Add Inbox is a zero-config CLI tool that helps you integrate the Novu Inbox Component into your React or Next.js project with a single command. No boilerplate, no setup headaches—just a clean, working notification UI out of the box.
This project was inspired by the great experience of using shadcn/ui — clean, composable components you drop into your app. But while shadcn gives you beautiful UI primitives, it’s up to you to wire in the logic.
I wanted something different for notifications — a component that’s not just pretty, but actually works out of the box.
That’s why I've built Add Inbox: a CLI that scaffolds Novu’s stateful component directly into your project — fully functional, connected, and ready to go.
Would love to hear how others are approaching notification UIs. Are you building your own? Using headless APIs? Trying to standardize across projects?
Drop your thoughts or wishlist — I want to build what’s actually useful.
