Kibo UI
shadcn registry of 41 complex components: Gantt, Kanban, editor, sandbox, cropper
Tier S · Best in classRegistryComponent LibraryBlock Collectiongithub.com

Kibo UI is a free shadcn/ui-compatible registry that ships the components shadcn/ui deliberately leaves out - Gantt charts, Kanban boards, a TanStack-backed table, a Sandpack code sandbox, a Tiptap editor, image crop and zoom, a QR code, a contribution graph and more. It wraps headless libraries (Radix, TanStack, dnd-kit, Tiptap) into composable parts that use your existing shadcn CSS variables, so nothing looks bolted on. Installed with its own CLI or the shadcn CLI, and it exposes an MCP server so an AI editor can read its docs directly. Maintained by the shadcnblocks team; the docs site also lists 28 blocks and 110 patterns.

Reach for Kibo before hand-rolling any of the heavy widgets shadcn/ui does not ship - Gantt, Kanban, sortable data table, code sandbox, rich-text editor, image cropper. It composes with shadcn/ui because it reuses the same CSS variables and Radix primitives, so install shadcn first (CSS Variables mode is required) and layer Kibo on top; do not treat it as a replacement. Watch the client-bundle cost: several components pull large deps (TanStack Table, Sandpack, Tiptap, dnd-kit), so import them per route, not into a shared layout. Its MCP endpoint is npx -y mcp-remote https://www.kibo-ui.com/api/mcp/mcp if you want the docs in-editor.
Why it is here. It is the highest-signal answer to the most common shadcn/ui gap - the complex, stateful components teams otherwise rebuild badly. MIT, no paywall, and built by the shadcnblocks team, so it stays close to upstream conventions.
