Application UI kit
Move as fast as you can with a UI library without compromising on your own vision with modern UI components that are part of your own codebase.
Catalyst is a modern application UI kit built with Tailwind CSS, Headless UI and React, designed and built by the Tailwind CSS team. It's a collection of beautiful, production-ready UI components you drop into your projects alongside your own code that are yours to customize, adapt, and make your own.
Skip all the time you'd spend building your own buttons, form controls, dialogs, tables, dropdown menus, and more and hit the ground running with carefully crafted component APIs that are a delight to use.
Built by experts — you can trust that all of the code is written following Tailwind CSS best practices, because it’s written by the same team who created and maintain the framework.
Easy to customize — everything is styled with utility classes, directly in the component markup. No configuration variables or complex CSS to wrestle with, just open any component in your editor and change whatever you want.
Built with React — well-structured, thoughtfully designed React components, built by experts with years of React experience. Benefit from the strength and maturity of the React ecosystem.
Keyboard accessible — everything we build is keyboard accessible, and we carefully craft the markup to deliver the best screenreader experience we know how.
TypeScript or JavaScript — authored with the latest version of TypeScript by nerds who get way too much satisfaction out of getting the types just right, giving you the best possible developer experience. We also include a plain JavaScript version, just in case TypeScript isn't your thing.
Our UI kits are thoughtfully crafted with the latest and greatest versions of the tools we love so that they are easy to maintain, and fun to actually work with.
Everything you need to know
Tailwind UI products are a one-time purchase, with no recurring subscription. When you purchase any Tailwind UI product, you have access to all of the content in that product forever.
When you purchase any Tailwind UI product, any improvements we make to that product will always be free for anyone who owns that product.
Individual templates: When you buy an individual template, any improvements we make to that template will be available to you as part of your original purchase.
So if we fix a bug or upgrade the template to use the latest version of Tailwind CSS or Next.js, you can download an updated version of the template free of charge.
Any new templates we release are considered separate products, and can be purchased separately.
All-access: When you purchase an all-access license, you get access to every site template available and every component package available today, plus any new templates or component packages we release in the future at no additional cost.
This means that if we add a brand new social media website template or new component package like “Journalism”, access to those products are included in your original purchase, with no upgrade cost.
No, design assets for tools like Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD are not included.
We don't produce high-quality design artifacts as part of our own design and development process, so building these extra resources means we can't spend as much time creating new components and templates in code which is where we believe we can provide the most value.
Our website templates are built using Next.js, so all of the markup is written using React.
Everything in Tailwind UI is designed and developed for the latest version of Tailwind CSS, which is currently Tailwind CSS v4.0.
The components and templates in Tailwind UI are designed to work in the latest, stable releases of all major browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
We don't support Internet Explorer 11.
Unlike most other templates/themes, you don't have to buy a new Tailwind UI license every time you want to use it on a new project.
As long as what you're building is allowed as per the license, you can build as many sites as you want without ever having to buy an additional license.
For more information and examples, read through our license.
Yes! As long what you're building is a custom website developed for a single client, you can totally use components and templates in Tailwind UI to help build it.
The only thing you can't do is use Tailwind UI to build a website or template that is resold to multiple clients.
For more information and examples, read through our license.
Absolutely! Your license gives you permission to build as many of your own projects as you like, whether those are simple public websites or SaaS applications that end users need to pay to access.
As long as what you’re building isn’t a website builder or other tool that customers can use to create their own sites using elements that originate from Tailwind UI, you’re good to go.
For more information and examples, read through our license.
Yep! As long as what you're building is some sort of actual website and not a derivative component library, theme builder, or other product where the primary purpose is clearly to repackage and redistribute our components, it's totally okay for that project to be open source.
For more information and examples of what is and isn't okay, read through our license.
No, you cannot use Tailwind UI to create derivative products like themes, UI kits, page builders, or anything else where you would be repackaging and redistributing our components or templates for someone else to use to build their own sites.
For more information and examples of what is and isn't okay, read through our license.
Tailwind UI is a self-serve product, meaning that while we do offer customer support for things like account management and licensing related concerns, the expectation is that customers have the requisite knowledge of Tailwind CSS, HTML, React, and Vue to use the product successfully.
Because every project is different and the way independently authored pieces of code interact can be complex and time-consuming to understand, we do not offer technical support or consulting.
Tailwind UI customers do get access to a private Discord community where you can ask questions and help others with their questions in return, but we don't offer first-party technical support or consulting here ourselves.
If you're unhappy with your purchase for any reason, email us at support@tailwindui.com within 30 days and we'll refund you in full, no questions asked.
