Aceternity UI on 21st.dev

All 84 Aceternity components browsable side by side with copy-prompt and CLI install

Tier A · StrongAnimation LibraryComponent LibraryMarketplace21st.dev

The 21st.dev mirror of Manu Arora's Aceternity UI — 84 animated React and Tailwind components built on Motion, with 15.7M views and 66.4K bookmarks on this profile. 21st.dev wraps them in a comparison grid, a copy-the-TSX button, an AI-ready prompt for Cursor/Claude Code, and shadcn CLI install, so you can evaluate several visual treatments before committing to one. The catalog is landing-page heavy: hero effects, backgrounds, card treatments, text animations, and scroll choreography.

Install

npx shadcn@latest add @aceternity/glowing-effect

For an agent

Use this page as the visual index when you know you want an Aceternity effect but not which one — the side-by-side grid with bookmark counts (Glowing Effect 4.2k, Pulse Beams 1.1k, Radar Effect 989) is a better popularity signal than the Aceternity site itself. Install from the canonical registry instead of scraping this page: @aceternity resolves to https://ui.aceternity.com/registry/{name}.json and is already in shadcn's built-in namespace list. Every component pulls motion and most animate on scroll or pointer move, so budget for client JS and add prefers-reduced-motion guards yourself — Aceternity does not ship them.

Why it is here. Aceternity is the reference point for landing-page motion in the shadcn ecosystem, and this profile is the only place all 84 of its components can be compared in one scroll.
