Custom Sidebar for Home Assistant (dashboard card)

Screenshots From the README of elchininet/custom-sidebar.

About

Custom Sidebar is a dashboard plugin that personalises the Home Assistant sidebar per user or per device. It changes how the sidebar looks and behaves for different people or screens, instead of applying one layout everywhere. It is a full refactor of custom-sidebar-v2, which was itself a refactor of the original Custom Sidebar plugin, and both earlier versions are no longer maintained. This version fixes several bugs, improves performance and adds many options for configuring the sidebar. It uses a query selector library for Home Assistant, which makes it less likely to break when the front end changes. It is installed through the Marketplace, which is HACS on version 2026.10 and older, and has its own documentation for configuration.

From the README

Custom HACS plugin that allows you to personalise the Home Assistant's sidebar per user or device basis
This is a refactor of custom-sidebar-v2 by @galloween, which unfortunately is now unmaintained and archived. In its beginning, @galloween's code was a refactor of the original Custom Sidebar plugin by @Villhellm. This version refactored completely @galloween's code, fixing several bugs, improving performance, adding a huge amount of options to configure the sidebar and using home-assistant-query-selector to make it less likely to break with future Home Assistant front-end updates.
