Blank Slate

Blank Slate

Sometimes you already know what you want. Skip the templates and start building your app exactly the way you envision it.

Overview

Engine Awesome gives you a powerful, flexible platform to build custom business apps. When none of our templates quite fit your needs, starting blank gives you complete control from day one — no pre-built structure to work around.

What You Get

A fully blank workspace with access to all the same tools and features as any other template:

• Tables — Create tables with exactly the fields and data types you need
• Views — Design list, grid, calendar, or kanban views that match your workflow
• Automations — Set up triggers and actions without any pre-existing logic to untangle
• Forms — Build intake forms from scratch for your specific use case
• Permissions — Configure access controls the way you want from the start

Who Is This For?

This option works best if you:

• Have a specific data model in mind that doesn't match existing templates
• Want to migrate from a spreadsheet or another tool with a custom structure
• Are building something unique that doesn't fit a standard category
• Prefer to learn the platform by building from first principles

Getting Started

After signing up, you'll land in a blank workspace. Start by creating your first table and adding the fields you need. From there, build out views, forms, and automations to complete your app.
