AutoRepair
Tekla
Interacting with a workbench will repair all items it can from your inventory.
Is there a Valheim mod to repair all items automatically?
Yes, though it is one click rather than none. AutoRepair repairs everything it can from your inventory when you interact with a workbench, instead of making you press the repair hammer once per item. It deliberately keeps vanilla's rule that a low-level station cannot repair higher-tier gear.
Mods that do this

The details
AutoRepair's behaviour is worth stating precisely, because the name oversells it slightly. Its README describes repairing all eligible items from your inventory when you interact with a workbench — the trigger is the interaction, not walking into range. What it removes is the per-item clicking, which over a long session is most of the tedium.
It does not loosen the station requirements, and that is intentional. The README notes the repair checks are unmodified, so a workbench still will not repair gear that needs a higher-tier station. If something did not repair, the usual reason is that you are standing at the wrong station rather than that the mod failed.
Check its age before you commit to it. AutoRepair was last updated in 2021 and still has over half a million downloads, but several major Valheim updates have shipped since. Test it on a throwaway profile against your current game version, and treat the last-updated date as the thing to verify rather than the download count.
Recycle_N_Reclaim solves the adjacent waste problem rather than the durability one. It adds a Reclaim tab and button to the crafting menu, and can also be used directly from your inventory, returning the resources an item was made from. Its README lists compatibility with VNEI, Jewelcrafting, EpicLoot, AzuExtendedPlayerInventory and Auga, so enchanted or gem-bearing items are handled rather than destroyed.
Recycle_N_Reclaim has a multiplayer behaviour you should know before adding it to a server: it version-checks against itself, and if it is installed on the server it will kick clients that do not have it. It syncs its configuration to clients through ServerSync, and a file watcher pushes changes made directly to the server's config file. AutoRepair predates that pattern, so decide per player whether they run it.

Related questions
- Does repairing cost materials in Valheim?
- No. Vanilla repair is free and unlimited at a station that can service the item; it only costs clicks. An auto-repair mod removes the clicking, not a cost.
- Can it repair items in chests?
- AutoRepair's README describes repairing from your inventory, not from nearby containers. Move gear out of the chest before interacting with the station.
- Why did some of my gear not repair?
- Most often the station is too low tier for that item. AutoRepair deliberately leaves vanilla's repair checks in place, so a workbench still cannot service equipment that requires a forge or a higher-level station.
