The Designer edition costs $149, paid once and includes the full Figma project, pages, components, responsive pages, icons, illustrations, and images shown in the screens. Purchases include lifetime access to future updates based on the maker’s roadmap, and the team license covers up to 10 members.

react-md is a free React component library for web interfaces, styled with Sass and SCSS. It provides more than 100 components, over 60 hooks, and 40 utilities, including building blocks for fixed headers, navigation panels, and main content areas. Styles follow Material Design and can be configured during compilation with Sass variables or at runtime with Sass functions and mixins. Customized colors are automatically updated to meet a minimum contrast ratio. More complex widgets follow W3C ARIA authoring practices for screen-reader access and keyboard movement. The default theme uses #2196f3 and #ff9100 as primary and secondary colors, with Roboto as the default font. Icons can come from custom icons, SVG components in @react-md/material-icons, or Material Symbols. Installation requires React and ReactDOM v19 or above, plus @react-md/core and sass. Documentation covers npm, pnpm, yarn, and font setup through Fontsource, Google Fonts CDN, or Next.js.
