themeselection/materio-mui-nextjs-admin-template-free
An enterprise-grade Next.js admin dashboard template. Made with developer experience first: Next.js v14 (App Router), Material UI (MUI), Tailwind CSS, TypeScript, ESLint, Prettier, VSCode Configs !! 🚀
A free admin dashboard starter built on Next.js 14 App Router with MUI and Tailwind CSS. It's a ThemeSelection product — polished enough to get you past the blank-canvas problem, but clearly a loss-leader designed to sell you the paid version. Good starting point for internal tools if you can live with the feature ceiling.
The tooling setup is genuinely solid — ESLint, Prettier, Stylelint, VSCode snippets, and absolute imports with aliases all configured out of the box, which most free templates skip. MUI theme overrides are broken into individual files per component (button.js, card.js, etc.) rather than one giant object, making them actually navigable. Both TypeScript and JavaScript versions are maintained in parallel, which is useful if your team isn't fully on TS yet. App Router adoption is real, not a thin wrapper around pages/.
The free tier is aggressively stripped — no auth, no RTL, no Redux, no horizontal nav, just 6 pages total. The paid-vs-free comparison table in the README is longer than the feature documentation, which tells you what this repo is really for. MUI and Tailwind running together creates specificity conflicts that will bite you the moment you deviate from the provided components — there's no documented strategy for resolving them. Last meaningful push was March 2026 and it's sitting on Next.js 14 while 15 has been stable for months.
