Morph Tabs
The indicator's leading edge reaches ahead and the trailing edge catches up, so it stretches and settles into each tab. The panel slides in from the side the tab came from. Controlled or uncontrolled, with icons.

The decision inside it
Two edges, two springs
Each edge of the indicator gets its own spring per move, the one in the direction of travel quicker, which is what makes it stretch, for tabs of any width. It is a real tablist: arrows, Home and End, labelled panels. Reduced motion swaps without travel.
Installation
How you get it
Paste this into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or any coding agent. It installs the file and uses it as it is, instead of writing a new one.
Use Layro's Morph Tabs for this.
Install it: npx shadcn@latest add @layro/morph-tabs
(the @layro registry is set up in components.json, with LAYRO_KEY in .env.local)
Import it from @/components/ui/morph-tabs.
Do not rewrite or restyle it. Pass my data through its props
and keep its built-in states.For the full brief with every prop and the mistakes assistants usually make, use Copy prompt above. Free components install through the @layro registry with your CLI token: see the Namespaced tab.
When to use it
Use Morph Tabs for a few views of the same thing where the switch should feel connected: the pill stretches between tabs and the content slides the same way.
Usage
import { MorphTabs } from "@/components/ui/morph-tabs";
export function OverviewTabs() {
return (
<MorphTabs
tabs={[
{ id: "overview", label: "Overview", content: <p>Three launches this week.</p> },
{ id: "revenue", label: "Revenue", content: <p>$84,200 invoiced in October.</p> },
]}
/>
);
