About
About Cult UI
Built with React, TypeScript, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and Framer Motion, it provides components with built-in animations and micro-interactions that create polished interfaces without requiring animation expertise. The library includes enhanced UI elements like buttons and cards, plus complex patterns like animated navbars, feature sections, testimonial carousels, and landing page blocks for marketing sites and SaaS applications. With full component code ownership, developers can customize animations, adjust styling, and extend functionality while learning from well-crafted examples.
The project offers full-stack Next.js templates at newcult.co and comprehensive documentation at cult-ui.com with live previews and code examples. Perfect for marketing websites, SaaS landing pages, and portfolio sites, Cult UI bridges basic components and custom design work with beautiful, animated elements.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you ship with Cult UI.
Cult UI is an open-source React component library crafted for design engineers, offering accessible and customizable components with sophisticated animations that integrate seamlessly with shadcn/ui through a copy-paste workflow. It is an open source template in the shadcn.io collection of 215.
Cult UI is made by Nolly studio, an independent developer; shadcn.io lists it but did not make it. Nolly studio has 2 templates in the collection, and the author's page lists them.
The listing tags Cult UI 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 Cult UI page embeds its live demo from cult-ui.com, and links to it so you can open the real deployment before you clone.
The Cult 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/nolly-studio/cult-ui), then follow the README. The Cult 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 Cult UI repository says which package manager and environment variables it needs.
No. Cult 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.
Cult 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 Cult UI listing doesn't record a license. Check the LICENSE file in its repository (https://github.com/nolly-studio/cult-ui), and ask the author if there isn't one.
That depends on Cult 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 Cult 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. Cult UI is the author's project, under the terms in its repository.
Nolly studio supports Cult 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, Cult 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 Cult 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 Cult UI for you. Your files stay on your machine.
The collection has 151 other open source Next.js templates like Cult UI, shown at the foot of its page with the ones sharing most categories first. All of them are at /template/category/nextjs.
Nolly studio has 1 other template in the collection, including Cult Directory Template. The author's page lists them all.
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.
