  description

  PinGrid gives you a fast, visual home for the tabs and pages you keep coming back to — without cluttering your browser tab bar.
  
  Click the toolbar icon for an instant popup grid of your saved pages, or press Alt+P to slide open a sidebar panel that stays alongside your work. Everything is one click away, with favicons, titles, and a built-in filter to find pins as you type.
  
  KEY FEATURES
  - Popup grid view — see all your pinned pages at a glance
  - Sidebar panel — keep your pins beside you while you browse (Alt+P)
  - Right-click to add — save the current page or any link from the page context menu
  - Quick filter — type to instantly narrow down your pins
  - Browser-pin migration — import existing pinned tabs in one click and reclaim your tab bar
  - Local-first — your pins are stored on your device, not on a server
  - Lightweight — no tracking, no analytics, no account required
  
  PINGRID FREE
  The free version lets you save up to 4 pins. Perfect for trying it out.
  
  PINGRID PREMIUM (£2.99 one-time)
  Unlock unlimited pins forever with a single one-off payment. No subscriptions, no recurring charges. Activate by entering your licence key in the popup.
  
  PRIVACY
  PinGrid stores your pinned pages locally in your browser using chrome. Storage. No data is sent to any server. There is no analytics, no tracking, and no account.

  Tired of cluttered pinned tabs eating your tab bar? PinGrid replaces Chrome's built-in pinned tabs with a clean, searchable grid of your most-used pages — accessible from a popup or a persistent side panel.
  
  Pin once. Click to open. Search to find. No more lost pinned tabs across windows. No more background tabs hogging memory.

  ✦ WHY PINGRID?
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  
  Chrome's pinned tabs have problems:
  - They clutter your tab bar
  - They're always loaded, eating RAM
  - They get lost when you have multiple windows
  - They disappear if Chrome crashes
  
  PinGrid fixes all of it. Your pins live in a tidy grid, instantly available, never running in the background.

  ✦ PRICING
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  
  Free forever for up to 4 pins — try every feature, no signup, no credit card.
  
  Need more? Unlock unlimited pins for a one-time £2.99. No subscriptions. No accounts. No ads. Ever.
  
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  ✦ PRIVACY
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  
  Your pins stay on your device. PinGrid uses Chrome's local storage — we never see your URLs, browsing history, or page content. The only network call is a periodic license check (for paying users) and that sends only a license key, nothing else.
