• Dark/Light themes, dynamic colors, portrait/landscape support, optimized for tablets and Chromebooks.

Pinboard‑only extras

• Read and manage your saved notes inside Pinkt.

• Browse popular/bookmark‑trending items and add them to your collection.

Linkding status

• Version 3.0 adds basic Linkding support; most core features work.

• Archived bookmarks cannot yet be listed or managed – this is on the roadmap.

Permissions

• INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE – fetch bookmarks when online.

• WAKE_LOCK, RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED, FOREGROUND_SERVICE – keep the background sync worker running.

Project outlook

• Pinboard: As of Oct 2019 Pinkt mirrors the full Pinboard API. Updates will continue to track Android advances, though bulk edit and improved pagination await official API enhancements.

• Linkding: Actively maintained; future releases will add missing features such as archived‑bookmark handling.

FAQ

Q: How does Pinkt protect my privacy?

A: The app requests only the essential permissions needed for network access and background sync, and it never includes analytics libraries or ad SDKs. All communication with Pinboard or your self‑hosted Linkding instance happens over HTTPS, and no personal data is sent to external servers.

Q: Can I use Pinkt with both Pinboard and Linkding?

A: Yes. Pinkt supports Pinboard’s full API and offers basic Linkding integration (version 3.0 onward). You can configure the app to work with either service, or switch between them in the settings if you maintain accounts on both platforms.

Q: How do I save a link from another app?

A: When you encounter a URL you want to bookmark, use the Android share sheet and select Pinkt. The app will pre‑fill the title and description (if you enable auto‑fill) and let you add tags or mark the item as private before saving it instantly to your chosen service.
