# What are the tabs in the Bridge app for?

Bridge has seven tabs:

- **Home** — your connecting code and connection status.
- **Shared Folders** — folders you share with your Mac, each read-only or read-write.
- **Devices** — the Mac you're paired with, with Disconnect and Forget.
- **Activity** — speed, totals, charts and a log of everything sent and received.
- **Junk Yard** — your clipboard scraps, including ones from your Mac.
- **Settings** — clipboard, startup and appearance options.
- **Help** — answers to common questions and **Check for updates**.
