PinBoard

PinBoard is a desktop application designed to save complete Pinterest boards directly to a personal computer. Unlike browser extensions or third-party websites, PinBoard processes downloads entirely on the users device, without intermediate storage on external servers or tracking mechanisms. The application preserves the original resolution of images, GIFs, and videos, and works with both public and private boards, requiring integrated login for the latter. It is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

• Complete board downloads. PinBoard's primary function is the batch download of all media files contained within a Pinterest board. The user inputs the board URL, and the application locates and downloads each item automatically, preserving the original organization.
• Full-resolution images. PinBoard accesses the highest quality versions of images hosted on Pinterest. It does not use thumbnails or compressed versions, obtaining the file in its original size and quality as uploaded by the user.
• GIF file downloads. The application correctly identifies and downloads GIF files, maintaining their original animation and characteristics without conversion to static image formats.
• Video conversion and download to MP4. For video content, PinBoard detects source files and downloads them in MP4 format. This process ensures compatibility with most media players and operating systems without appreciable quality loss.
• Public board support. The tool accesses any board configured as public on Pinterest without requiring authentication. The user provides the board link and the application proceeds with the download.
• Private board support (Pro feature). PinBoard includes the ability to download content from private boards. It incorporates a built-in login system that allows the application to authenticate and access restricted content from the user's account.
• Integrated Pinterest login. Account access functionality is handled through the PinBoard interface. This system manages the necessary authentication to verify ownership of private boards.
• Completely local operation. The entire download and file processing workflow occurs on the user's hardware. No data is transferred to external servers for processing or intermediation, maintaining the privacy of downloaded content.
• No telemetry or tracking. The application does not implement usage analytics, tracking cookies, or telemetry mechanisms that collect information about downloaded files or user browsing habits.
• Cross-platform availability. PinBoard provides compiled versions for the three major operating systems: macOS for Apple Silicon devices, Windows for x64 architectures, and Linux for x64 systems.
• Download reliability. The software implements verification mechanisms to ensure files are downloaded completely and without data corruption, automatically retrying failed connections during the process.

Development of PinBoard was initiated by a developer using the pseudonym "cullenm" in response to limitations and privacy concerns observed in other Pinterest downloader tools. The project is built using the TypeScript programming language, employing the Tauri framework for user interface creation and system component integration.
