# Connect your pen to Juno

> Plug the pen into your computer once. After that, Juno finds new recordings, sets the clock and frees up space.

On a computer, use **Chrome** or **Edge**. You connect the pen once, and after that Juno notices it every time you plug it in.

**1. Plug the pen into your computer**

**2. Click Add, then Connect pen**

The first time, Juno shows a short picture guide. Click **Connect pen** there too.

**3. Choose JUNO or USB-DISK**

A window opens. On the left, click **JUNO** or **USB-DISK** (that's your pen), then **Select**. Choose the drive itself, not a folder inside it. The recordings inside may look grey. That's normal.

**4. Allow it**

Your browser asks twice. Click **View files**, then **Edit files**.

Juno only reads your recordings, sets the pen's clock and saves your pen settings on it.

## What Juno does when you plug in the pen

* **Sets the pen's clock**, so your recordings get the right date. You'll see **Pen clock set**.
* **Writes your pen settings** onto the pen. See [Your pen settings](/get-started/pen-settings).
* **Looks for new recordings.** Home shows **Your Juno Pen is connected** with how many new recordings there are.

The pen starts using the new clock and settings when you unplug it.

> [!NOTE]
>
> If Home says **Plugged in? Connect it to see new recordings.**, your browser wants a click before it lets Juno in again. Click **Connect pen**.

## Upload new recordings

Click **Upload the recording** (or **Upload 3 recordings**, for example). Juno skips the recordings it already has. If there's nothing new, you'll see **Everything on your pen is already in Juno.**

## Free up space on your pen

After an upload, Juno asks **Free up space on your pen?**

* **Remove from pen** deletes only the recordings that are safely in Juno.
* **Keep them** leaves everything on the pen.
* **Always do this** is ticked, so Juno remembers your answer. You can change it any time in [Your pen settings](/get-started/pen-settings).

Juno keeps the transcripts and notes. The audio stays in Juno for 90 days, unless you choose **Keep this audio**. See [Audio deletion](/privacy/audio-deletion).

## Safari, iPhone and other browsers

Safari, phones and Firefox can't connect to the pen directly. You can still upload: choose the pen's files with **Add**, like any other audio. See [Upload recordings](/recordings/upload).

While it uploads, you'll see **Uploading takes a few seconds — keep this page open.**

These browsers can't set the pen's clock or free up space for you. To clear the pen by hand:

* **On a Mac:** open JUNO or USB-DISK in Finder, move the recordings to the Trash, then empty the Trash before you unplug the pen. Or select them and press ⌥ ⌘ ⌫ to delete them at once.
* **On an iPhone:** open the **Files** app, tap JUNO or USB-DISK, tap **Select**, choose the recordings, then tap **Delete**.

> [!WARNING]
>
> Only delete recordings you can already see in Juno.
