About
About Kibo UI
The MIT-licensed project provides a curated collection of advanced UI components including enhanced data tables, multi-step forms, command palettes, and feature-rich input controls that go beyond shadcn/ui's primitive building blocks. Built with Next.js 16, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Radix UI primitives, Kibo demonstrates how to create a custom registry following shadcn/ui's architecture while adding components with integrated functionality like drag-and-drop file uploads, advanced search interfaces, and complex form validation.
The template includes a complete documentation site powered by Fumadocs, showing developers how to build, document, and distribute their own component libraries using the same CLI-based installation approach that makes shadcn/ui popular. Perfect for teams building design systems, developers creating reusable component libraries, or projects requiring sophisticated UI patterns with built-in business logic beyond basic primitives.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you ship with Kibo UI.
Kibo UI is a custom component registry template that extends shadcn/ui's philosophy to more complex, opinionated components requiring business logic and state management. It is an open source template in the shadcn.io collection of 215.
Kibo UI is made by Haydenbleasel, an independent developer; shadcn.io lists it but did not make it. Haydenbleasel has 1 template in the collection, and the author's page lists them.
The listing tags Kibo UI with React. Those are its categories, not a dependency list: the exact packages and versions are in the repository's package.json.
Yes. The Kibo UI page embeds its live demo from kibo-ui.com, and links to it so you can open the real deployment before you clone.
The Kibo UI 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/haydenbleasel/kibo), then follow the README. The Kibo UI 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 Kibo UI repository says which package manager and environment variables it needs.
No. Kibo UI 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.
Follow the deployment notes in the Kibo UI README: the right host depends on its framework and any services it needs. The page's categories show what it is built for.
The Kibo UI listing doesn't record a license. Check the LICENSE file in its repository (https://github.com/haydenbleasel/kibo), and ask the author if there isn't one.
That depends on Kibo UI'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 Kibo UI'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. Kibo UI is the author's project, under the terms in its repository.
Haydenbleasel supports Kibo UI, 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, Kibo UI 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 Kibo UI 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 Kibo UI for you. Your files stay on your machine.
The collection has 171 other open source React templates like Kibo UI, shown at the foot of its page with the ones sharing most categories first. All of them are at /template/category/react.
Haydenbleasel 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.
