# Create a Custom App

*Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud Custom Apps*

Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud allows you to create your own *Custom Apps*, which are typically in-house developed.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Important**

If you also intend to deploy apps from our App Catalog in addition to creating Custom Apps, you must establish a connection to your Intune Tenant using the [Add an Intune Connection](/patch-my-pc-cloud/manage/manage-settings/manage-cloud-connections/add-connection.md#add-an-intune-connection) process.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**

If you are using our on-premises Publisher, you should follow the [Publish a Custom App](/patch-my-pc-cloud/custom-apps/publish-a-custom-app.md) process instead.

Likewise, if you are a Managed Service Provider (MSP) wanting to deploy a Custom App to one or more managed companies, see [MSP Custom Apps](/patch-my-pc-cloud/managed-service-provider-feature/msp-custom-apps.md) for more details.
{% endhint %}

To create a PMPC Custom App, you first need to add it to our App Catalog as follows:

1. Sign in to the PMPC Cloud Portal <https://portal.patchmypc.com/>
2. Click **Add App** on the **App Catalog** page.
