Library, sessions & Compose

Where everything lands

The Library is the app's home screen. Captures land there the moment they finish, newest first, grouped by capture run. Folders in the sidebar organize items; the grid sorts by date, type, or aspect.

The Library: a grid of captures and renders, folders in the sidebar, inspector on the right — The Library · grid, folders, inspector

Select to act

Selecting items surfaces a context toolbar with their verbs: Compose, 3D Mockup, Export, Delete. The inspector shows the selected item's dimensions, format, file size, and export name. Space Quick Looks anything; every item drags out to Finder, Figma, Slack, or anywhere else that takes a file.

Imports

Bring your own images or videos in with ⌘I or the Import button — a Figma export, a phone screenshot, a screen recording. Imports open in the same editors as captures: Compose, Mockup, trim.

Sessions are files

Save Session (⌘S) writes the whole workspace — items, folders, arrangement — to a .plures file anywhere on disk. Double-click it in Finder to reopen.
Open Session (⌘O) replaces the current workspace with the file's.
Each fresh launch starts clean by design. File > Restore Previous Session brings back everything from the last time Plures was open — available exactly once per launch.

2D Compose

Compose opens a capture already staged: framing, padding, and background applied. From there:

Frames — browser chrome and plain framings around the capture.
Backgrounds — gradient presets (dusk, paper, graphite, fog, sage, navy, sunset, violet, sea) or your own, saveable as presets.
Output size — Source keeps the capture's exact pixels with padding inset; platform presets compose onto a fixed canvas (LinkedIn, Instagram, Reel, Slide shapes).
Tall captures — a position slider frames which part of a full-page capture shows.

Saving adds the framed image to the Library as a separate item; the source stays untouched. Compositions reopen in the editor exactly where you left them.

Everything in the Library is a real file you can drag out at any time — including during an expired trial, which leaves the Library read-only but never locked.
