Odoo Chatter Utilities

Stop fighting Odoo’s chatter panel. Get the screen space you need, the layout you prefer, and the shortcuts that save you time — every single day.

Odoo Chatter Utilities is built for consultants, developers, and power users who live in Odoo all day. One extension. Less clutter. More focus.

✨ Why users love it

🔘 Hide & show chatter in a second
Collapse the panel when you need room to think. Bring it back instantly — from the chatter bar, a sleek side rail, or a keyboard shortcut (Alt+Shift+C / ⌘⇧X). Your call, your workflow.

↔️ Your perfect split, every time
Drag the divider between form and chatter until it feels right. Too narrow? It folds away on its own. Come back later — it remembers exactly how you like it.

⚡ Act without reopening chatter
Chatter hidden but need to log a note, send a message, ping WhatsApp, or schedule an activity? Do it straight from the folded icon rail. No extra clicks. No context switching.

📐 Layout that fits how you work
Keep chatter on the side for classic CRM-style forms, or stack it below when that’s clearer. Switch once in settings — stay productive.

📏 Reclaim the full form when you need it
Optional stretch mode gives your form the full width when chatter is out of the way — perfect for dense records, wide tables, and focused data entry.

🛠️ Debug mode that actually stays on
Turn on permanent debug once and forget about it. No more losing ?debug=1 every time Odoo navigates somewhere new. Built for implementers who debug for a living.

🕓 Never lose your place
Jump back to recently opened records in one click. Pin the pages you hit ten times a day. Spend less time hunting, more time doing.

🌐 Works on your Odoo — not just odoo.com
Self-hosted or custom domain? Grant access only to the instances you use. You stay in control.

⚡ Settings in one click
Jump straight to Odoo’s Settings app from the extension popup. Small thing. Big time-saver.

🎨 Support pages, upgraded (Odoo employees)
Cleaner support documentation with styling and navigation enhancements for internal teams.
