It is a retargeting tool, with many presets (Mixamo, Unreal, Vroid, MMD, Daz, Auto Rig Pro etc...) to make the task easier. You can add your own preset in the N-panel

FAQ
CurveTools allows you to modify selected keyframes even if they are not visible in the dope sheet editor or graph editor.
Read each tooltip carefully; some actions only affect the current slot, while others affect other animations.
This addon does not support Expy kit preset, you must make changes of the second line (preset file) from "skeleton = bpy.context.object.data.expykit_retarget " to "skeleton = bpy.context.object.data.retarget_retarget"

What's New
5.1.1 July 13th, 2026
Fixed some bugs in "Extract Metarig"
Thanks a lot for this addon I can animate in peace in Blender 5.x
Very usefull addon ! Sadly it doesn't work anymore on version 5.1, do you plan to make it compatible ?
Bro, your addon is awesome! My only issue is with the fingers. Sometimes the fingers get distorted or don't follow the correct positions. Any chance you could make a quick tutorial on the proper way to retarget them? That'd be super helpful!
