What is TailTheme?

TailTheme is a frontend application template for React. It combines responsive app shells, dashboards, reusable UI components, design tokens, sample pages, and appearance controls so you can start from an established interface instead of an empty project.

It does not include a production backend. Authentication, billing, and data-heavy screens are integration-ready frontend examples that you connect to your own services.

  • Free MIT starter on GitHub for evaluation
  • Paid React edition with full source and runtime customizer
  • Lifetime updates for paid license holders

What is the difference between TailTheme Free and TailTheme Paid?

TailTheme Free is an MIT-licensed open-source React starter. It includes 3 dashboards (Overview, SaaS, Project), 30+ UI primitives, 4 color presets, light and dark mode, auth flows, and i18n (English, Vietnamese, French).

TailTheme Paid adds the complete React dashboard and industry page library, advanced UI examples, a runtime appearance customizer with 16 curated presets, full source access under the commercial license, and lifetime product updates. Check Pricing for the exact package contents currently included.

Use Free to evaluate. Buy Paid when you need the complete kit and commercial terms.

Where can I try TailTheme before buying?

Use the live demo to inspect dashboards, page coverage, responsive behavior, and theme switching without installing anything.

Clone the free starter to inspect the project structure, tokens, components, and local development workflow before purchasing.

The Demos page on this site maps showcase cards to routes in the live product.

Which frameworks are available?

React is the primary, fully documented edition and is built with Vite and TypeScript.

A React Native template is also under active development, so its code and screen coverage may change in later updates. Check the Pricing page for the exact package status at purchase time. Other framework editions remain roadmap ideas without a committed release date.

What tech stack does the React edition use?

The web edition uses React 19, TypeScript, Vite 6, Tailwind CSS 4, Radix UI primitives, React Router, Lucide icons, Recharts, and i18next.

The paid package adds the full page library, advanced patterns, in-app documentation, mock API mode, and the complete runtime appearance customizer.

How does the runtime theme customizer work?

Appearance is driven by CSS variables (design tokens). Changing a preset updates those variables at runtime so dashboards and components retheme without a rebuild.

Paid TailTheme includes sixteen curated palettes plus controls for radius, font, density, motion, and app layout, with light and dark modes.

The marketing site shows a simplified preset preview; the full customizer lives in the product.

If I start from Free, can I move to Paid later?

Yes. Free is meant for evaluation. When you purchase Paid, use the full package as your source of truth and migrate any product-specific screens you built on top of Free.

Keep using semantic tokens rather than hard-coded colors so the customizer and future presets continue to work after you upgrade.
