Projects and templates

Your dashboard opens on Overview: the project you have open (or your latest one), your active projects, your credit balance and your plan. Projects lists every project you own: choose one to open it in the editor. On the other dashboard pages, Continue editing returns to the project you have open.

Active and Archived

Switch between the projects you work on and the ones you have archived. Each tab shows how many it holds.

Search projects

Narrows the list by name. Sort by Last updated or by name, and switch between a grid and a list.

Dashboard search

The search box at the top of every dashboard page finds your active projects and the dashboard's pages. Press Ctrl or Cmd + K to jump to it.

From the editor, choose the Appsanic mark at the top left to come back to the dashboard.

1. Choose Create project in the sidebar or on Overview, or New project on Projects.
2. Enter a Project name of up to 100 characters.
3. Choose Create project. The editor opens on a blank mobile app with one empty Home page, ready for your first screen.

Each active project takes one of your plan's project slots, and archived projects don't count. When every slot is used, archive or delete a project, or change your plan, before you create another. Plans, credits and storage compares the plans.

1. Open Templates in the dashboard. Filter by category, or type in Search templates.
2. Choose View template to page through its screens and see what it includes.
3. Check Your project name, then choose Use Template. Appsanic creates the project in your account and opens it in the editor.

The new project is yours to edit, test and export, and it takes a project slot like any other. Template updates apply to new projects only, so your app and your edits stay as they are. Templates come with sample content and local workflows; real bookings, payments and other services need setting up, for example with connectors.

On Free you can open the 5 starter templates: Bloom, Roam, Orbit, Penny and Prism Relay. Pro, Premium and Business open all 26. A locked template is marked Pro and up, and its View plans button opens Plan & billing. Browse the collection on Templates.

Rename

In the editor, choose Rename project beside the project's name, enter a new Project name and choose Save name. You can also change it in Settings under General, where your installed app can have a different display name.

Archive

Choose Archive on the project's row, then Archive project. The project leaves your active list and frees its slot; its data and history stay saved and still use storage. Finish or stop its Sanic AI requests first.

Restore

Under Archived, choose Restore, then Restore project. You need a free project slot. An archived project has to be restored before you can open it.

You can download a project in two ways.

Export, in the dashboard

The download icon on a project's row saves a JSON file with the project's saved document (its pages, components, theme, code, settings and embedded assets), its Sanic AI conversations and a list of its connections. It works for archived projects too.

Download project source, in the editor

Choose Publish at the top right, then Download project source under Project source. Appsanic saves your latest changes, then downloads the design, source code, settings and embedded assets as an Appsanic project file (.appsanic.json). Remote media stay as links.

Both files include everything saved in the project, including public connection details such as a project address or a publishable key. Credentials kept on Appsanic's servers, such as your Expo token, are never included. Neither file is an app you can install, and Appsanic has no import for them yet.

GitHub sync and export of a standalone native project are coming soon.

1. On Projects, choose the bin icon on the project's row.
2. Read what will be removed, type DELETE and choose Delete permanently. Keep project cancels.

Deletion removes the project, its code, conversations and saved connections, stopping its running requests first. Library images used by your other projects are kept. While the clean-up runs, the project shows Deletion requested and can no longer be opened or restored.

Assets

Your account's library of images and media links, organised in folders, with the storage you have used. Theme, fonts and assets covers it.

Usage

The Sanic AI credits you used, by day and by project, over 7, 30 or 90 days counted in UTC, beside your current balance.

Plan & billing

Your plan, credit balances, plan changes and top-ups. Plans, credits and storage explains them.

My account

Your email address, password, appearance, data export and account deletion. See Account and security.
