Introduction

Animate UI is a set of React components built with Tailwind CSS and Motion, designed to create fluid and engaging user interfaces. Inspired by shadcn/ui and Magic UI, Animate UI aims to complement these projects by offering a broad range of animated components that are easy to integrate and extend.

Our goal is to continuously grow this collection so that React developers can quickly assemble modern, dynamic interfaces for their applications.

Not a Standard Library, but a Distribution of Components

In the same spirit as shadcn/ui, Animate UI is not a typical “install-from-NPM” library. Instead, we provide a distribution of open-source components that you can copy, modify, and customize according to your needs. This “open code” approach grants you maximum flexibility without having to rely on complex workarounds for styling or business logic adjustments.

Why Animate UI?

1. Open Source: By offering direct access to the source code, we give you total freedom to adapt, modify, and repurpose each component. Rather than wrapping components or overriding styles, you can edit them at their core to fit your unique design system and requirements.

2. Complementary to Magic UI and shadcn/ui: Animate UI is designed to complement Magic UI and shadcn/ui by offering a broad range of animated components that are easy to integrate and extend.

3. Built with Tailwind CSS and Motion: Animate UI is built with Tailwind CSS and Motion, so you can easily integrate it with your existing projects.

4. Fully Animated Components: Animate UI delivers a complete suite of animated components right out of the box. By incorporating Motion at its core, Animate UI makes it easy for anyone—regardless of animation expertise—to build interfaces that feel modern and engaging.
