About
About Credenza
The MIT-licensed component seamlessly switches from full-screen dialogs on desktop to bottom-drawer sheets on mobile, eliminating the need to manually manage different modal implementations for different viewport sizes. Built with React, TypeScript, shadcn/ui components, Vaul for drawer functionality, and Tailwind CSS, Credenza provides a unified API through composable sub-components including Trigger, Content, Header, Footer, and Body elements.
The component supports both declarative and state-based modal management, integrating perfectly with existing shadcn/ui projects while leveraging Vaul's smooth drawer animations. Perfect for applications requiring modals, forms, confirmations, or content overlays that need to work beautifully on both mobile and desktop without writing responsive logic manually.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you ship with Credenza.
Credenza is a responsive modal component for shadcn/ui that automatically adapts between dialog and drawer layouts based on screen size, providing optimal user experience across all devices. It is an open source template in the shadcn.io collection of 215.
Credenza is made by Redpangilinan, an independent developer; shadcn.io lists it but did not make it. Redpangilinan has 4 templates in the collection, and the author's page lists them.
The listing tags Credenza 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 Credenza page embeds its live demo from credenza.rdev.pro, and links to it so you can open the real deployment before you clone.
The Credenza 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/redpangilinan/credenza), then follow the README. The Credenza 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 Credenza repository says which package manager and environment variables it needs.
No. Credenza 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.
Credenza 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 Credenza listing doesn't record a license. Check the LICENSE file in its repository (https://github.com/redpangilinan/credenza), and ask the author if there isn't one.
That depends on Credenza'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 Credenza'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. Credenza is the author's project, under the terms in its repository.
Redpangilinan supports Credenza, 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, Credenza 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 Credenza 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 Credenza for you. Your files stay on your machine.
The collection has 151 other open source Next.js templates like Credenza, shown at the foot of its page with the ones sharing most categories first. All of them are at /template/category/nextjs.
Redpangilinan has 3 other templates in the collection, including Iotawise, Next Entree and Next Shadcn Landing. 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.
