Pinstachio: Pinboard Bookmarks

I rely on Pinstachio as part of a broader publishing workflow, and recently ran into a limitation with how the share extension handled tags. After reporting it, the developer responded quickly, implemented a fix, and in version 2.2 added an option to fetch tags directly within the share extension. This resolves a real-world workflow issue and makes the tool significantly more reliable. A smaller but meaningful fix was also included — the “private” toggle now behaves consistently across sessions. For context, I’ve used Pinboard for years and tried multiple companion apps (many of which have since been deprecated). Pinstachio has been my go-to for some time now, and this kind of responsiveness is exactly why. Highly recommended.

Pinstachio is just what I was looking for - a modern app built on top of the rock solid Pinboard service. Using the Pinboard website on an iOS device is no fun. Fortunately I found Pinstachio. It fits right in on iOS. Just in the week that I have been using the app a couple features that I want have been added. Of course I wish syncing my bookmarks was quicker. Hopefully sync time will improve now that background updating in Pinstachio has been added.

The app works wonderfully well. The developer is passionate about providing a good product. Best of all he’s chosen a business model that I am convinced will provide continuing updates. Many venerable Pinboard apps in the past were sadly abandoned. Pinstachio is poised to keep evolving.
