How do I access Oculus library from my computer rather than my Gear VR?

I have no problem accessing the library while using my Gear VR headset with my Samsung Galaxy S8.  But when I sign in to Oculus from my Macbook I don't see any way to access the library.  Can I order content from my computer?  I don't want to have to go to the trouble of mounting my phone in the headset every time I want to order or check something.  Also, there is no Oculus icon on my Mac desktop, although I set up my account on the Mac.  I access the website by signing in using the search engine, then the webpage shows my username in the upper right-hand corner, but no store or library access from this page.

It appears there is no Oculus app for Mac (?).

Gear VR and Rift content are separate and are not compatible with each other. Please be sure you are purchasing content for the correct platform. Thanks.

You can also access the library from the regular Oculus app, no need to enter VR mode.

Excuse my ignorance here - new at this!  It's confusing discerning the difference between Oculus and Gear VR content.  Is the available content of the Gear different?  When I go to the link https://www.oculus.com/experiences/gear-vr/ movies are shown, but I can not select them.

OK, but on the Gear VR Experience webpage, content appears that can be selected with the cursor - all except for the movies.  The movie items do not allow selection (the pointer doesn't change to a hand) like all the other items do.  
does this mean these are not compatible with the VR?
