Level up your shadcn/ui components with tweakcn

Published on 2025-07-232 min read

shadcn is a popular open-source UI component library for React, built on radix ui primitives and Tailwind CSS. It provides accessible, unstyled, and highly customizable components you can copy into your project and style as you like.

However, using only the default shadcn themes (neutral, zinc, gray) can make many sites look similar. That’s where tweakcn comes in.

What is tweakcn?

tweakcn is a visual theme editor created by @iamsahaj_xyz that lets you create and apply beautiful, themes to your shadcn/ui components—for both light and dark modes.
