Open-source React framework for building internal tools and admin dashboards.

Visit refine

Refine is an open-source React-based framework and AI-assisted development platform for building internal tools such as admin dashboards, CRM, CMS, HR systems, customer ops and project tools. It connects to existing REST APIs or Supabase projects, and can also be used to start from scratch before a backend is in place.

The platform analyzes the backend to create a blueprint for its AI agents, then lets users develop in a Web IDE where they can preview builds, work with AI or inspect the codebase. Generated apps can be exported as pure React code or published. Enterprise features include self-hosting, identity provider support (Okta, Azure AD, Amazon Cognito, Google Cloud Identity), ACL/RBAC/ABAC access control, audit logging and usage analytics providers.

Refine is aimed at developers and larger organizations with security and compliance needs. Pricing is credit-based with a Starter plan for exploration, a Pro plan that adds the interactive code editor, one-click export and Netlify hosting, and an Enterprise edition with custom terms, SSO, dedicated support and an option to opt out of data training.
