Refine

React-based framework for rapidly building internal tools, admin panels, and B2B dashboards. Connects to existing REST APIs or headless backends and generates production-ready CRUD interfaces with minimal boilerplate. Outputs pure React code, no proprietary runtime or black box.

Trusted by enterprises for self-hosted deployment and compliance needs. Backed by Y Combinator. Integrates with React Hook Form and offers codemod support for smooth version upgrades. Stands out from low-code builders by producing standard React that developers own and customize.

Core capabilities:

• Headless data layer with adapters for REST, GraphQL, Supabase, Strapi, Hasura, Airtable, Appwrite, and NestJS
• Router-agnostic: works with React Router, Next.js, and Remix
• Auth providers for Auth0, Azure AD, Keycloak, Kinde, and custom OTP flows
• Fine-grained access control: ACL, RBAC, ABAC, plus integrations for Casbin, Cerbos, Permify
• UI-agnostic: Ant Design, Material UI, shadcn/ui, Chakra UI, or custom components
• Audit logs, multitenancy, realtime subscriptions, import/export, and i18n out of the box

Common use cases: admin dashboards, CRM and CMS backends, HR and customer ops tools, DevOps portals. Teams often replace third-party SaaS internal tools with custom Refine apps that plug into existing APIs. Developers get full code access for debugging and deployment to any hosting platform.
