How to Create Your Own Template?
You can turn your own app into a template to be cloned by other Softr users!
You can turn any app you’ve built in Softr into a template that other people can clone into their own workspace, complete with its pages, blocks, styling, connected database, and workflows. Share it with a link or submit it to be featured on Softr Universe.
Why create a template
Templates are a fast way to package and reuse work you’ve already done:
- Speed up client and agency work — build an app once and spin up a fresh copy for each new client instead of starting from scratch.
- Sell your work — package an app as a template and sell it, for example through a Gumroad storefront.
- Generate leads — offer a useful template for free to attract potential customers to your product or service.
- Showcase your no-code expertise — publish polished templates to build a reputation in the community.
Create a template
Open your Applications
In Softr Studio, go to Applications in the left sidebar. Your apps are listed under the All tab.
Open the app's actions menu
Hover over the app you want to turn into a template and click the ⋯ (more actions) button on its card. The menu includes Duplicate, Share, Move, Create a template, View connections, Change thumbnail, and Delete.
Select Create a template
Choose Create a template. The Create a template from this app dialog opens.
Fill in the template details
Complete the fields in the dialog:
- Template name — a short, descriptive name.
- Description — a few sentences describing what the template does.
- Thumbnail — click Upload thumbnail to add a preview image that represents the template.
Create the template
Click Create template. Your new template is saved to your workspace and appears under the Templates tab (see below).
Find and manage your templates
Templates you create live under Applications → Templates. If you haven’t made any yet, you’ll see “You have not created any custom templates.” with a link to learn how.
Share your template
Your template isn’t visible to anyone else automatically. You can distribute it in two ways.
Share your template’s link directly with the people you want to be able to clone it. Anyone who opens the link can duplicate the template into their own Softr workspace.
Submit your template to Softr Universe to have it featured in Softr’s public gallery, where the wider community can discover and clone it.
