What shads.app is
shads.app is a visual theme builder for shadcn/ui. Browse, preview, and customize all 122 themes across 34 design systems, then save a theme to your library and install it in your project.
- Tune colors, typography, radius, shadows, focus rings, overlays, and motion without editing component source.
- Preview themes on primitives, component collections, and full page templates.
- All catalog themes are open to explore and customize. The three Free themes — Modern · Claret, Kids' Sketchbook · Original, and Neobrutalism · Original — install unmodified without an account.
- For any other theme, sign in, save it to your library, then install from Get theme with the shadcn CLI, shads CLI, MCP, or an agent prompt.
- Export (CSS, JSON, ZIP, tokens, and Export JSON), the bookmarklet, and the Chrome extension are Pro features.
- Optional hosted AI can draft a theme: three generations per month on Free and up to 500 on Pro.

How it works
A typical workflow takes a few minutes:
- Open the builder at https://shads.app and explore any catalog theme or start from default shadcn tokens.
- Adjust design tokens in the dock or sidebar while the live gallery updates.
- Install one of the three Free themes directly, or sign in and save another theme to your library before installing from Get theme.
- A saved theme activates on its first install. Free includes three lifetime activations; an activated theme installs any number of times, and deleting it does not refund the activation.
- Upgrade to Pro for saved-theme editing, version history, and Export.
Accounts and sign-in
You can explore and customize every theme without an account. Install the three Free-tagged themes without signing in. Sign in to save themes to your library, install other themes, use hosted AI, and create share links.
- Google Sign-In is available for authentication via Neon Auth.
- We do not receive your Google password. See the Privacy Policy for scopes and data use.
- Delete your account anytime from Account settings, or email us to request deletion.
