Templates
Browse the template gallery and clone one into your own workspace.
On this page
Templates are finished, published Modulify sites you can copy. Cloning one gives you a real project of your own that you then change in chat like any other.
Before you begin
You need to be signed in with a verified email. The Clone in Modulify button is disabled until both are true. A clone becomes a new site in your workspace, so it needs a free site slot on your plan.
Browse the gallery
Open Templates in the sidebar, or go to /dashboard/templates. The page is titled Templates with the line Start from a ready-made template and make it yours.
Cards load as you scroll. Each shows the site thumbnail, the template name and its category.
The Search templates box at the top right matches on name, description and category. Searching writes your term into the page URL, so a search is a link you can share or bookmark. If nothing matches you get an empty state titled No results reading Try a different name or clear search. When the gallery itself is empty it reads No templates with Check back soon for new templates.
The same gallery appears on the dashboard home page under the Modulify templates tab. That tab is selected by default when your workspace has no projects yet.
Look at one before cloning
Clicking a card from the Templates page opens its detail page at /dashboard/templates/<slug>, with a breadcrumb back to Templates.
The detail page shows the template name, its category as a badge, and a live frame of the actual published site rather than a screenshot. Scroll past it for More like this, a row of related templates.
Clicking a card on the dashboard home page opens a preview panel over the page instead, with View full details to jump to the full page.
Clone it
On the detail page, choose Clone in Modulify. The button shows a spinner while the copy is made, then drops you straight into your new project.
Open Original sits next to it and opens the template's live site in a new tab. It only appears for templates that are published.
You can also clone without opening the detail page. The three dots menu on a template card holds:
- Copy publish link, which copies the live address of the template
- Open in new tab, which opens that address
- Clone, which does the same thing as the detail page button
What you get
The clone is a new project in your current workspace named after the template with (Cloned) on the end. It arrives unpublished, with no custom domain, and it is not itself shared or cloneable. It carries the template's pages, files, settings and languages.
Whether the template's database content, uploaded files and environment variables come with it is decided by whoever published the template, in that project's share settings. See Sharing and cloning for the controls on your own side.
If your workspace has no site slot left, the clone stops and you are offered an extra site or an upgrade, exactly as a new project would be.
Read the gallery from code
The same gallery is available as a plain HTTP endpoint, so you can list the templates from a script or from a site of your own.
curl https://api.modulify.ai/templatesThere is nothing to authenticate. No key, no header and no Modulify account are involved, and the request is a GET with no parameters.
The answer uses the standard Modulify envelope, with the templates in data:
{
"success": true,
"message": "Public templates listed successfully.",
"data": [
{
"slug": "cutout-template",
"image": "https://cdn.modulify.ai/previews/6a7f2ab5bb95d1de460e9568.webp",
"name": "Maren Okonkwo",
"category": "portfolio",
"previewLink": "https://cutout-template.modulify.website"
}
],
"code": 200,
"version": "0.0.1414"
}Each entry carries five fields.
| Field | What it holds |
|---|---|
slug |
The template's identifier, and the last part of its detail page URL |
image |
The thumbnail on the CDN, or null when the template has no picture yet |
name |
The name shown on the card |
category |
The category badge, or null when the template has none |
previewLink |
The template's live site, its custom domain when it has one and its free address otherwise |
version is the API build that answered. Treat a call as failed unless the HTTP status is ok and success is true.
The list holds every published template in the gallery, newest first, and it is the same set the Templates page renders. To send someone to one of them, put its slug on the end of /dashboard/templates/.
The response is cached in memory on the API, so a template that has just changed can take a moment to show its new name or thumbnail here.
