The Pinport guide

Getting started

Start with a link you care about. Everything else can wait.

Prefer a guided setup?

Open setup to import bookmarks, try tags, and install the extension. Every step is optional. You can return from Settings → Apps & help.

Create your account

Sign up with email, Google, or Microsoft, then choose a plan. Pinport requires a subscription; new accounts can start a 7-day trial. A payment method is required and the subscription renews automatically unless you cancel. See plans and trial terms.

Bring your bookmarks, or save one new link

Already have a collection? Import it from your browser, Raindrop, or another bookmark manager. Folder names become tags. You can preview the import first.

Starting fresh? Open your library, choose New bookmark, and paste a website URL. Give it a useful title, add a note about why you saved it, and choose Save. Tags are optional.

Find it again

Search for a name, a topic, or what a page does, such as “merge two PDFs”. Or browse: above your bookmarks, Pinport shows the topics it found in your library. Pick one to narrow the list, then a finer one. There is nothing to sort first.

Choose Design tools, then one of the finer topics that appear. Remove a picked topic with its × to step back.

Explore search, browse by topic, or add tags for projects and plans.

Install the browser extension

Pinport has extensions for desktop Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. Install one, pin it to your toolbar, open it, and choose Connect Pinport. Sign in on the website and approve the connection, then return to the extension.

Open the extension with Alt + Shift + P (Option + Shift + P on Mac). Change the shortcut or troubleshoot conflicts →

Open a page you want to keep and choose Save page in the extension, or right-click a page or link and choose Save to Pinport…. Review the title, notes, and tags before saving. If asked, allow access to the current tab so the extension can read its URL.

The website and extension sign in separately. Use the same account in both. If the store version looks different, update it; direct browser import requires a compatible version. Safari users can use the bookmarklet.

On your phone or tablet

Open Pinport in your mobile browser and sign in to the same account. Use your browser’s Add to Home Screen or install action for quick access. In Safari on iPhone or iPad, look in the Share menu. The available install actions vary by browser and operating system.

Copy a link from another app, open Pinport, and paste it into a new bookmark. Where your installed app appears in the system share menu, you can send the link directly. If it does not appear, copying and pasting works without share integration.

On your desktop

Use Pinport in any modern browser. If your browser offers an install or open-as-app action in its menu or address bar, you can give Pinport its own window. Otherwise, bookmark the library or pin its tab.

Make it part of your day

Pick one small habit: save every useful tool the moment it helps you, collect ideas for your next trip, or keep longer reads under Read later. See workflows you can make your own →
