About

Pinmate is your fast bridge to Pinboard. Share any URL from Safari or other apps, fill in title, description, and tags, then save instantly. Your personal feed, popular links, and network are cached locally, so there's always something to read - even offline. New in 1.6: app language picker (restart required), new/unread summary chips with quick reset, card action buttons, relative time display, and an optional feed preload on login. Highlights: - Share extension: grab links from any app, auto-fill page metadata with a live status indicator, and gate saving until it's ready. - Smart filters: search title/URL/tags, filter unread, favorites, or private; FROM_ tags can open a user's feed or act as normal tags. - iCloud settings sync: optionally store settings (including API token) in iCloud and restore on a new device. - iCloud favorites sync: starred/pinned items are preserved across reinstalls. - Local network: build a local list of people from user feeds, merge it into your Network feed, and manage members in one place (with source badges). - Recent feed: a dedicated tab powered by Pinboard's recent RSS. - Broken-link checker: scan your own feed for 404s with a countdown, intensity (low/mid/high), delete in bulk with stop control and progress. - Metadata checker: pick fields (tags/description/title/all), scope (missing-only or all), intensity, optionally fill placeholders, and update per item or all at once with a countdown and stop control. - HTTPS upgrade tool: scan HTTP bookmarks, check if HTTPS works, upgrade one-by-one or all at once, and optionally delete links without a working HTTPS variant. - Export hub: from the Tools menu export all bookmarks to HTML, JSON, CSV, or Markdown (shared/toread included) with a progress banner and share sheet. - Feed summary: toggle the top card (last refresh + entry count) on/off, applied to all feeds (including user feeds). - Feed chips: new/unread counters in the summary card; tap to reset new items or mark all unread as read. - Card actions: quick unread/private/star buttons plus a menu for edit/share/copy/import. - App language: choose a preferred language in Settings (applies after restart). - User-Agent setting: choose Pinmate or Safari for metadata/tag fetching (used everywhere, including debug analysis). - One-tap pinning: mark favorites or reading list in a flash. - App icon badge: choose none, unread, or starred counts. - Offline cache: personal, popular, and network feeds stay available for quick access. - App group sync: shared links wait in the app, even when you open it later. - macOS: keyboard-friendly feeds with arrow scrolling, Enter to open, and Command-R refresh. - Languages: German, French, Norwegian, Spanish, Japanese, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish, Danish, and Polish. For whom? Pinboard users who want speed, offline convenience, and a polished iOS and macOS experience. Pinmate keeps your bookmark inbox light, your favorites within reach, and makes sharing from iPhone, iPad, and Mac effortless.
