7 Best Svelte Admin Dashboard Templates 2026

SvelteForge Admin dashboard showing user signups and content production charts with a grouped SvelteKit navigation sidebar

Svelte has earned a devoted following among frontend developers who value compiled output, minimal runtime overhead, and a refreshingly simple component model. But when it comes to admin dashboards, the ecosystem is still catching up. Where React and Vue offer hundreds of free admin templates, Svelte has a handful — and that’s being generous. The good news: the templates that do exist tend to be well-built, because the developers choosing Svelte for admin panels are usually doing it deliberately, not just following the crowd.

Quick Picks

We searched GitHub, npm, and every Svelte resource we could find to compile this list of the 7 best Svelte admin dashboard templates available in 2026. If you’re also looking for full-stack SvelteKit starters beyond dashboards, see our collection of SvelteKit templates and starters. The range covers everything from UI-focused Tailwind builds to full-stack dashboards with real authentication, role-based access control, and database integration. Some use Svelte 5 with SvelteKit 2 (the current standard), while others are still on Svelte 3 or 4. We’ve noted the exact versions so you know what you’re getting into.

If you’re an early mover building with Svelte, this is the full landscape. Developers coming from other frameworks might also find our Vue admin dashboard templates guide useful for comparison. Less noise, fewer abandoned repos to wade through, and every entry here actually works.

Free & Open-Source Svelte Admin Dashboards

Svelte’s admin ecosystem is small but genuinely open-source-first: the best options here are MIT-licensed and free to use commercially. They range from copy-paste component blocks to complete full-stack applications with authentication and a database layer already wired up.

1. SvelteForge Admin

⭐ Actively maintained · MIT

SvelteForge Admin dashboard showing user signups and content production charts with a grouped SvelteKit navigation sidebar

SvelteForge Admin is the only template on this list that ships as a complete, working application — not just a UI kit. It includes custom session-based authentication with SHA-256 hashed tokens, Argon2id password hashing, optional Google and GitHub OAuth via Arctic, a three-tier role-based access control system (admin, editor, viewer), and a full content management system with publishing workflows. The database layer uses Drizzle ORM with SQLite in WAL mode, so there’s no external database server to set up — just clone and run.

The dashboard itself is polished: KPI cards with animated counters, interactive area and bar charts powered by LayerChart v2, a user management table with server-side sorting, search, pagination, and CSV/JSON export. It includes a Cmd+K command palette, notification system with real-time badge counts, a database browser for inspecting tables, session management with device tracking, and both dark and light modes. The stack is fully current — Svelte 5 (runes API), SvelteKit 2, Tailwind CSS 4, and shadcn-svelte. Built by the Colorlib team and actively maintained, with a free MIT-licensed lite version available on GitHub.

Editor’s Pick — the most complete free option here. It is a working application rather than a UI kit: authentication, roles, and a database layer are already wired up, so you start from a running admin panel instead of a folder of components.

2. shadcn-svelte Blocks

⭐ 9,000+ GitHub Stars · actively developed

shadcn-svelte Blocks - free copy-paste SvelteKit dashboard block with sidebar, charts and data table

shadcn-svelte is the Svelte port of shadcn/ui, and its Blocks collection is the fastest way to get a real dashboard on screen. Rather than installing a component library as a dependency, you run a single CLI command and the code lands in your project — you own it, and you can edit any part of it. The featured dashboard block ships a collapsible sidebar, an interactive area chart, stat cards with trend indicators, and a sortable data table, alongside separate blocks for login, signup, OTP, and calendar screens.

This is the entry to pick if you want a modern Svelte 5 foundation without inheriting someone else’s architecture. Because the components are copied rather than imported, there is no library upgrade treadmill and no fighting a maintainer’s opinions — the trade-off is that you maintain the code yourself. It pairs naturally with Tailwind CSS, and several other templates on this list (including SvelterApp and SvelteForge) are built on top of it, which tells you how solid the foundation is.

3. Notus Svelte

⭐ 870+ GitHub Stars · last updated 2024

Notus Svelte admin dashboard with traffic, users and sales KPI cards above sales value and total orders charts

Notus Svelte is Creative Tim’s entry into the Svelte ecosystem and the most starred Svelte admin template on GitHub. It ships with over 50 components spanning a full admin dashboard, authentication pages (login, register), landing pages, and profile pages. The component library includes alerts, cards, chart integrations, navigation bars, dropdowns, popovers, tabs, and tooltips — all styled with Tailwind CSS. It’s a solid foundation if you want a pre-built component set without assembling everything from scratch.

The main caveat: Notus Svelte is built on Svelte 3 and hasn’t been updated to Svelte 5. The last commit landed in June 2024, so while the codebase is stable and functional, you’ll be working with an older Svelte version. The MIT license makes it usable for both personal and commercial projects. If you need a quick, good-looking Svelte dashboard and don’t mind Svelte 3, this is the safest bet with the largest community behind it.

4. Flowbite Svelte Admin Dashboard

⭐ 500+ GitHub Stars

Flowbite Svelte admin dashboard showing weekly sales chart, top products table and new product statistics

The most actively maintained Svelte admin dashboard on this list, and the one most likely to stay current. Flowbite Svelte Admin Dashboard runs on Svelte 5, SvelteKit 2, and Tailwind CSS 4 — the latest versions across the board. It’s built on top of Flowbite Svelte, the official Svelte component library from the Flowbite ecosystem, which gives you a rich set of pre-built UI components out of the box. The dashboard includes charts, data tables, widget cards, and a stacked layout variant for different navigation preferences.

What makes this stand out is the depth of included pages: full CRUD layouts for Products and Users, a Settings page, Pricing page, complete authentication flows (sign-in, sign-up, reset password, forgot password, profile lock), plus utility pages like Maintenance and 404/500 error screens. It’s published as an npm package, which means you can scaffold it directly into your project. If you want a Svelte 5 admin dashboard that’s production-ready and backed by an active team, Flowbite is the top pick.

5. Orbitale SvelteAdmin

⭐ 44 GitHub Stars · alpha

Orbitale SvelteAdmin generated CRUD list of books with filters and view, edit and delete row actions

SvelteAdmin isn’t just a dashboard template — it’s a CRUD admin framework. You define your data models and configuration, and it dynamically generates list views, detail pages, and edit forms. This is closer to what Django Admin or Rails Admin does, but built entirely in the Svelte ecosystem. If you’re building an internal tool where you need to manage database records through a web interface, this can save you weeks of building repetitive CRUD pages by hand.

The framework supports multiple data sources including REST APIs, localStorage (useful for prototyping), and RPC calls via Tauri for desktop apps. Built-in features include filtering, pagination, sorting, and multi-language support. The UI is powered by Carbon Design System via carbon-components-svelte, which gives it a professional IBM-style look. It runs on Svelte 4 and SvelteKit 2. The project is in alpha status and uses the LGPL-3.0 license (not MIT — check compatibility with your project). Still, for its intended use case, nothing else in the Svelte ecosystem comes close.

6. SvelterApp

⭐ Newer project

SvelterApp dashboard showing total users, system roles and active sessions with audit log navigation

Don’t let the star count fool you — SvelterApp is one of the most feature-complete Svelte admin dashboards available. This is a full-stack SaaS admin panel with a four-tier role-based access control system (RBAC), multi-tenant organization support, and Auth.js authentication with email/password and verification flows. It includes user management with full CRUD operations, invitation workflows, session tracking, and audit logging with IP tracking. The stack is as modern as it gets: Svelte 5, SvelteKit 2, shadcn-svelte (bits-ui v2), and Tailwind CSS 4.

The internationalization support deserves special mention — it includes English, French, and Arabic translations, with proper RTL layout support for Arabic. The data layer uses PostgreSQL with Prisma ORM, giving you a real database setup instead of mock data. Dark mode is built in. The last commit was January 2026, making it one of the most recently updated templates here. If you’re building a SaaS product with Svelte and need actual multi-tenant auth, role management, and audit trails — not just a pretty dashboard UI — SvelterApp gives you a serious head start. MIT licensed.

Premium Svelte Admin Dashboard Templates

Premium Svelte templates are scarcer than their React or Bootstrap equivalents, and several of the marketplace listings you will find are still on Svelte 4 with update dates from 2023. The one below is current on Svelte 5 and SvelteKit 2, which matters more here than it would in a bigger ecosystem — a stale Svelte template means rewriting components around the runes API yourself.

7. Apex Dashboard — Svelte Edition

💎 Premium · Svelte 5 + SvelteKit 2

Apex Dashboard Svelte Edition showing revenue, users and orders KPI cards with a monthly performance chart and traffic sources donut
SvelteKit 2 + Svelte 5 + Tailwind CSS v4
$69+
Best for: Full-featured SaaS admin panels

Why we like it: 36 pages, a ⌘K command palette, LayerChart data visualization, a live theme customizer, runtime i18n (en/de/fr), a drag-and-drop Kanban board, and a Storybook component library — the most complete premium SvelteKit dashboard available.

Apex Dashboard — Svelte Edition is a production-ready admin template built with SvelteKit 2, Svelte 5 (runes API), TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS v4. It ships with 36 pages including six dashboards (Overview, Analytics, eCommerce, CRM, SaaS, and a Charts gallery), commerce data tables for Orders, Products, Customers, and Invoices, and full app screens like Mail, Chat, Files, Kanban, and Calendar — plus a complete authentication flow and status pages.

Under the hood it uses shadcn-svelte primitives on bits-ui, LayerChart (D3-based) for area, bar, and donut charts, and mode-watcher for dark mode. You also get create/edit/view modals wired to reactive stores, a ⌘K command palette, a live theme customizer (accent presets, corner radius, and density), internationalization in three languages, and a Storybook component library. It is type-checked end to end with zero warnings and static-deploy ready for any host, at the root or a subpath.

Editor’s Pick — the broadest premium Svelte option we could verify on a current stack, with six dashboard variants and the full set of app screens most admin projects end up needing.

Other premium options worth knowing about

Two projects that show up in Svelte admin searches are deliberately not listed above, because neither has a dashboard you can actually look at before committing: svelte-5-dashboard (a Svelte 5 and Supabase starter) and shadcn-svelte-kit Admin Panel ship as repositories with no working demo — the latter’s deployed link resolves to an empty welcome page. Both are MIT-licensed and may still suit you if you are happy to clone and run them locally, but we only feature templates whose interface we could open and verify.

Three more paid Svelte templates come up regularly in searches, and all three carry caveats worth checking before you spend anything. Skote Svelte has the largest sales base of the group, but its listing was last updated in 2023 and it targets Svelte 4 with Bootstrap. Reback Svelte is part of a multi-framework template family and is inexpensive, though its Svelte edition is newer and has a much smaller install base than the vendor’s HTML and React versions. Midone is a well-regarded Tailwind template, but its Svelte build also predates Svelte 5. None of these are bad templates — just verify the last update date and the Svelte version on the listing page before buying, because an abandoned Svelte template costs more to modernise than it costs to buy.

How to Choose a Svelte Admin Dashboard

The Svelte admin market is small enough that the choice usually comes down to four questions:

  • Do you need a running app or a set of components? SvelteForge and SvelterApp give you authentication, roles, and a database layer on day one. shadcn-svelte Blocks and Flowbite give you the UI and leave the backend to you.
  • Are you on Svelte 5? The runes API changed how state works. SvelteForge, shadcn-svelte, and Apex are current; Notus Svelte is still on Svelte 3 and will need reworking.
  • Do you want to own the code? shadcn-svelte copies components into your project instead of installing a dependency — ideal if you expect to customise heavily, more work if you want upstream updates handed to you.
  • Is commercial licensing a factor? Everything in the free section is MIT-licensed and safe for client work. Premium templates buy you breadth and support, not permission.
  • Building from scratch instead? shadcn-svelte and Skeleton are the two component foundations most Svelte admin projects are assembled on — both are actively maintained and Tailwind-based.

Svelte Admin Dashboard FAQ

Is there a free Svelte admin dashboard template?

Yes — most of the Svelte admin ecosystem is open source. SvelteForge Admin, shadcn-svelte Blocks, Flowbite Svelte Admin Dashboard, Notus Svelte, and SvelterApp are all free and MIT-licensed, which means you can use them in commercial and client projects without buying a licence.

Which Svelte admin template works with Svelte 5 and the runes API?

SvelteForge Admin, shadcn-svelte Blocks, SvelterApp, and Apex Dashboard — Svelte Edition are all built on Svelte 5 with SvelteKit 2. Older templates such as Notus Svelte target Svelte 3, so expect to rework component state if you adopt one on a new project.

Why are there so few Svelte admin templates compared with React?

Svelte has a smaller commercial template market because its audience skews toward developers who assemble their own UI from component libraries. The practical effect is a shorter list, but a higher average quality — and a stronger tendency toward MIT licensing than you see in the React or Bootstrap markets.

Should I use SvelteKit or plain Svelte for an admin panel?

SvelteKit for almost every admin panel. You get routing, server-side data loading, form actions, and API endpoints out of the box, which is exactly the shape of an admin application. Nearly every template on this list is built on SvelteKit for that reason.

Can I use these templates with a database and authentication?

Some already include both. SvelteForge Admin ships session-based authentication with an ORM layer, and SvelterApp includes role-based access control and multi-tenant organisations. UI-only options such as Flowbite and shadcn-svelte Blocks leave that to you, which is straightforward to add in SvelteKit with your own auth and database choice.

Are premium Svelte admin templates worth it?

They are worth it when you need breadth quickly — many dashboard variants, dozens of prebuilt app screens, and vendor support. Check the Svelte version and the last update date first: several marketplace Svelte templates still target Svelte 4, and modernising one usually costs more time than the licence saved you.

For a wider look at admin dashboards across all frameworks, our free admin panel templates collection covers Bootstrap, React, Vue, and more, and our SvelteKit templates and starters roundup goes wider than admin panels into marketing sites, SaaS starters, and blog templates. The Svelte admin ecosystem is small, but it is growing in the right direction: the list above spans copy-paste component blocks, full-stack dashboards with authentication and role management, and a premium suite on a current stack. If you are betting on Svelte for your next admin panel you are working with a smaller toolkit than React or Vue developers — but also with less bloat, faster builds, and a community that tends to ship polished work.
