Discrete Tabs

A tab switcher that animates the active indicator as it moves between options, used for navigating grouped sections of content.

Discrete Tabs is a real, MIT-licensed React + Tailwind animated component from the open-source Watermelon UI library, in its tabs set. Run the install command above with the shadcn CLI and it drops the component's actual source straight into your project.

It depends on motion/react, so make sure those are installed too.

The code you install is the component's own source — once it's in your repo, it's yours to restyle.
