Instrumental Components

A modern Rails admin dashboard, built for real-world SaaS apps.

Instrumental Admin gives you a clean, powerful back-office interface for managing users, accounts, products, and more—mobile-ready, extendable, and built entirely in Rails.

For builders who love this stack:

Every serious app needs an admin—but building one from scratch is a grind, and using a clunky gem feels like stepping back in time.

Instrumental Admin gives you a modern, mobile-friendly Rails admin dashboard that looks great, works fast, and grows with your app. View users, manage accounts, handle orders, and even impersonate customers to offer better support—all from a clean interface built with Instrumental Components.

No outdated UI. No magic black boxes. Just real Rails code, ready to customize and extend.

Let’s give your back office the same care you give your product—because admin tools are product, too.

Why use Instrumental Admin?

Complete

A full-featured Rails admin dashboard to manage users, accounts, products, orders, and more—everything a growing SaaS app needs, built in from day one.

Integrated

Built entirely with Instrumental Components and designed to work natively with Turbo, Stimulus, and Tailwind—no separate stack, no surprises.

Ownable

Your admin is part of your app—written in clean, conventional Rails code that’s easy to read (by you and LLMs) and easy to customize, extend, and maintain as your product grows.

Mobile-Ready

Fully responsive and touch-friendly, so you can manage your app (or debug a user issue) from your phone when you're away from the desk.

Support-Ready

Need to help a user fast? Impersonate any account and see exactly what they see—no guessing, no screenshots, no frustration.

Secure

Protected routes, scoped access, and a distinct visual layer make it clear where admin ends and customer-facing app begins—keeping sensitive data safe and separate.
