If you’ve built more than one MERN application, you probably know the pain.
Every new project starts the same way:
- Setting up authentication
- Creating an admin dashboard
- Wiring user management
- Structuring APIs
- Adding dark/light mode
You end up spending hours on boilerplate before writing any real business logic.
That frustration is exactly why I built MERN Ease.
🚀 What Is MERN Ease?
MERN Ease is a free, open-source MERN starter kit designed for building real-world, production-ready applications — not just demos or tutorials.
It gives you a clean, scalable foundation so you can focus on features instead of setup.
✨ What You Get Out of the Box
MERN Ease includes:
- Secure authentication
- Admin dashboard
- User management with filters, pagination, and sorting
- Dark and light mode
- Reusable UI components
- Clean, structured APIs
This makes it a good fit for:
- SaaS applications
- Admin panels
- Internal tools
- Dashboards
- Side projects
⚡ Quick Installation
Getting started takes only a few minutes.
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/safytech/mernease
You’ll see two folders:
- client
- server
Install dependencies in both folders:
npm install
Rename .env.sample to .env in both client and server, then update:
- MongoDB connection string
- JWT secret
- API base URL
Start the applications:
client
npm run dev
server
npm run start
Your MERN application will be up and running.

Built this to avoid repeating MERN boilerplate in every project.
Would love feedback from fellow MERN / React devs 👋
