# Create a Custom App

*Applies to: Custom Apps*

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

**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](https://docs.patchmypc.com/manage/manage-settings/manage-cloud-connections/add-connection#add-an-intune-connection) process.
{% endhint %}

**Note**

If you are using our on-premises Publisher, you should follow the [Publish a Custom App](https://docs.patchmypc.com/patch-my-pc-cloud/custom-apps/publish-a-custom-app) 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](https://docs.patchmypc.com/patch-my-pc-cloud/managed-service-provider-feature/msp-custom-apps) for more details.
