# Starter apps overview

<PageBadges />

Starter apps are maintained application foundations that combine form0 packages with routing,
configuration, styling, and local-development conventions. They are useful when you want a working
application to customize rather than adding a binding to an existing project.

| Starter             | Best for                                                                          | Source                                                                   |

## Recommended creation path

Use [form0-cli](/cli/overview) to create a starter. The CLI guides project and package-manager
selection and produces a normal application repository that you own.

```bash
npm install --global form0-cli
form0 init my-form-app
```

GitHub's **Use this template** button is also available when you explicitly want to create a
repository from the source starter. The CLI remains the canonical onboarding path.

Starter guides explain the application around form0. For package APIs, use the
[React and React Native binding documentation](/bindings/overview). For schema behavior, use the
[Core documentation](/core/overview).

Continue with the guide for your starter:
