Customer Reviews

February 2026    ★★★★★    Get this asset 

Get this asset, disable asset auto refresh, enjoy life. I mainly got this asset to improve workflow of working UI toolkit, specifically - authoring uxml and uss files. Working with UI toolkit now almost feels like web dev :)   –  FylmTM 

July 2025    ★★★★★    Great asset 

Tiny import size and does what it describes well. I have been using it in multi monitor setup, with great success  –  pjodev 

Getting Started

1. Open the Rapid Asset Reload window by going to the menu Window > General > Chocolate Dinosaur > Rapid Asset Reload.
2. Drag the window and dock it somewhere:
   
3. That's it! Assets will automatically reload when you change them and Unity doesn't have focus.

Optionally you can go to Preferences and adjust settings such as enabling UI Toolkit support, and setting which file extensions to ignore.
