Why You’ll Love It Lightning-fast saving Save tagged images and URLs to Pinry straight from Photos, Safari, or any app that supports sharing.. Requires API token. Modern, minimalist UI Create new pins via sharing with a single tap. No awkward dialogues and settings. View your pins in a stripped-down gallery that works the way the way you do! Zero-friction setup Configure your Base URL, API Token, and Default Board ID in seconds. Token optional if you only browse public boards. Secure by default Your API token lives safely in a shared Keychain and syncs cleanly between the main app and the share extension. Smart image handling Automatic HEIC to JPEG conversion ensures maximum compatibility with your Pinry server. If you run Pinry, this is the companion app your workflow has been missing—simple, fast, and beautifully tuned for everyday use. ---- Pinstle is an independent client designed for Pinry.
