Introduction
Typesafe From The Start
We made create-t3-app to do one thing: Streamline the setup of typesafe Next.js apps WITHOUT compromising modularity.
After countless projects and many years on this tech, we have lots of opinions and insights. We've done our best to encode them into this CLI.
This is NOT an all-inclusive template. We expect you to bring your own libraries. Check out our other recommendations for things like state management and deployment.
The T3 Stack
The “T3 Stack” is a web development stack made by Theo↗ focused on simplicity, modularity, and full-stack typesafety.
The core pieces are Next.js↗ and TypeScript↗. Tailwind CSS↗ is almost always included. If you’re doing anything resembling backend, tRPC↗, Prisma↗, and NextAuth.js↗ are great additions too.
You may have noticed that there are a… lot of pieces. That’s by design. Swap pieces in and out as you need - this stack is modular at its core :)
So… what is create-t3-app? A template?
Kind of?
create-t3-app
is a CLI built by seasoned T3 Stack devs to streamline the setup of a modular T3 Stack app. This means each piece is optional, and the “template” is generated based on your specific needs.

This is NOT an all-inclusive template. We expect you to bring your own libraries that solve the needs of YOUR application. While we don’t want to prescribe solutions to more specific problems like state management and deployment, we do have some recommendations listed here.
