Pinpin is a quiet place for the things you want to keep. Images, links, photos and notes, saved from any app, sorted into your own categories, and found again in a second. No account, no ads, no tracking. SAVE FROM ANYWHERE Tap Share in Safari, Photos, TikTok, Music or any other app and choose Pinpin. Links arrive with their picture, photos are kept as they are, text becomes a note. Paste from the clipboard, take a photo, pick from your library, or dictate a note hands-free. EVERYTHING LANDS IN INBOX New saves wait in Inbox until you sort them, so nothing gets lost. Move one card or many at once, and undo if you change your mind. A GRID THAT FITS YOU Pinch to show two to five columns on iPhone, up to ten on iPad and Mac. Tap a link to open it, a photo to see it full screen, a note to edit it. FIND IT INSTANTLY Search titles, notes, descriptions, URLs, and even the text inside your images. A screenshot of a recipe, a poster, a receipt: Pinpin reads it on your device and makes it searchable. NOTES ON PAPER Quick notes on six paper tints. Links, phone numbers, addresses and dates inside a note are tappable: call, open in Maps, or add to your calendar. CAPTURE WITHOUT OPENING THE APP Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, a Control Center button, the Action button and Shortcuts let you dictate, shoot or paste straight into Pinpin. YOUR PINS ON THE HOME SCREEN The Recent Pins widget shows your latest saves laid out like the app, from every category or just one. The Note widget keeps a note in view on its paper color: your latest one, or any note you pick. SEE IT? FIND IT. Search similar products on Amazon, eBay, Etsy and more from any saved image. YOURS ONLY Everything is stored on your device and synced through your private iCloud across iPhone, iPad and Mac. Works fully offline. Export your whole collection as a zip and import it back any time. ON MAC Keyboard shortcuts, drag and drop, and an optional local AI access that lets assistants like Claude browse your collection and look at your saved images. Off by default, nothing leaves your Mac. Perfect for: • Designers curating visual references • Shoppers saving products to compare • Travelers collecting places and itineraries • Creatives building vision boards and mood boards • Note-takers who want ideas next to their inspiration • Anyone looking for a private, ad-free bookmarking app Your inspiration.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pinpin at none against Ai notes's 1. Pinpin also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). Ai notes's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
