In their own words
Pinako
Pinako is a browser extension for organizing tabs and sessions in nested trees and restoring closed tabs and windows to their earlier positions. Libraries collect tabs, windows, and notes, including shared workspaces. Notes support rich text; Pro+ adds resizable image, video, and audio embeds stored in Pinako cloud. Search includes natural-language queries and an AI Librarian chat panel, while an MCP bridge connects desktop AI clients and runs locally. AI Search sends the query and relevant context to xAI's Grok API. The free extension stores data locally; the privacy policy says Pinako 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. The Free plan is free. Pro is $5 a month, Pro+ is $10 a month, Premium is $25 a month, and Enterprise is $60 a month. New subscribers can try Pro and Pro+ monthly plans for 14 days without providing a payment method.
