A beautiful component library for building React apps faster
Radix Themes is an open source component library for building modern web apps. It helps you build faster and makes it easy to create beautiful, accessible interfaces that are a breeze to maintain.
Hi everyone 👋
This is Vlad—designer and engineer at @workos, and Radix Themes maker.
Radix Themes is an open source component library for building modern React app:

It helps you build faster and makes it easy to create beautiful, accessible interfaces that are a breeze to maintain.
Companies like Vercel, CodeSandbox, and Supabase, among others, already build their interfaces on top of Radix. We hope that it’s going to be easy to build yours too. Instead of re-inventing common designs and working on the components over and over, we made Radix Themes to help you focus on your product and build faster.
Under the hood, Radix Themes is built with TypeScript, React and vanilla CSS. All design tokens are CSS variables that—if needed—you can tweak, overwrite, or use to build your own components with any styling solution you like. This also means that you can inject your own brand colors, set custom fonts, tweak the space scale, or use the provided tokens in your custom components, creating a coherent look and feel.
The idea to build Radix Themes came while working on our own design system at WorkOS, which is so loved by our engineers and designers alike. Through the experience of maintaining our own dashboard and docs apps, we discovered hundreds of incredible design details and edge cases that we wanted our design system to take care of.
Like with Radix Primitives, we also were obsessed with getting the developer experience right. For every component we asked ourselves—what is the right API? What are the right props and parts? What should, and more importantly, shouldn’t be a part of this component? What API would make the code easy to understand and maintain, and what would put you into a messy situation that could bite when you don’t expect it?
As we built out our own design system at WorkOS, everyone on the team felt like we were onto something—so we used our own, battle-tested component library that serves thousands of users to kickstart Radix Themes.
We hope that you find Radix Themes useful. That’s 45 components, hundreds of carefully crafted variants, a handful of simple, yet powerful primitives for layout, and an extensive token system—all yours.
Would love to get your feedback, questions, and ideas. I'm so excited to see what you all build :)
