NeoBrutalism

About NeoBrutalism

NeoBrutalism, formerly RetroUI, is a React and Next.js component library built around a single deliberate aesthetic — hard borders, offset shadows, flat saturated colour — rather than the neutral defaults most kits ship. The open-source layer covers more than 50 components built on Radix and Base UI and installable through the shadcn CLI, so it drops into an existing shadcn project without a migration. The paid layer is where the time savings sit: 158 ready-made blocks, full page templates, themes and a Figma kit that matches the code. The feature that makes it unusual in 2026 is a hosted MCP server, which lets a coding agent in Claude Code, Cursor or Copilot search the registry, preview a component and install it without the developer leaving the editor — the install path is a single shadcn add command against the registry URL. Practical details are handled rather than promised: dark mode, RTL support and a documentation site translated into twenty languages. Licensing is per developer with a team option, and a lifetime tier exists for teams that would rather not carry another annual renewal. The rename from RetroUI is recent, and both names still resolve, with the docs site and registry now published under the NeoBrutalism brand and the original retroui.dev domain still serving as the entry point.
