Pintwist
Open-source Pinterest research that runs entirely on your machine.
Pintwist overlays save counts, reactions, comments, repins, and creation dates on every Pinterest pin you browse, then lets you sort, filter, build a local catalog, and export CSV — all on your own device. No account, no backend, no telemetry: nothing ever leaves your browser. It is free and open source under the Apache-2.0 license.
What it does
Metrics on every pin
Save count, reactions, shares, repins, comments, and creation date shown right on the pin tile. No clicks needed.
Sort & filter
Re-rank a board or search by saves, shares, reactions, repins, comments, or newest — then filter the results down to what matters.
Local catalog + CSV
Save what you find into a local catalog (kept in your browser), group by design, and export everything to CSV for your own analysis.
100% local
No account, no server, no telemetry. Pintwist runs entirely in your browser using your own Pinterest session — your data never leaves your device.
