Why Pinboard users are switching
Active Development
Pinboard hasn’t shipped an update since January 2025. bookmark.land ships weekly — new features, bug fixes, and community-driven improvements.
Link Health Monitoring
We flag broken links automatically. Pinboard has no link monitoring — broken bookmarks stay broken until you notice them yourself.
Modern Organization
Nested collections, smart folders, and color-coded tags. Pinboard offers only flat tags — no folders, no hierarchy, no saved searches.

Pinboard Migration FAQ
Can I import my Pinboard bookmarks?
Yes. Go to pinboard.in/export and download the HTML format. Then upload it on bookmark.land’s Import page — tags transfer automatically.
How does bookmark.land’s tagging compare to Pinboard?
Pinboard’s tagging is best-in-class — it supports tag bundles, any-length tags, and multi-tag filtering. bookmark.land has color-coded tags with multi-assign, but we don’t yet match Pinboard’s tag bundle feature. We’re honest about that.
Does bookmark.land have an API?
Yes. bookmark.land has a REST API for programmatic access. Pinboard’s API is more mature and better documented — it’s had years of community tooling built around it. Our API covers the core operations and is actively expanding.
Is Pinboard dead?
Pinboard hasn’t received meaningful updates since January 2025. Customer support emails go unanswered for months. The archival feature breaks intermittently with no fixes. It’s a solo-operator service with no visible development activity — the community consensus is that it’s effectively abandoned.
