Pinako
What it is
Pinako is a browser extension that arranges tabs and sessions in nested trees and can restore closed tabs and windows to their earlier positions. Its Libraries collect tabs, windows, and notes, including in shared workspaces. Notes support rich text; Pro+ adds resizable image, video, and audio embeds stored in Pinako cloud. Search options include natural-language queries and an AI Librarian chat panel, while an MCP bridge connects desktop AI clients and runs locally on the user's computer. AI Search sends the query and relevant context to xAI's Grok API. The free extension stores data locally, and Pinako's privacy policy says it does not sell data, read page contents, or train AI models on stored data. Backups can use local snapshots or optional services including Google Drive, Dropbox, Filecoin, Arweave, and Storj. A free plan is available; Pro and Pro+ monthly plans offer a 14-day trial without a payment method. Pinako works in Chromium-based browsers, but not WebKit-based browsers such as Orion. The AI Bridge requires the extension and is offered for Windows 10/11 and Linux x64 or ARM64.
