Why Pin Pal
Tabs pile up. Pin Pal puts them away.
People keep tabs open so they don’t lose what they found, and bookmarks get saved and never opened again. Pin Pal keeps those sites on every new tab instead, sorted and one keystroke away.
Start typing on the new tab and fuzzy search opens, most-used first. Nothing matches? Enter searches the web with your own default search engine.

Chrome permissions Pin Pal asks for
Storage
Tabs
Identity
Context menus
Tab groups
Alarms
Search
History and Bookmarks, only if you turn them on
Pin Pal has no access to websites themselves, so it can't read or change any page. At install, Chrome describes Tabs as “Read your browsing history”. Pin Pal uses it only to save, stash, snooze or switch to a tab.
Every permission and where your data lives

Where your data lives
Shortcuts, categories, settings
On your computer. When signed in, also in your Pin Pal account, locked so only you can read it.
Background photo
On your computer. With Pro, also in your account’s private storage so it can sync. Free accounts never upload it.
Account details
Name, email and profile photo from Google sign-in.
Payment details
With Dodo Payments only. Pin Pal never sees card details.
Site icons
Looked up through Google’s icon service with the site’s domain only, never the full address.
Yes. Unlimited shortcuts, 15 categories, sync and every look option are free forever. Pro adds power features for $3.99 a month or $23.99 a year.
Do I need an account?
No. Sign in with Google only if you want sync across computers.
Does Pin Pal read my browsing?
No. It reads a tab's address and title only when you save, search, stash or snooze it, never what's on the page, and it has no ads or analytics. Chrome's install prompt says “Read your browsing history” because of the Tabs permission, which Pin Pal needs for exactly those things.
What happens when the trial ends?
You move to Free automatically. Nothing is charged and nothing you saved is locked.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, from Manage billing in your account. Pro stays on until the end of the period you paid for.
Why is it cheaper in my country?
Prices follow local purchasing power, and checkout shows your currency and taxes.
What if I delete something by mistake?
Press Undo on the message that appears. With Pro, the trash keeps deleted shortcuts for 30 days.
Which search engine does it use?
Your own Chrome default.
Can I delete my account?
Yes: Account, then Delete account. It erases your synced data and cancels any subscription.
Which browsers work?
Google Chrome on desktop: Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS.
