Better Auth is a comprehensive, framework-agnostic authentication framework for TypeScript. It empowers developers to build secure, custom authentication systems directly on their backend, without relying on third-party services. Whether simple sign-ins or managing complex enterprise-level access controls, Better Auth delivers robust features and a plugin-ready architecture for future scalability.

Designed to solve long-standing pain points in the TypeScript ecosystem, Better Auth eliminates the need for excessive boilerplate code and fragmented open-source solutions. Since its v1 launch five months ago, it has rapidly become one of the most trusted and widely adopted auth libraries, backed by 13K+ GitHub stars, 350K+ monthly npm downloads, and official recommendations from leading frameworks like Next.js, Nuxt, and Astro.

Backed by a thriving community of 5K+ Discord members and 7K+ followers on X, Better Auth is already in production at YC startups and major open source projects such as Folo, Same, Dokploy, Zero, and OneJS. Now, we’re building our infrastructure layer to enhance further the framework with powerful new capabilities, including a full-featured admin dashboard, bot and fraud detection, global session management, and more—all while staying true to our mission: making self-hosted authentication so seamless and powerful that third-party auth services become unnecessary.

With excellent developer experience (DX), clear documentation, and growing support from influencers like Theo and Dev Ed, Better Auth is the go-to solution for developers who want total control over their authentication logic without sacrificing ease of use or maintainability.
