Submit your tool to Shadcn Templates

Shadcn Templates is a free directory of shadcn/ui templates, component libraries, blocks and tools. Listings are markdown files in a public GitHub repository, so you submit by opening a pull request.

Go to the submit page Dofollow link Free via GitHub pull request

Is Shadcn Templates worth it?

Only relevant if you make something shadcn/ui related, such as a template, theme, component set, registry or developer tool. The link to your demo or site is dofollow and the audience is exactly shadcn users. The catch is the queue: as of November 2026 the last pull requests were merged on May 27, 2026 and about a dozen newer ones are still open, so submit it, then forget about it.

Who should submit to Shadcn Templates?

Suits makers of shadcn/ui templates, boilerplates, component libraries, themes, registries and related developer tools, free or paid. Does not suit general SaaS, AI or mobile products, which fall outside the repository rules, or anyone who needs a listing on a deadline.

What you need before you submit

  • A shadcn/ui related resource
  • A GitHub account to open a pull request
  • A markdown file with the required front matter
  • A hosted avatar image URL and a demo URL

How to submit to Shadcn Templates

  1. Open the shadcnblocks/shadcntemplates repository on GitHub

  3. Fill the front matter (title, author, avatarUrl, demoUrl, description, category) and an overview
  4. Open a pull request and wait for a merge
