About Shadcn Dashboard Free
This free version provides a preview of the extensive PRO collection, including 1 fully functional dashboard, 5+ pre-built pages, and a single color scheme, giving developers a taste of professional admin interface design without upfront cost. The kit features production-ready dashboard layouts with common admin patterns like sidebars, navigation, and content areas, responsive page templates for user management, settings, analytics, and more, customizable shadcn/ui components following modern design principles, TypeScript throughout ensuring type safety and better developer experience, and Tailwind CSS for rapid styling customization. The PRO version significantly expands capabilities with 10 complete dashboards covering various use cases, 50+ pages for comprehensive admin functionality, 10+ full web applications demonstrating different architectures, 100+ premium components beyond the basic shadcn/ui set, multiple color schemes allowing brand customization, dark and light mode support for user preference, LTR and RTL support for international applications, and extensive theme customization options.
Unlike building admin dashboards from scratch or using rigid, dated templates, this UI kit provides modern, flexible components that can be adapted to specific needs while maintaining consistent design language. The free version is perfect for indie developers building side projects who need professional admin interfaces, teams evaluating the kit before purchasing PRO, students learning modern web development with production-quality examples, small businesses creating internal tools with limited budgets, and developers who want to understand shadcn/ui patterns through complete dashboard examples. The kit demonstrates how to structure admin applications, implement common dashboard patterns, create reusable component libraries, and design flexible, themeable interfaces.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you ship with Shadcn Dashboard Free.
Shadcn UI Kit is a comprehensive collection of ready-to-use admin dashboards, website templates, and customizable components built with React, TypeScript, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS, offering developers enhanced functionality and design flexibility for modern web applications. It is an open source template in the shadcn.io collection of 215.
Shadcn Dashboard Free is made by Bundui, an independent developer; shadcn.io lists it but did not make it. Bundui has 1 template in the collection, and the author's page lists them.
The listing tags Shadcn Dashboard Free with Next.js, React, SCSS, Tailwind and Dashboard. Those are its categories, not a dependency list: the exact packages and versions are in the repository's package.json.
Yes. The Shadcn Dashboard Free page embeds its live demo from shadcnuikit.com, and links to it so you can open the real deployment before you clone.
The Shadcn Dashboard Free listing was last updated on October 8, 2025. That date is the listing's, not the repository's: check the repository's commits for recent activity.
Clone the repository (git clone https://github.com/bundui/shadcn-dashboard-free), then follow the README. The Shadcn Dashboard Free page shows the usual steps and a terminal block with the commands to copy.
Install dependencies with npm install or pnpm install, then run npm run dev. The README in the Shadcn Dashboard Free repository says which package manager and environment variables it needs.
No. Shadcn Dashboard Free is cloned from its own GitHub repository, so shadcn.io isn't involved. Browsing the page and its live demo need no account either; Pro adds the premium templates, the blocks and the MCP server.
Shadcn Dashboard Free is tagged Next.js, so it deploys wherever a Next.js app does, such as Vercel, a Node.js server or a container. Its README may add steps for its own services.
The Shadcn Dashboard Free listing doesn't record a license. Check the LICENSE file in its repository (https://github.com/bundui/shadcn-dashboard-free), and ask the author if there isn't one.
That depends on Shadcn Dashboard Free's license in its repository, which shadcn.io does not set. Read the LICENSE file before you use it in a client or paid project, and ask the author if it is unclear.
Attribution follows Shadcn Dashboard Free's license. Many permissive licenses ask you to keep the copyright notice and license text in your copy; its LICENSE file says exactly what.
No. The Pro license covers shadcn.io's own Pro code, blocks and premium templates. Shadcn Dashboard Free is the author's project, under the terms in its repository.
Bundui supports Shadcn Dashboard Free, through its GitHub repository: read the docs, open an issue or look for discussions. shadcn.io does not maintain it.
Yes. Once you clone it, Shadcn Dashboard Free is your own code: change the theme, add pages and connect your backend. It uses shadcn/ui, so you can also add more components the same way.
Yes. Components are free with a free account and the blocks are in Pro; both are copied into your project with the shadcn CLI. Check that Shadcn Dashboard Free uses Tailwind CSS and the shadcn/ui setup (a components.json) before you add them, and pick the base library your project already uses.
Yes, with Pro. The shadcn.io MCP server's search_templates tool finds templates by what they are, and returns each one's repository and live demo, so your editor can set up Shadcn Dashboard Free for you. Your files stay on your machine.
The collection has 6 other open source Dashboard templates like Shadcn Dashboard Free, shown at the foot of its page with the ones sharing most categories first. All of them are at /template/category/dashboard.
Bundui has no other templates in the collection.
Yes. The 14 premium templates (Solaris, Reframe Labs, Spherule and Max and more) are built by shadcn.io and come with every Pro plan, if you want maintained code with a design file.
