# What is "Send to My Secretary" in the Junk Yard?

It's an optional connection for people who run the My Secretary app on the same Mac. Turn on **Send notes to My Secretary** in Settings → Junk Yard, and while My Secretary is running, text scraps get a **Send to My Secretary** button that files them there as a note.

The connection stays on your Mac. Settings shows "My Secretary is responding" when it's reachable; if it says "Not responding", open My Secretary and click **Check**.
