About
About Lingua Time
This innovative component parses flexible datetime expressions, provides a user-friendly datetime picker interface as fallback, integrates seamlessly with react-hook-form for validation, and supports various input styles and configurations for different use cases. The natural language parsing capability transforms datetime selection from a multi-click, error-prone process into a simple typing action that matches how people naturally think and communicate about time. Perfect for scheduling applications where users book appointments or meetings, task management tools requiring deadline setting, event planning platforms handling complex timing, or any form where datetime input friction causes user abandonment and reduced completion rates.
With straightforward installation via shadcn CLI and comprehensive TypeScript support (95.9% of codebase), Lingua Time demonstrates how rethinking traditional UI patterns with natural language processing can dramatically improve user experience. The component's compatibility with popular form libraries ensures easy integration into existing applications, while the intelligent parsing handles various datetime formats and expressions, reducing validation errors and support requests caused by confused users struggling with conventional datetime pickers that force unnatural interaction patterns.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you ship with Lingua Time.
Lingua Time is a smart datetime picker component built with Next.js, TypeScript, React, Tailwind CSS, and shadcn/ui, understanding natural language input like "next Tuesday at 3pm" to eliminate the tedium of clicking through traditional date pickers. It is an open source template in the shadcn.io collection of 215.
Lingua Time is made by Nainglinnkhant, an independent developer; shadcn.io lists it but did not make it. Nainglinnkhant has 1 template in the collection, and the author's page lists them.
The listing tags Lingua Time with Next.js, React and Tailwind. Those are its categories, not a dependency list: the exact packages and versions are in the repository's package.json.
Yes. The Lingua Time page embeds its live demo from linguatime.nainglinnkhant.com, and links to it so you can open the real deployment before you clone.
The Lingua Time 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/nainglinnkhant/lingua-time), then follow the README. The Lingua Time 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 Lingua Time repository says which package manager and environment variables it needs.
No. Lingua Time 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.
Lingua Time 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 Lingua Time listing doesn't record a license. Check the LICENSE file in its repository (https://github.com/nainglinnkhant/lingua-time), and ask the author if there isn't one.
That depends on Lingua Time'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 Lingua Time'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. Lingua Time is the author's project, under the terms in its repository.
Nainglinnkhant supports Lingua Time, 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, Lingua Time 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 Lingua Time 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 Lingua Time for you. Your files stay on your machine.
The collection has 151 other open source Next.js templates like Lingua Time, shown at the foot of its page with the ones sharing most categories first. All of them are at /template/category/nextjs.
Nainglinnkhant 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.
