About
About UI Beats
This MIT-licensed resource focuses on component-based UI development by offering pre-built, customizable components that simplify and accelerate frontend creation through consistent design patterns, smooth animations via Framer Motion, comprehensive MDX documentation for easy integration, and an active contribution guide enabling community involvement. With 211 stars on GitHub and emphasis on developer experience, UI Beats demonstrates how focused component libraries can streamline development workflows by providing production-ready building blocks rather than requiring developers to build every interface element from scratch.
Perfect for frontend developers seeking animated components without complex implementation, design systems teams establishing animation standards, prototyping workflows requiring rapid UI assembly, or projects where polished, animated interfaces differentiate user experience but limited time and resources prevent custom animation development. The combination of TypeScript for type safety, Tailwind for styling flexibility, and Framer Motion for sophisticated animations creates components that are both developer-friendly and visually engaging, enabling teams to deliver professional, animated UIs without deep animation expertise or extensive development time, making modern UI patterns accessible to developers at all skill levels through well-documented, copy-paste-ready components.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you ship with UI Beats.
UI Beats is an open-source component library built with React, TypeScript (84.9%), Tailwind CSS, Framer Motion, and Next.js, designed to level up UI development by providing reusable, animated components with comprehensive documentation at uibeats.com/docs. It is an open source template in the shadcn.io collection of 215.
UI Beats is made by Nikhils4, an independent developer; shadcn.io lists it but did not make it. Nikhils4 has 1 template in the collection, and the author's page lists them.
The listing tags UI Beats 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 UI Beats page embeds its live demo from uibeats.com, and links to it so you can open the real deployment before you clone.
The UI Beats 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/nikhils4/ui-beats), then follow the README. The UI Beats 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 UI Beats repository says which package manager and environment variables it needs.
No. UI Beats 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.
UI Beats 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 UI Beats listing doesn't record a license. Check the LICENSE file in its repository (https://github.com/nikhils4/ui-beats), and ask the author if there isn't one.
That depends on UI Beats'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 UI Beats'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. UI Beats is the author's project, under the terms in its repository.
Nikhils4 supports UI Beats, 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, UI Beats 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 UI Beats 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 UI Beats for you. Your files stay on your machine.
The collection has 151 other open source Next.js templates like UI Beats, shown at the foot of its page with the ones sharing most categories first. All of them are at /template/category/nextjs.
Nikhils4 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.
