What is Connect My Mac?

Most tasks can run inside Happycapy’s cloud sandbox. Use Connect My Mac when a task needs files on your Mac, local apps, or tools you already have installed. Once connected, Happycapy can run tasks on your Mac and connect your cloud Project with your local environment. You can connect more than one Mac and disconnect a device at any time.
