refine
Alternative to Retool
Refine is a React-based framework for building internal tools and admin panels. It connects to REST API, GraphQL, Supabase, Strapi, and other backends for rapid development of tables, forms, and dashboards.
- Headless design independent of UI libraries, supporting Ant Design, Material UI, and Chakra UI
- Data providers for unified connection to REST, GraphQL, Supabase, Strapi, and Appwrite
- CRUD generator for auto-generating table, form, and detail page code
- Auth providers managing Auth0, Supabase Auth, and custom auth through a unified interface
- Real-time data updates via WebSocket integration
- TypeScript-native with complete type safety for improved developer experience
Built with TypeScript and React, Refine serves as a Retool alternative for React developers who want to build CRUD applications rapidly while maintaining full code control.
