Start from working, not from scratch.

Foundationbase is a free library of real, runnable apps. Play with a live demo, download the whole project, and hand it to your AI coding agent — it arrives already knowing its way around.

Try it. Take it. Make it yours.

Everything here is a working app, not a promise of one. From “that looks nice” to “that’s mine now” in about ten minutes.

1 · Play with it first

Every listing has a live demo of the actual product. Click around, add things, break things — it’s your browser, go wild.

2 · Take the whole thing

One zip, the complete project, MIT licensed. Unzip, run npm install and npm run dev, and it’s running — no database, no accounts, no catch.

3 · Introduce it to your agent

Each download ships with CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, and Cursor rules, so Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor knows the project the moment it opens the folder. Just say what you want changed.

Featured foundations

The ones people take home most — small, honest apps with the paperwork your coding agent actually reads.

Maintaining the catalog, the scaffold, and the security bar.

Nothing here is a mockup.

Foundationbase is not an app builder, and it is not a pile of screenshots pretending to be software. Every listing runs, every download works, and every line is yours to change.
