About daisyUI
daisyUI is a free, open source plugin for Tailwind CSS. It adds named classes for common interface parts, such as buttons, cards and toggles, so your markup is shorter and easier to read.
What it does
Instead of writing many utility classes for every button or card, you add one semantic class and then adjust it with Tailwind utilities when needed. The components are pure CSS and do not depend on JavaScript. Themes and semantic color names such as primary and accent apply across the whole project.
Key features
- Named classes for buttons, cards and forms
- Built-in themes with semantic color names
- Pure CSS with no JavaScript needed
- Tailwind utilities still available for tweaks
- Official MCP server for AI coding tools
Who it's for
Developers who already use Tailwind CSS and want to write less repetitive markup. It also suits teams that want a consistent theme across many pages without building a component set from scratch.
Pricing and good to know
The plugin is free and open source under the MIT license. It needs a Tailwind CSS project to run, so it is not a standalone stylesheet. Teams that customize heavily should check how the theme settings map to their own design tokens.
