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.

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.
