Organise your takes in the library. Browse, plan, upload, and review all your content in one place, grouped by type and stage.

Before you start

You need at least one saved idea or filmed take. Save ideas from the Ideas feed on mobile or web. Record on mobile, or upload a finished video on the web.

On mobile (browse and review)

  1. Tap the Library tab at the bottom of the app.
  2. You see two sub-tabs at the top: Saved and Filmed. Saved is the default.
  3. On the Saved sub-tab, scroll through three shelves: Hot Takes (ideas from trending news), Slow Burns (evergreen questions), and Your Ideas (topics you typed yourself).

  4. Tap the arrow on any shelf header to open the full list for that type.
  5. Tap any idea tile to open its detail screen. From there you can refilm, check compliance, or move to scheduling.
  6. Tap the Filmed sub-tab to see your recordings. Each card shows the hook line, length, and a red Flagged pill if your brand check found a problem.

  7. Tap a filmed card to open the video detail page. You can save it to your camera roll, refilm, or schedule it from here.
  8. Pull down on the list to refresh. The app holds the spinner for at least half a second, then shows "Refreshed."

On the web (plan, upload, and organise)

  1. Go to tention.app and click Library in the left nav.
  2. At the top you will see a progress strip: SavedFilmedScheduled, with live counts for each stage.

  3. Click a tab pill to switch between stages: Saved (ideas not yet filmed), Filmed (recordings ready to schedule), Scheduled (takes queued to post).

  4. On the Saved tab, each card shows the topic title, type label, how many days since you saved it, and plan note counts (H for Hook, V for Value, A for Action).

  5. To open full detail on any idea, click the card body. A panel slides in from the right. Press Escape or click outside to close it.
  6. To write a plan, click Plan on the card. The Hook, Value, and Action tabs open. Type your notes. They save automatically a second and a half after you stop typing.

  7. To upload a video against a saved idea, click Upload video on the card. When the upload finishes, the idea moves from the Saved tab to the Filmed tab automatically.

  8. On the Filmed tab, each card shows a play button, the hook line, and duration. Click a card to open the detail panel, play the video, or click Schedule to queue it.

  9. On the Scheduled tab, each card shows the go-live date and time, the hook line, and a Flagged pill if needed.
  10. To remove an idea from your library, open its detail panel and use the Remove option in the header. The item is archived. It disappears from your active shelves.

You'll know it worked when

  • The tab badge counts update to reflect your current shelves.
  • A take you uploaded moves from the Saved tab to the Filmed tab, and a toast says "Uploaded, your take is in Filmed."
  • A plan you wrote is visible as H / V / A note counts on the saved card.
  • An archived item disappears from the library and a toast confirms removal.

The thinking's done. Your turn to talk.

One question a day. Filmed with you, checked against your guidelines, posted everywhere.
