5 Powerful React Component Libraries Built on ShadCN/UI

Everyone’s talking about ShadCN/UI these days. If you’re building in React, there’s a good chance you’ve already tried it—or at least heard of it.

But instead of always building everything from scratch, you can use fully-built component libraries that sit on top of ShadCN. These are polished, production-ready kits that help you ship faster while still keeping that clean, modern feel.

So, in this post, I’ll walk you through five really good libraries that are built on top of ShadCN/UI. These are all open source, well-built, and designed to help you go from idea to UI quickly.

1. Origin UI

This one is super clean. It’s a full-on component library built using ShadCN and Tailwind CSS, and it’s great for dashboards, forms, calendars—basically anything you’d want in an admin panel or internal tool.

You get:

Multiple layout variations
Prebuilt auth, onboarding, navbars
Full responsiveness out of the box
And everything is themeable and accessible

It’s like ShadCN, but with everything already set up so you’re not starting from zero. Super useful for production work.

2. MVP Blocks

This one’s for people building landing pages and marketing sites.

It gives you:

Full hero sections
Pricing tables
Testimonials
Animated CTAs and more

The cool part? It uses Framer Motion, so everything has nice little animations baked in. It’s modular, well-organized, and ideal if you’re trying to build a SaaS homepage quickly without hiring a designer.

3. SHSF UI

This one’s a bit smaller, but super polished.

The guy behind it put a lot of effort into tiny details—micro-interactions, hover effects, and smooth transitions. If you’re building a product where polish matters—like a payment flow, onboarding, or something with fine UX—you’ll love this one.

Also built on ShadCN and Framer Motion. It doesn’t have 100s of components, but the ones it does have feel premium.

4. KIBO UI

This one’s more utility-focused. It has a bunch of really handy components:

Payment forms with credit card validation
Chat interface with typing indicators
Video players
Date pickers and tabs

All made with ShadCN and Tailwind CSS. The code is very readable, and you can pick out just the components you need.

If you’re building tools with more interactivity—think AI tools, video platforms, or internal messaging apps—this one’s worth checking out.

5. Skipper UI

This is probably the most creative one on the list.

Skipper UI leans into design with:

Cursor interactions
Slide-to-confirm buttons
Gradient overlays
Interactive image hovers

It’s kind of a playground, but done well. Not for everyone—but if you’re building a portfolio, creative agency site, or something that needs a little extra visual flair, this is a cool one to explore.

Bonus Tip: Use TweakCN to Theme It All

If you’re using ShadCN (or any of these libraries), check out TweakCN.

It lets you:

Customize the color palette
Export Tailwind tokens
Instantly re-theme your entire UI kit to match your brand

TweakCN + any of these libraries = massive time-saver.

Wrapping Up

ShadCN/UI is a great starting point—but these component libraries take it even further. You can literally drop them into a new project and have 80% of the UI already done.
