Find an old recording

  1. 1

    Click the folder button at the bottom right of the ShotGlass widget

    Recent Captures opens with everything you have made.

    The floating ShotGlass widget: a camera button in the dark upper half, a video camera button below it, a gear at the bottom left and a folder at the bottom right
    The folder is the small icon at the bottom right.
  2. 2

    Click All, Recordings, or Screenshots to narrow it down

    Then click any project to open it in the editor.

    The Recent Captures window: a search box, All, Recordings and Screenshots tabs, capture cards with thumbnails, and Browse and Open in Finder buttons at the bottom
    Everything you have captured, searchable and one click from the editor.
  3. 3

    Or type in the search box

    It searches the name, the window you captured, and any note you added, so "Safari" finds every recording of a Safari window, whatever the file is called.

Star a project or give it a name

  1. 1

    Hover a project card: buttons appear on it

    Click the star to pin it to the Favourites section at the top.

  2. 2

    Click the note button to label it

    Type whatever helps you find it later. The note shows on the card and search looks inside it, which is what makes it worth doing.

Find the actual files on disk

  1. 1

    Click Open in Finder, then Recordings or Screenshots

    Finder opens the folder ShotGlass saves into.

  2. 2

    Click Refresh if you moved files around outside ShotGlass

    Recent Captures re-reads the folders.

Delete a project

  1. 1

    Hover the card, click the bin, and confirm

    It goes to the macOS Trash, so you can still get it back until you empty it.
