Mantis is a free, multipage admin and dashboard template built on React and Material UI, created by CodedThemes and distributed through ThemeWagon.
What is Mantis?
Mantis is a free admin and dashboard template built on React and Material UI (MUI), created by CodedThemes and distributed through ThemeWagon. It is a static front-end project: you download the JavaScript source files, open them in your React development environment, and customize the 7+ pre-built pages for your own web app, SaaS dashboard, or admin panel. The template includes a detailed dashboard page, charts UI, two authentication pages, typography and color palette demos, and a collapsible side navigation bar. A live preview is hosted on GitHub Pages, and the download includes all demo images, libraries, and plugins.
Key Features
- MUI + React stack — The template is built with Material UI components and the React JavaScript library, with Google Fonts bundled; no other UI framework is required.
- 7+ pre-built pages — Includes a detailed dashboard, a sample page, two authentication pages, and dedicated pages for typography and color palettes.
- Collapsible side navigation — A sidebar that collapses and a burger menu keep navigation compact on mobile and desktop layouts.
- Charts UI — Data visualization and monitoring components ship as part of the dashboard pages.
- Search filter and breadcrumbs — Ready-to-use UI elements for filtering data and showing navigation context.
- 100% responsive — Layouts adapt from small mobile screens through large desktop displays; the theme is compatible with Android, iPhone, iPad, Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, and Opera.
- SEO-friendly and page-speed-optimized — A clean codebase with fewer cross-browser bugs, intended to reduce bounce rate and improve search ranking.
- Open-source license — Free to use in commercial projects, with lifetime free updates from the author.
