What Pinx does
Pinx shows your boards with nothing around them. When you want more than looking, these are the tools. None of them change anything on Pinterest.
Shortlists
Pull the pins that matter into a shortlist — a trip, a room, a client, this week’s dinners — without creating another board on Pinterest.
- Mix pins from any number of boards
- Reorder, rename and remove freely
- Nothing is ever saved back to Pinterest
- Add a pin of your own from its link
Private notes & tags
Write a note on any pin and tag it however you think. Notes and tags live on your phone, never on Pinterest, and search picks them up.
- Notes and #tags on every pin
- Stored on the device only
- Browse all pins with a tag
- Included in on-device search
Search that works offline
Pinx builds a search index on your phone, so you can search titles, descriptions, board names, notes and tags — instantly, even in airplane mode.
- Full-text search on the device
- Titles, descriptions, boards, notes, tags
- Works with no connection
- Nothing you type leaves your phone
Offline boards
Download boards before a flight, a venue visit or a trip to the allotment. Pause and resume, stick to Wi-Fi, and see exactly how much space they use.
- Pro downloads whole boards
- Pause, resume and Wi-Fi only
- Storage screen to tidy up
- Free users keep the pins they can see
Web links
Publish chosen pins as an unlisted web page with no Pinx branding and no Pinterest username. Add captions, edit it later, or revoke it for good.
- Unbranded and unlisted
- Captions you choose; notes stay private
- Edit pins and text any time
- Revoke with one tap
Export
Save pins to Photos, or export a whole board as a .zip containing every image, a browsable index.html and a pins.csv you can open in any spreadsheet.
- Save one or many pins to Photos
- .zip with images
- Browsable index.html
- pins.csv with titles and links
Siri, Spotlight & Shortcuts
“Show my Kitchen board in Pinx.” Boards and shortlists appear in Spotlight, there are actions for the Shortcuts app, and a long-press on the icon jumps to your last board. On Android, boards and shortlists appear as app shortcuts and in your phone’s search.
- Siri phrases for boards and shortlists
- Boards and shortlists in Spotlight
- Shortcuts actions: open board, shortlist, pin, search
- Quick actions on the app icon
Full-screen viewer
Tap a pin to see it full screen with pinch and double-tap zoom, and swipe down to close. Browse boards as a grid or list, sorted the way you like.
- Pinch and double-tap zoom
- Masonry grid with adjustable columns
- Sort by last saved, name or pin count
- Filter to Created or Saved pins
What Pinx can’t do
Pinterest decides what other apps can see. So you know before you download:
- Your own boards
- Pinx opens the boards you created. There’s no home feed, and Pinterest doesn’t let apps open pins on boards you follow.
- Videos play in Pinterest
- Pinterest doesn’t give other apps pin videos, so Pinx shows the cover and a Play in Pinterest button.
- No share button import
- Pinterest’s share button sends an ID the API won’t open. Paste the link to one of your own pins with Add from Link instead.
Open your boards without the rest of Pinterest.
Free for iPhone and Android.
