# Pool mode

Which pool a run uses: **server** (one shared pool the daemon owns across every
workspace and client) or **proc** (a per-process pool for a single one-off
invocation).

## Example

With the daemon up, every run shares its pool; without it, each run uses its own.

```sh
magus server start
```
