I’ve never used KiCad… can I create a PCB without having to create a schematic? Can I just design a board with holes where I want them?

suppose i have one of these small ESP32 thingies which drives a peripherial - all neatly on a board. Is there some generic component - that comes with a usb and battery connector - that i can solder onto the power pins of the board so that it becomes portable and rechargable and preferably i can choose what size of LiPo battery i attach?
yes, i'm lazy, don't want to design&build a specific solution.
