Features: - Save text and links quickly - Dictate notes with voice input - Import text, Markdown, and JSON files - Save from other apps with the share extension - Open URL pins in the browser - Tap links inside notes from the detail view - Use a widget to resurface saved items - Copy, edit, share, or delete saved pins PinLog is intentionally small: no feeds, no folders to manage, and no complicated note system.
