Key points
- 189 Magic UI records and 120 Aceternity out of 111,985 components as of 1 November 2026.
- The q=copy-paste search returns zero records: no description uses that term.
- Aceternity declares a free licence with attribution and no resale; Magic UI declares no licence.
A copy-paste component site is worth using when the code you paste is complete, typed and free of hidden dependencies. In the EneUI catalogue 189 records come from Magic UI and 120 from Aceternity as of 1 November 2026, out of 111,985 components in total.
What makes a copy-paste catalogue useful
- The code arrives complete: no file to guess, no missing import.
- The dependencies are declared, with a version and an alternative without animation.
- Every component ships a focus state and keyboard handling.
- The licence sits on the page, not only in the site footer.
- You can delete the component without breaking five other files.
Four catalogues with four contracts
| Catalogue | Records | Declared licence | What you must check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Magic UI | 189 | not declared in the catalogue | animation dependencies and duplicated files |
| Aceternity UI | 120 | free with attribution, no resale | the required attribution and the Pro components |
| Componentry | 57 | unknown, community registry | the source repository of each block |
| shadcn/ui | 61 | MIT | which props survive the copy |
Three questions before you paste
- Does the component work without animation, or does the content depend on an effect?
- How many dependencies does it bring, and how many are already in the bundle?
- If the source changes, how do you find out?
The command that shows the gap in search
curl "https://ui.eneawork.it/api/vault/items?q=copy-paste&limit=5"The limit
The limit of copy-paste is updates: after the copy the component is yours, and none of the 189 Magic UI records warns you when the source changes. With 1,472 libraries indexed, maintenance stays your job, not the catalogue's.

Magic UI with 189 records and Aceternity with 120 as of 1 November 2026: the choice depends on the licence, not the count.

Can I use Aceternity components in a commercial product?
The declared licence is free with attribution and no resale, so read the terms before you publish.
What do I check after pasting a component?
Dependencies, props, focus and keyboard states, and whether the code duplicates what you already have.
Who updates the component after the copy?
Nobody: maintenance is yours from the moment you paste it, and no Magic UI record warns you about changes.
