What Is Shadcnblocks?

Shadcnblocks is a premium add-on library that layers 958 handcrafted marketing and app-ready blocks on top of the open-source shadcn/ui design system, with new drops arriving at roughly 50 blocks a month.

It extends far beyond raw components by bundling polished templates (e.g., Scalar and Sonic), a full Figma kit, an admin dashboard starter, CMS boilerplates, and even a private registry so you can pull blocks straight into your codebase with npx shadcn add.

Features ✨

• Monthly block drops (~50) keep the library feeling fresh.

• Private Shadcn Registry lets Pro customers install any block via CLI in seconds.

• 10 production-ready templates (Scalar, Sonic, Relative …) for Next.js 15 & Astro 5

• Figma Kit with 300+ block layouts for seamless design-to-code hand-off.

How is this different from the free shadcn/ui Blocks?

shadcn/ui Blocks are open, free building blocks. Shadcnblocks adds a large, curated, continuously-expanded premium catalog, CLI install, and Figma parity.

• Free baseline: Official shadcn/ui Blocks - open source, copy-paste, works across React frameworks.

• Premium layer: Shadcnblocks adds hundreds of extra blocks, private registry installs, lifetime updates, and design assets.

If you only need a handful of sections, the free route might be fine. If you want speed, breadth, and long-term updates, the premium catalog pays for itself.

How to install and theme components?

Copy-paste or run npx shadcn add <block> using the private registry with your key. Blocks inherit your shadcn/ui theme tokens.

• Install: The changelog confirms Private Shadcn Registry support - one-liner CLI pulls blocks with auth. shadcnblocks.com

• Theme: Shadcn Themes integrate, so blocks adopt your tokens for fast light/dark and brand palettes.

Who is it for?

Great for SaaS and marketing sites that want speed and consistency. Skip it if you’re not on React + Tailwind + shadcn/ui or if free blocks already cover your needs.

Pros and Cons

Pros ✅

• Enormous block count (682 and climbing) covers most marketing use-cases out of the box.

• One-click CLI install through the private registry; no manual copy-paste needed.

• Frequent releases (monthly block drops + new templates) mean it rarely feels stale.

• Design assets included 300-block Figma kit for designers who need parity with code.

• Production extras: Admin Kit, Sanity and Payload CMS starters, and Tailwind 4 support out of the gate.

• Growing community & open-source off-shoots (e.g., shadcn-admin-kit)

Cons ⚠️

• Paid tiers only unlock the full library ($149 Pro / $299 Premium)

• Tight coupling to Tailwind CSS + React not plug-and-play for Vue, Angular, etc.

• Version churn (e.g., the Tailwind 4 migration) requires periodic project refactors.

• Not officially affiliated with the core Shadcn UI project.
