React components for building internal dashboards faster
High-level React components built on Material UI that abstract layout, navigation, and routing to accelerate dashboard and internal tool development.

Toolpad Core is a collection of high-level React components designed to help developers build and maintain dashboards and internal tooling with significantly less boilerplate. Built on top of Material UI, it abstracts common patterns like layout management, navigation, and routing into reusable components.
Targeted at React developers building admin panels, CRUD interfaces, and internal applications, Toolpad Core reduces the time spent on repetitive infrastructure code. The project is currently in beta and maintained under the MIT license by the MUI team, though active development has slowed as maintainers focus on other priorities.
Bootstrap a new project in seconds using npx create-toolpad-app@latest. The framework integrates seamlessly with existing React and Material UI workflows, offering a CRUD dashboard template as a copy-pastable alternative. While Toolpad Studio (a deprecated low-code builder) once extended these components, Toolpad Core remains focused on providing flexible, code-first building blocks for developers who want structure without sacrificing control.
When teams consider Toolpad, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Internal Admin Panel
Launch a fully navigable admin dashboard in hours instead of days by leveraging pre-built layout and routing components.
Data Management Interface
Build CRUD operations for database records using the template and Material UI table components with minimal custom code.
Operations Dashboard
Create a monitoring interface with consistent navigation and layout patterns that integrate with existing React data-fetching logic.
Rapid Prototyping
Validate internal tool concepts quickly using scaffolded projects and Material UI theming without building infrastructure from scratch.
The project is in beta with limited active development. Maintainers are focused on other projects and may not respond promptly to issues. Consider the CRUD dashboard template as an alternative.
Toolpad Studio, the low-code visual builder, has been deprecated. It remains accessible in the toolpad-studio branch and can still be initialized via the CLI with the --studio flag.
Yes. Toolpad Core is built on Material UI, so familiarity with MUI components and theming will help you customize and extend the dashboard components effectively.
Run npx create-toolpad-app@latest to scaffold a new project. The CLI sets up a React application with Toolpad Core components and Material UI pre-configured.
Toolpad Core is in beta. While MIT licensed and functional, limited maintenance means you should evaluate risk tolerance and be prepared to self-support or fork if needed.
