Watch: clone a template in seconds

If you don't want to start from a blank prompt, the Templates Gallery has dozens of curated starting points: e-commerce, SaaS dashboards, booking systems, marketplaces, internal tools, and more — each a real, working full-stack project.

How a template becomes your project

  1. Browse the gallery and open a template's live preview to see it running before you commit.
  2. Pick one close to what you need and click Use template. CodeSky forks it into a new project under your account.
  3. Open the Designer and ask the AI to customize it: "change the color scheme to dark navy", "rename Products to Listings", "add a refunds page".

Because the template is a real generated project, every customization is a normal update — same chat, same file tree, same preview.

Choosing the right starting template

  • Match the flows, not just the look. A booking template already has the calendar, slots, and confirmation flow wired.
  • Restyling is easy; rebuilding flows is not. Start from the one whose core screens match yours.
  • Preview two or three before committing — it takes seconds and saves rework.

After you fork one

  • Rename things to your domain, then swap the sample data for your own.
  • Add your brand — primary color, font, logo — in one prompt.
  • Layer on the features the template didn't include, one message at a time.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Picking on looks alone. A pretty template with the wrong data model costs more than a plain one that fits.
  • Trying to strip out half of it at once. Remove features gradually so the app keeps working between edits.

FAQ

Do templates cost credits?

Opening one counts as a normal generation, so you can try templates on the Free plan and reshape them with follow-ups.

Can I make a template completely my own?

Yes — it's just a generated project. Rename, restyle, add and remove features until nothing of the original remains if you like.

Are templates kept up to date?

The gallery is curated and refreshed. Your forked copy is independent — later gallery changes don't affect a project you already started.
