Just released my new Pinboard app for iOS 14 and macOS Big Sur called Pins. I've been looking for a good Pinboard app but most have been discontinued or rarely have any updates in the last few years. So I took the matter in my own hands and built one. Pins is free to try — give it a look if you're a happy Pinboard user like me!

Hi, I was just looking for a good iPadOS bookmark app last night, so I was surprised to see this. I downloaded your app but I have a question: do I have to connect/login to pinboard in order to create a new bookmark? I tried clicking “Done” button and the app does nothing.
Yeah your Pinboard account has to be connected in order to create a new bookmark. You can either use your Pinboard username/password combo or just the API token. Your password isn't stored on the device anyway — it's just used to retrieve the API token and save you a few clicks.
So far this looks great. The share interface seems nice which is about the only thing I use these apps for to be honest. Anything that makes that faster to fill out is a win in my books.
Browsing your old bookmarks and looking for something you saved in the past is valuable as well. Pins comes with full-text search support and a On This Day page for all your nostalgic need.
