## 💎 About Shadcn UI Kit

[Shadcn UI Kit](https://shadcnuikit.com) is a collection of admin dashboards, website templates, UI blocks, components and real-world examples built on top of [shadcn/ui](https://ui.shadcn.com), Tailwind CSS and React. It is made for developers and teams who want to ship production-ready interfaces without rebuilding the same tables, forms, charts and landing page sections for every project.

The full kit includes 16 admin dashboards, 17 complete web applications, 40+ extra pages, 1100+ components, blocks and examples, animated illustrations, premium website templates, a Theme Generator, a Page Builder and an MCP server for AI code editors. Every component supports both **Radix UI** and **Base UI** primitives, so it fits into any shadcn/ui project, whichever primitive library you use.

This repository is the **free and open source edition** of Shadcn UI Kit. It contains the free components, blocks and examples from the kit, a free admin dashboard template and the full source code of the browsing site, so you can run everything locally, read the code and copy what you need into your own project.

- **A shadcn registry** for every free item, so you can install any block or component into your project with a single command.

## 🧩 Examples and illustrations

### Real-world shadcn/ui examples

[Shadcn UI examples](https://shadcnuikit.com/examples) are complete, real-world UI patterns built from shadcn/ui components, ready to drop into a product. Instead of isolated primitives you get finished pieces of interface: blog cards, chat bubbles, payment method cards, product cards and product lists, social media posts, review cards, stat cards, task cards and welcome cards, ecommerce, line and project management charts, date picker use cases, user dropdown menus, authentication forms, switch cards and theme switchers. Every example has a live preview, a responsive viewport switcher and its full source code, and can be installed with the shadcn CLI.

The free edition includes the review card examples and the date picker use cases. The full collection of 70 examples is available on [shadcnuikit.com/examples](https://shadcnuikit.com/examples).

### Animated illustrations for shadcn/ui

[Shadcn UI Kit illustrations](https://shadcnuikit.com/illustrations) are animated React illustrations and motion components built with Tailwind CSS and Motion. They follow your shadcn/ui theme colors automatically, so they match light mode, dark mode and any custom theme without editing a single SVG. Use them in hero sections, feature sections, empty states, onboarding screens and product tours to explain a feature visually instead of with a static screenshot. Each illustration is a regular React component that you can install through the registry and customize like the rest of your code.

The illustrations are part of [Shadcn UI Kit Pro](https://shadcnuikit.com/pricing).

> The Theme Generator, Page Builder, illustrations, premium blocks, admin dashboards and templates are part of [Shadcn UI Kit Pro](https://shadcnuikit.com/pricing). This repository contains the free edition.
