# Create a Blocks App

<blockquote class="caution">

**Editor compatibility**

Wix Blocks apps aren't supported in the Wix Harmony editor. Existing Blocks apps remain available for purchase on the Wix App Market for Wix Editor and Wix Studio sites. To learn more, see [About Wix Harmony and Blocks](https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/develop-your-app/frameworks/wix-blocks/about-wix-harmony-and-blocks.md).

</blockquote>

<blockquote class="important">

Wix Blocks is open to all Wix Studio users. If you haven't created a Wix Studio account yet, [here's how to join](https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-studio-switching-to-wix-studio). If you want to create a Blocks app in a Studio workspace where you are not the owner, make sure to get **Co-owner** permissions from the owner.

You can start building an app with a ready-made template or build from scratch, depending on your project's needs.

## Start with a template

1. Open the [Custom Apps](https://manage.wix.com/account/custom-apps) section in your Wix Studio workspace.
2. Click **Create New App**.
3. Click **Start with a template**.
4. On the left side, under **Browse by framework**, select **Wix Blocks**.
5. Select a template that best suits your needs and then click **Use Template**.

Wix Blocks opens with a new app based on the selected template.
