# Find your recordings, guides and screenshots

The library keeps everything you make on three shelves: Recordings, Guides and Screenshots. Search, sort, and pick up the last thing you edited.

Where to find it: Library › Recordings, Guides, Screenshots

**In the Mac app:**

Choose **Open Library** from the PointerCam icon in the menu bar, or press `⌘L` while PointerCam is in front.

**In the Chrome extension:**

Open [pointercam.com/library](https://pointercam.com/library) in Chrome, or press **Open library** in the popup.

## The shelves

- **Recordings**: Your takes and the videos you brought in. Each card plays under your pointer, so you can see what is in it without opening it.
- **Guides**: Your step-by-step guides. Hovering a card walks through its steps.
- **Screenshots**: Screenshots you took or brought in, and frames you saved from a video.

Switch shelves with the pill at the top. The number beside each name is how many things are on it.

## Finding something

- Type in the search field at the top, or press `⌘K`. If nothing on this shelf matches, the library says which other shelf has a match.
- Sort with the **Order** chip: Newest first, Oldest first, By name, Longest first.
- **Pick up where you left off** shows the last thing you edited, one click from opening it.
- A card marked **Editing** is the one you edited last.

## Make something new

The column on the left starts something new from the library: a recording, a guide, a screenshot, or a file you bring in. Which ones it offers depends on whether you use the Mac app or Chrome.

> **Note:** Everything in the library is stored on this computer. Nothing is uploaded, and there is no account.
