# Library

> Browse, filter, and manage everything you've saved on iOS

## What is the Library?

Your Library is home to everything you've saved. Every snag lives here, sorted by most recently saved first.

Tap **Library** in the bottom navigation bar to access it.

***

## View Modes

Switch between two view layouts using the toggle icon in the top right:

| Mode         | Description                                                                          |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Expanded** | Larger cards with full title, description, and thumbnail. Great for visual browsing. |
| **Compact**  | Tight list view — more snags visible at once. Best when you have a large library.    |

***

## Filter Chips

At the top of your Library, filter chips let you quickly narrow your view by content source. The default order is:

1. **Screengrabs** — image-based saves (saved via the screenshot method)
2. **Favorites** — your starred snags
3. **X (Twitter)** — posts saved from Twitter/X
4. **Instagram** — content from Instagram
5. **Facebook** — content from Facebook
6. **LinkedIn** — content from LinkedIn
7. **YouTube** — videos from YouTube
8. **TikTok** — content from TikTok
9. **Reddit** — posts from Reddit
10. **Snapchat** — content from Snapchat
11. **Pinterest** — content from Pinterest
12. **Threads** — content from Threads
13. **Other** — everything that doesn't match a specific source above

Tap any chip to filter. Tap again to clear.

**To reorder chips:** Long-press any chip and drag it to a new position in the list.

### How a Link Opens

The first time you open a snag, Snag asks how you want to open it:

| Option              | What it does                                                                                                                           |
| ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Open in Snag**    | Opens the link in Snag's built-in browser — easy to return to your library                                                             |
| **Open in Browser** | Opens in Safari                                                                                                                        |
| **Open in App**     | Opens in the native app if installed (e.g. YouTube, Instagram, Reddit, TikTok, Twitter/X, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Yelp, Amazon) |

**Remember my choice** is on by default — Snag saves your preference and uses it every time going forward.

To change your choice for a specific snag later: **long-press the Open button** and the method sheet will appear again.

To reset your saved preference for all snags: go to **Settings → Reset Open Preferences**.
