# Specify App When Opening From Command Line
When you `open` files from the command line
```bash
$ open README.md
```
the default app for that filetype will be used. For me, `README.md` will be
opened in VS Code.
If you have a different app in mind, you can specify it using the `-a` flag:
```bash
$ open README.md -a Notes
```
This will open `README.md` in Mac's Notes app.
See `man open` for more details.
