Adding things
Six doors into the same vault. Whatever comes in gets a thumbnail, a place, and, with the Curator on, a title and tags.
Drag and drop
Drop files or folders from the Finder, a browser or any app onto the grid. Drop them while a collection is open and they join that collection. Duplicates are caught by content, not by name: the same image twice is stored once.
Import…
File → Import Files… or Import Folder…. A folder is counted first, then copied in. Import Installed Fonts pulls every font active on your Mac into the library as specimens.
Paste, ⌘V
An image in the clipboard becomes an item. A URL becomes a link card or an article: Teserra decides from the page, and a toast lets you switch. A file path pastes the file.
Capture, ⌘⇧M
From any app: select an area and it lands in the vault. ⌘⇧W captures a window, ⌘⇧F the whole screen, ⌘⇧S opens Studio: the window on a backdrop, margins, arrows, text, numbered badges, a redaction tool. Every capture also appears in the Captures view, with a five-second card to copy it or file it. The menu bar icon offers the same three captures from any Space.
From the browser
The browser extension, for Chrome, Firefox and Safari, saves a page as a card, an article as clean offline text, or any image or video with an Option-click. Set it up →
From your agents
With Agent access on, Claude Code, Raycast or Cursor can import a URL into a collection for you. Agent access →
