Helm — Free Bootstrap 6 Admin Dashboard Template
Helm is a free, premium Bootstrap 6 admin dashboard template for SaaS back-offices, internal tools, e-commerce administration and analytics panels. Eight pages — overview, analytics, orders, forms, profile, settings, sign-in and 404 — sharing one shell with a sidebar that collapses to an icon rail and becomes a Drawer on phones.
There is no chart library. The line and area charts are inline SVG, the bar charts are flex rows, and the donut is a single conic-gradient — because a dashboard template that depends on Chart.js is really a Chart.js template, and the first thing most people do is swap it for whatever their stack already uses. Everything else leans on components that genuinely did not exist in Bootstrap 5: the mobile navigation is a native <dialog> Drawer, the forms page exercises Combobox, Datepicker, the OTP input and the password Strength meter, and the orders table uses the new .table-stacked so it reflows to labelled blocks on a phone rather than scrolling sideways.

Before you use it
Bootstrap 6 has not been released. npm i bootstrap@6 does not work yet and the framework is still changing, so treat this as a head start on learning v6 rather than a foundation for a production site you need to maintain today. The framework is vendored into the template at a pinned commit, so nothing here can drift. It targets evergreen browsers only — Safari 16.4+, Chrome 111+ and Firefox 113+ — because Bootstrap 6 is built on oklch() and color-mix().
