How to find the last saved file I don't know when I stopped working yesterday, but very likely I saved a file before shutting down my computer.

How can I find the (not system owned) file with the last save timestamp?
Show a finder window sorted by date modified.


Open a File Menu > New Finder window, or  Cmd ⌘   N  
If 'All my Files' isn't the default, View menu > All my Files or  Cmd ⌘   Shift ⇧   F   
Sort as List  , View menu, or  Cmd ⌘   2  
By default this doesn't show, so Right Click the header bar &amp; check Date Modified 

Sort by Date Modified, with newest to the top by clicking that column in the header bar  - 


Your most recently saved file will now be at the top of the list.
