Shadcnblocks

What Is Shadcnblocks?

Shadcnblocks is a premium add-on library that layers 682+ 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.
