Build a push notification app with AI
Start an iOS and Android app with Capacitor Push Notifications preinstalled, and have the Claude Code Agent wire up registration and notification handling.
A mobile starter with @capacitor/push-notifications in package.json, aimed at Firebase Cloud Messaging. The agent can implement device registration, token handling, and in-app notification UI.

FAQ
Questions about this template
How do I get a native iOS or Android build?
The starter includes a capacitor.config.ts and the Capacitor packages in package.json. You build and preview the web layer in CloudCode, then push to GitHub and run the standard Capacitor commands (build, npx cap sync, then open in Xcode or Android Studio) on a machine with the native toolchains installed.
Do I need Firebase?
The template targets Firebase Cloud Messaging, so you'll need a Firebase project and the platform config files when you build the native apps.
Is the template free to use?
Yes. Templates are available to every CloudCode account, and new accounts get free credits on signup with no card required.
