Create your first LOCAL workspace
Do this in the desktop app after you are signed in and have opened the Workspace App.
Steps
- In the file-tree toolbar, choose Create.
- In Create dev workspace, select Local Workspace (Filesystem) → Continue.
- Optionally enter a name.
- Click Browse… and select a base folder on your Mac (an existing folder where the app can create the workspace).
- Click Create dev workspace.
The app creates a new workspace folder under that base (via the local agent). Wait until the workspace appears and opens.

What you should see next
Tips
- Prefer a folder you own (for example under your home directory). Avoid system-protected paths.
- Keep the desktop app running while you use a LOCAL workspace — the local agent must be available.
