# Local project

> Learn how to set up local projects in Requestly

**Local project** in Requestly, like [team projects](https://docs.requestly.com/collaboration/how-to-get-started-with-shared-workspace), is a way to isolate your work. The key difference is that it stores all your data on your local system, ensuring full privacy. Your collections, requests, and environment data stay on your device and can’t be accessed by anyone else

## **How to create a local project**

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the project menu">
    Click on the **current project name** at the top-left corner of the app to open the project dropdown.
