About Warm Tooltip

Warm Tooltip groups tooltips the way desktop apps do: the first one waits a moment, then while the group is warm its siblings open instantly as you move along the toolbar, so scanning icons is quick.

Warm Tooltip is an overlay component for React 19, styled with Tailwind CSS 4 and animated with Motion. It drops into Next.js, Vite, Remix or Astro through the shadcn CLI as a single file you own.

When to use Warm Tooltip

Editor and formatting toolbars.
Icon-only navigation rails.
Dashboard action bars.
Any row of icon buttons.

How it works

A group context tracks whether a tooltip was open recently, with a delay and cooldown you set. Each tooltip is linked with aria-describedby, opens on focus as well as hover, and skips its entrance animation while the group is warm.

It traps and returns focus correctly, closes on Escape, and is announced to screen readers with the right dialog or menu role. With prefers-reduced-motion on, it holds still or settles instantly instead of animating.

Customizing Warm Tooltip

Every prop is documented in the API reference above with its type and default. The ones you will reach for first are listed here.

The Customize panel next to the preview lets you change delay live, and the Code tab updates to match, so the snippet you copy already carries your values.

WarmTooltipGroup delay (number, default 500).
WarmTooltipGroup cooldown (number, default 400).
WarmTooltip content (ReactNode).
WarmTooltip children (ReactElement).
