Features

All in, nothing extra.

Eight tools for the whole journey from your first button to the finished add-in.

Visual editor

Tabs, groups, buttons via drag & drop — no RibbonX knowledge required.

2,000+ icons

Bootstrap, Office imageMso and your own PNG uploads in the same picker.

XML & VBA stubs

Validated customUI14 code and matching callback subs in a single click.

Snippet library

Save recurring VBA routines once, drop them in anywhere.

Auto-save & undo

Unlimited history per project — never lose a click.

Live linter

Monaco editor checks block balances and imageMso IDs in real time.

1-click export

Download the finished .xlam, install in Excel — done.

Versioning

Snapshots per project — jump back to earlier states whenever you need.

Visual editor

Drag & drop instead of counting XML tags.

Drop tabs, groups and buttons straight onto the ribbon preview. What you see ends up 1:1 in the final .xlam. No intermediate steps, no guesswork.

  • Live preview just like real Excel
  • Snap-to-grid & auto-arrange
  • Group buttons via container drop

Three steps to your add-in.

From an empty project to an installable .xlam — usually under ten minutes.

01

Create a tab

Create a new tab in the editor, name it, off you go. No setup, no templates required.

Voices from practice

What Excel pros say.

Finally no more RibbonX fiddling. The team now rolls out their own tabs without me explaining the XML structure every time.

The icon picker with imageMso right next to Bootstrap is gold. Saves a good half hour of search per add-in and still looks native.

VBA Developer, Consulting
The snippet library makes maintenance trivial. I update standard routines in one place, all add-ins follow.
