Tour Kit Docs — React Onboarding Library

userTourKit is an open-source headless React library for building product tours, onboarding checklists, hints, announcements, and in-app messaging. It ships three packages — a framework-agnostic core under 8KB gzipped, a React component layer under 12KB, and a hints/hotspot layer under 5KB — all under the MIT license. WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility, TypeScript-strict types, and Lighthouse 100 scores come built in. The optional Pro tier adds adoption tracking, analytics, announcements, checklists, media, scheduling, and AI chat as a one-time purchase.

These docs are written for React developers integrating onboarding into a Next.js, Remix, or plain-CRA app, especially teams already on shadcn/ui, Radix, or Base UI. If you're evaluating whether tours are the right pattern at all — versus checklists, in-app messaging, or empty-state guidance — start with the complete React product tour guide and the user onboarding handbook. Otherwise, jump straight to installation below.
