What is Arc UI?

Arc UI is a library of React components and page blocks with motion built in. You install them with the shadcn CLI, or let an AI coding tool build from its AI-readable docs and MCP server. Many components are free, and Arc Pro is a one-time purchase that unlocks every component and block.

Pros: what Arc UI does well

  • Polished animated components
  • Works with shadcn and AI tools via MCP
  • Pro is a one-time payment

Cons: where it falls short

  • Full library needs Pro
  • Built for React and Next.js only

Who Arc UI is for

React developers who want motion-rich components without building animations from scratch.

Who can skip it

Projects not using React.
