Shadcn Components Animated with Motion (and More!)

Are you looking to supercharge your Shadcn components with fluid, modern animations?

Animate UI is an open-source distribution that animates Shadcn/ui with Motion—while retaining all the power and accessibility of Radix primitives.

Shadcn Animated Components

Animate UI elevates your Shadcn components by bringing smooth transitions and engaging micro-interactions to every element. Whether you’re working with an Accordion, Checkbox, or Dialog, each component feels more intuitive and responsive. The collection is constantly growing, and all components can be copied, customized, and dropped straight into your project.

Beyond Shadcn

In addition to Radix-based primitives, Animate UI offers a variety of other animated elements like text effects, background transitions, and more. These additions help you maintain a cohesive design language across your entire interface, creating a polished, on-trend experience for users.

A Distribution, Not a Library

Animate UI follows the Shadcn CLI approach, meaning you copy source files directly into your codebase rather than installing a package. This gives you full ownership—no hidden overrides or rigid constraints. It also integrates smoothly with other component distributions like Shadcn, Magic UI, and more, enhancing rather than replacing your existing setup.
