About
About Shadcn Timeline
Built with React, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Framer Motion for smooth animations, this component follows shadcn/ui's copy-and-paste philosophy, allowing developers to integrate it directly into their projects with full customization control rather than installing it as a locked dependency. The component features comprehensive ARIA attributes for screen reader accessibility, responsive design that adapts seamlessly to mobile and desktop viewports, multiple size and color variants for different use cases, smooth entrance and transition animations powered by Framer Motion, loading and error states for async data scenarios, TypeScript definitions for type safety, and SSR compatibility for Next.js applications. The timeline supports custom icons and status indicators for different event types, configurable date formatting to match your locale preferences, and flexible configuration through props and Tailwind classes.
Use cases include displaying company history and milestone timelines on about pages, tracking order or delivery status in e-commerce applications, showing project progress and phase completion in dashboards, visualizing user activity feeds and notification histories, and presenting educational content or tutorial steps in sequential format. The component is documented in Storybook with live examples, making it easy to understand all configuration options and see the component in action before implementing it in your project.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you ship with Shadcn Timeline.
The shadcn Timeline is a fully accessible, customizable, and reusable React timeline component built on top of shadcn/ui, perfect for displaying chronological events, project milestones, order tracking, or any sequential information in an elegant vertical format. It is an open source template in the shadcn.io collection of 215.
Shadcn Timeline is made by Timdehof, an independent developer; shadcn.io lists it but did not make it. Timdehof has 1 template in the collection, and the author's page lists them.
The listing tags Shadcn Timeline with Next.js, React, Tailwind and UI Kits & Component Libraries. Those are its categories, not a dependency list: the exact packages and versions are in the repository's package.json.
Yes. The Shadcn Timeline page embeds its live demo from timdehof.github.io/shadcn-timeline, and links to it so you can open the real deployment before you clone.
The Shadcn Timeline 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/timDeHof/shadcn-timeline), then follow the README. The Shadcn Timeline 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 Shadcn Timeline repository says which package manager and environment variables it needs.
No. Shadcn Timeline 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.
Shadcn Timeline 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 Shadcn Timeline listing doesn't record a license. Check the LICENSE file in its repository (https://github.com/timDeHof/shadcn-timeline), and ask the author if there isn't one.
That depends on Shadcn Timeline'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 Shadcn Timeline'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. Shadcn Timeline is the author's project, under the terms in its repository.
Timdehof supports Shadcn Timeline, 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, Shadcn Timeline 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 Shadcn Timeline 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 Shadcn Timeline for you. Your files stay on your machine.
The collection has 19 other open source UI Kits & Component Libraries templates like Shadcn Timeline, shown at the foot of its page with the ones sharing most categories first. All of them are at /template/category/ui-kits-and-component-libraries.
Timdehof 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.
