Drag the corner to open

Shadcn Animation components are interactive, physics-inspired motion effects built with React, Motion, and Tailwind CSS. They respond directly to the user's hand, like dragging the corner of a book cover to peel it open, instead of simply playing on a timer.

What is Shadcn Animation?

Shadcn Animation is a collection of motion components that react to the user instead of looping on their own. You grab, drag, or tap an element and it follows your input, then settles with natural easing.

Think of it like a physical object on the screen that responds to touch. It adds depth and delight without a heavy animation library or canvas setup.

Why Developers Use Shadcn Animation

Gesture-driven motion is hard to get right. Pointer tracking, spring physics, and reduced motion fallbacks all take time to build and test. Shadcn Animation handles those details so you can focus on the experience.

Developers prefer Shadcn Animation because it:

Feels natural thanks to physics-based springs
Works with mouse, trackpad, pen, and touch out of the box
Needs only Motion and Tailwind CSS, with no canvas or WebGL
Is easy to customize using Tailwind CSS
Respects reduced motion preferences by default

Key Features

Direct Manipulation: Motion follows the pointer in real time, then settles with natural easing when released.
Mouse and Touch: One pointer-based implementation for desktop and mobile.
Theme Aware: Built on semantic design tokens for seamless light and dark mode.
Accessible: Keyboard support, focus states, and reduced motion handling built in.

Tips for Using Shadcn Animation

Use one interactive animation per view so it stays a highlight
Leave enough space around the element for the full gesture
Test on touch devices to confirm the drag feels responsive
Keep surrounding content static so the motion stands out

Common Uses of Animation

Product and book cover reveals
Interactive hero sections and landing pages
Portfolio and showcase cards
Onboarding and empty state delights

Easy to Integrate with Any Components

Shadcn Animation works smoothly with other components:

Place it inside a Shadcn Card to build interactive showcase tiles.
Pair it with Shadcn Button for a clear call to action next to the motion.
Add Shadcn Badge to label new or featured items.
