

Everyone buying the tool from now on will get version 4 for free.

NOMINATED FOR BEST DEVELOPMENT TOOL 2024

Put your asset workflow on steroids and say good-bye to the Package Manager as you know it! Asset Inventory is your ultimate asset companion: a lightning-fast search for assets for your current project. Find content in assets you purchased or downloaded without importing and bring single files in with just a click.

Eliminate the time-consuming task of finding a sound file, a texture or a model you know you purchased but which is hidden inside one of your many Asset Store purchases. The Asset Inventory provides a complete list of all assets you own, including their content.
