About
About Jolly UI
Written primarily in TypeScript (86.9%), the library combines React Aria's robust accessibility primitives with Tailwind CSS styling and shadcn/ui's design language to deliver components that are both beautiful and fully accessible. Maintained by James Shopland with community contributions, Jolly UI offers comprehensive documentation at jollyui.dev covering component APIs, usage examples, and integration guides. The library focuses on providing high-quality, accessible alternatives to standard UI components, ensuring keyboard navigation, screen reader support, and ARIA compliance work correctly out of the box.
Built with Next.js and leveraging React Aria's proven accessibility foundations, Jolly UI components handle complex interactions like focus management, keyboard shortcuts, and touch interactions while maintaining visual consistency with shadcn/ui projects. Perfect for developers who need shadcn/ui-compatible components with React Aria's superior accessibility features, Jolly UI demonstrates how to build inclusive user interfaces that meet WCAG standards without sacrificing design quality or developer experience.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you ship with Jolly UI.
Jolly UI is an open-source React component library that provides accessible, customizable components built with React Aria and compatible with shadcn/ui, allowing developers to copy and paste production-ready accessible components into their applications. It is an open source template in the shadcn.io collection of 215.
Jolly UI is made by Jolbol1, an independent developer; shadcn.io lists it but did not make it. Jolbol1 has 1 template in the collection, and the author's page lists them.
The listing tags Jolly UI with Next.js, React, Tailwind and React Aria. Those are its categories, not a dependency list: the exact packages and versions are in the repository's package.json.
Yes. The Jolly UI page embeds its live demo from jollyui.dev, and links to it so you can open the real deployment before you clone.
The Jolly 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/jolbol1/jolly-ui), then follow the README. The Jolly 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 Jolly UI repository says which package manager and environment variables it needs.
No. Jolly 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.
Jolly UI 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 Jolly UI listing doesn't record a license. Check the LICENSE file in its repository (https://github.com/jolbol1/jolly-ui), and ask the author if there isn't one.
That depends on Jolly 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 Jolly 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. Jolly UI is the author's project, under the terms in its repository.
Jolbol1 supports Jolly 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, Jolly 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 Jolly 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 Jolly UI for you. Your files stay on your machine.
The collection has 4 other open source React Aria templates like Jolly UI, shown at the foot of its page with the ones sharing most categories first. All of them are at /template/category/react-aria.
Jolbol1 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.
