# Pinako - full reference for AI agents

> Companion to https://pinako.pro/llms.txt (the short overview - read that first).
> This file carries the full detail: feature reference, AI integrations, pricing,
> audience, operational facts, and a map of every public page.

## Core features

- **Hierarchical tree** of all tabs, windows, and ghost tabs. Drag-and-drop placement at any depth, across two or three trees simultaneously. Functional with tens of thousands of nodes.
- **Ghost tabs**: tabs the user closes via Pinako's X button are preserved in the tree (dimmed, no memory cost) and reopen on double-click. Tabs closed in the browser are deleted from the tree (intentional distinction).
- **Three node types**: Window Groups (collapsible categories, main-tree only, nestable, color-tintable), Windows (live or ghost), Tabs (live or ghost). Folder nodes (libraries and bookmarks only) flexibly mix tabs, windows, folders, and groups at any depth.
- **Libraries**: persistent named collections of windows, tabs, and notes, independent of live browsing. Shareable as public web pages or invite-only. Private read invites at Pro tier; private edit invites and real-time collaboration at Pro+.
- **Library Groups**: organizational layer above libraries with their own notes.
- **Notes**: rich-text Tiptap documents attached to a tree (main tree or any library), with multimedia embeds (images, video, audio) at Pro+.
- **Memos** (per-node plain text up to 2,500 chars) and **Tags** (per-node string labels): both searchable.
- **Bookmarks panel**: browser bookmark collection rendered as a fully interactive Pinako tree, with bidirectional sync to the native bookmark manager and AI semantic search across decades-old collections.
- **Smart Session Restore**: rebuilds tree positions on browser launch. Tabs reopen exactly where they were, connected to their stored ghost siblings (unlike the browser's disconnected-windows native restore).
- **Home Tabs and Home Tab Sets**: designate tabs as session-starters; create named context bundles (Work, Leisure, School, Project X) to switch focus with one click.
- **Cloud sync**: 500ms debounced writes, version + device-ID conflict resolution, real-time cross-device updates, uniform across all paid tiers.
- **Web portal at pinako.pro/portal**: read-only main tree, full library editing, Device Selector to view any synced device.
- **Backups**: local (IndexedDB snapshots, JSON, HTML), cloud (Pinako Cloud, Google Drive, Dropbox), and blockchain (Filecoin, Arweave, Storj) at Pro+.
- **Universal import** from Session Buddy, Toby, Workona, Tabs Outliner, BrainTool, Link Map, TabXpert, OneTab, plus generic JSON / HTML / plain-text fallback. Preserves custom tab names, pinned markers, timestamps, descriptions, collapse states, and to-do markers (converted to checklists).
- **Customization**: light/dark toggle, theme gallery, full color customizer with live preview, every keyboard shortcut rebindable.
- **Mobile sessions**: tabs from synced phones and tablets viewable in the tree, draggable into desktop libraries or the main tree.

## AI integrations

- **AI Semantic Search** (Pro tier and up): natural-language queries over tree metadata, e.g. "that article about AI" or "tabs I opened last Tuesday" or "the PDF about taxes". Runs against Pinako's monthly AI credit pool.
- **AI Chat Panel** (Pro tier and up, live): a chat window built into the extension popup. Ask the Librarian about your data, or have it edit and reorganize almost anything (tabs, windows, libraries, notes, tags, memos, colors, and browser bookmarks). Runs on Pinako's built-in AI (billed against the credit pool) or a bring-your-own model (Anthropic, OpenAI-compatible, Google Gemini, OpenRouter).
- **Pinako AI Bridge (MCP)** (Pro tier and up, live): desktop installer (Windows .exe, Linux/macOS CLI) at pinako.pro/downloads. Auto-configures Claude Code, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT-Codex, Cursor, VS Code (Copilot agent mode), Antigravity, Grok Build, Kimi Code, OpenClaw, Hermes, Cline, Zoo Code, and any HTTP MCP client at `127.0.0.1:37421/mcp` (the installer appends a machine-local access token to the URL; a client without it gets read-only access); legacy Windsurf, Roo Code, Continue.dev, and Gemini CLI installs are also configured when present. Full read-and-write toolset: read the tree, libraries, notes, and browser bookmarks, and reorganize them (move and nest tabs, create libraries, groups, and folders, edit titles, tags, memos, colors, and notes, find and remove duplicates, apply batched edits as one undoable step). Runs on the client's own AI subscription, not Pinako credits. Data stays local.
- **Pinako Remote MCP Connector** (Pro tier and up, live): hosted Streamable HTTP MCP server at `https://connect.pinako.pro/mcp` - no install needed. Connect from Claude (web/desktop custom connector), ChatGPT, or any connector-capable MCP client; sign-in via OAuth 2.0 with PKCE (authorization-server metadata at https://pinako.pro/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server). Same full read-and-write toolset as the AI Bridge (49 tools). Machine-readable server card: https://pinako.pro/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json. Setup guide: https://pinako.pro/docs/mcp-setup/
- **WebMCP site tools** (public, live): pinako.pro's public pages register read-only tools via `document.modelContext` for browser-resident agents - `search_pinako_docs`, `get_pinako_pricing`, `get_pinako_page`. These answer questions about the product from the same markdown this file belongs to; they do not touch a user's data. For a user's own tabs, libraries, notes, and bookmarks, use the Remote MCP Connector or the AI Bridge above.

## Collaborative workspaces (Pro+)

- Real-time co-editing of library tree and notes.
- Live multicolor cursors, text carets, and selections labeled by collaborator name.
- **Edit Log**: searchable timeline of every change with text-level diffs inside notes. Real-time delivery, 90-day retention, infinite scroll.
- Collaborator caps: 5 (Pro+), 20 (Premium), 50 (Enterprise).

- 14-day free trial on Pro and Pro+ monthly only. No credit card required to start; the subscription pauses and the account returns to free if no payment method is added by the end of the trial.
- Refunds: monthly non-refundable; annual refundable pro-rated within 60 days.
- "Pinako Pro" colloquially refers to any paid tier; precisely it means the Pinako Pro plan at $5 per month.
- Library access (owner / write / read) is independent from subscription tier; magic-link library guests get sessions without Pro status.

## Who Pinako is for

Anyone who regularly uses a web browser - the value scales with how much browsing life you accumulate. Especially strong fits:

- People with hundreds-to-thousands of tabs who need real organization (groups, folders, ghost-tab continuity).
- Researchers, students, and academics building annotated source archives.
- Project teams sharing live link collections with rich-text notes.
- Long-time bookmark collectors whose 20-year-old bookmark trees need visual restructuring and AI rediscovery.
- Multi-device users who want consistent context across home, work, and mobile.
- Knowledge workers routing AI assistants through their browsing context via MCP.
