Welcome to ZeroStarter

ZeroStarter is a modern, type-safe, and high-performance SaaS starter template built with a monorepo architecture. It provides everything you need to build and ship production-ready SaaS applications with battle-tested patterns and practices.
ZeroStarter is currently in Release Candidate (RC) status. All implemented features are stable and production-ready. We’re actively adding new features and integrations day-by-day.

Type-Safe API Example

ZeroStarter uses Hono RPC to provide end-to-end type safety between backend and frontend:
import { apiClient } from "@/lib/api/client"

// Fully typed request and response
const res = await apiClient.health.$get()
const { data } = await res.json()
// TypeScript knows exactly what 'data' contains!
Interactive API documentation is available at /api/docs powered by Scalar.
