New in the PXL suite

Your Pinterest feed, as a screensaver.

When your computer idles, Pin fills the screen with a slow, drifting wall of pins from your home feed or any public board. The Pin app shows every pin it has, saves the ones you love as images, and hides the ones you never want to see again.

Latest versionFirst release coming soon · Free and open source · macOS and Windows

Columns drift at their own pace, so the wall never looks like it's repeating.

Features

Your feed on the big screen. On your terms.

A screensaver that feels like scrolling Pinterest with your hands off the keyboard, and an app to curate it.

A living wall of pins

Masonry columns drift upward at slightly different speeds, pins recycle as they leave the top, and a new batch arrives every few minutes. Multiple displays get their own wall.

Hide what you don't want

Hide a pin in the app and it never shows in the screensaver again, and isn't downloaded again either. Changed your mind? It's one click to bring it back.

Save the good ones

Save any pin, or a whole selection, as a normal JPG or PNG. Or copy it straight to the clipboard.

Refresh on demand

Pull a fresh batch of pins whenever you like, or start over with an entirely new set.

Works offline

Up to 200 pins are kept on disk, so the screensaver starts instantly, even without Wi-Fi.

How it works

Install it once. Then just walk away.

Pin sets up the screensaver for you and keeps it updated.

Pick a source

Your own home feed, or any public profile or board, like nasa/space.

Install the screensaver

One click in Pin. It shows up in Screen Saver settings on Mac and Windows.

Curate

Open Pin any time to save pins you love and hide the ones you don't.

Private by design

It runs on your computer. That's it.

Pin has no servers and no account of its own. Pins come straight from Pinterest to your computer, and your session cookie, if you use your home feed, never leaves it except to talk to pinterest.com.
