# Manage applications

> Create, inspect, update, enable, and disable Pushctl applications.

An application is the boundary for platform credentials, application tokens, installations, notifications, and delivery history.

## Create an application

Owners and admins can select **New application** from the applications page. Enter a name and an IANA timezone such as `Europe/Amsterdam`.

The first application uses guided onboarding, where you can configure platforms, provider credentials, and a token together. You can also skip those steps and configure them later.

## Application dashboard

The overview shows:

* Configured platform count
* Active installation count
* Total notification count
* Provider credential health
* The five most recent notifications

## Update or disable an application

Open **Application settings** to change the name, reporting timezone, or status.

<Warning>
  A disabled application cannot queue notifications. Re-enable it before sending from the dashboard or API.
</Warning>

<Info>
  One application can include both iOS and Android. Use the same external user ID on both platforms to reach all of that user's eligible installations.
