Creating Apps

You can create a Foundry app from the Falcon console’s App Builder or from the Foundry CLI. Both methods produce the same app structure — the difference is in the development experience.

Create an app in the Falcon console

1. Go to Foundry > App manager.
2. Click Create app.
3. Choose one of the following:
   • Start from scratch — Create a blank app and add capabilities manually.
   • Clone an existing app — Copy an installed app’s configuration as a starting point.
   • Use a template — Select a pre-built template from the Content Library.
4. Enter a Name and Description for your app.
5. Click Create.

The App Builder opens with your new app’s capability summary.

Create an app with the Foundry CLI

foundry apps create

You will be prompted for the app name and description. The CLI creates a project directory with:

my-app/
├── manifest.yml          # App manifest (capabilities, metadata)
├── functions/            # Serverless function code
├── ui/                   # UI extension source
└── ...

Non-interactive creation

You can also pass the name and description as flags:

foundry apps create --name "My App" --description "Does useful things"

Clone an existing app

Cloning creates a copy of an installed app’s configuration that you can modify.

Clone in the Falcon console

1. Go to Foundry > App catalog.
2. Find the app you want to clone.
3. Click Clone.
4. Modify the name and description.
5. Click Create.

Clone with the CLI

foundry apps create --clone <app-id>

Or interactively:

foundry apps create

Select Clone an existing app when prompted.

App templates

App templates are pre-built apps in the Content Library. Unlike CrowdStrike Store apps, templates are fully editable — you can inspect and modify their source code, configuration, and capabilities.

Templates are available in the Falcon console under Foundry > Content Library. You can deploy a template directly or clone it as a starting point.
