refine is an open-source, headless React framework for rapidly building enterprise web applications. It eliminates many repetitive tasks like ➡️ CRUD operations ➡️ State management ➡️ Routing ➡️ Authentication ➡️ Access Control ➡️ i18n and saves days of development time. So far, thousands of great projects have been built by 15,000+ monthly active refine developers. Use cases are ranging from admin panels, dashboards, and internal tools to B2B solutions and complex SaaS interfaces. refine is backed by a strong community featuring 16K GitHub stars ⭐️, 180+ contributors and 2,500 Discord members. Thanks to it's unique "Headless UI" approach, refine works with any custom design. It has also ready-made integrations with 4 most popular UI frameworks: Ant Design, Material UI, Chakra UI and Mantine. refine is totally backend agnostic and it can connect to 15+ backend services out-of-the-box, incl. custom REST & GraphQL API's. With refine, developers always have 100% control over their projects as they build, style and deploy the way they like.
Refine is an open-source-inspired platform that enables enterprise-grade internal tools and B2B apps built with AI, offering a React-based production workflow and an emphasis on security, self-hosting, and integration with existing data sources.
Users connect to their own data sources (REST APIs or Supabase), then refine analyzes the backend to create a blueprint for AI agents. Developers use a web IDE to vibe-code or inspect code, and can download pure React code or publish to their preferred environment. The product emphasizes self-hosting, fine-grained access control, open architecture, audit logging, usage analytics, and enterprise features like SSO, private support channels, and tailored security options.
Who it’s for: Enterprise teams and developers building internal tools (admin dashboards, CRM, CMS, HR systems, customer ops, project tools) within larger organizations that require security, self-hosting, and scalable collaboration.
YC/industry backing noted; pricing page with multiple tiers; enterprise features and self-hosting imply traction and scaling focus.
