# Connect My Mac

> Use your Mac when a task needs local files, apps, or tools.

## 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.

## When to use Connect My Mac

* You need to work with files stored on your Mac
* You need to use an app installed on your Mac
* You need to run a local script, CLI, or development environment
* You want to move work between a cloud Project and your local setup

## Connect a Mac

Open **Settings**, then go to **Connect My Mac**.
