V 1.1.5
July 5, 2026
- Export and import your tabs and libraries as CSV, Markdown, or Org files, in addition to the existing JSON and HTML. CSV is a flat, spreadsheet-friendly list of links; Markdown and Org keep your folder nesting, and Org also preserves tags, memos, and star colors. Importing understands all of these, plus any saved or pasted list of links. JSON and HTML remain the full-fidelity backup formats.
V 1.1.4
June 30, 2026
- Right-click anywhere on a webpage to open a Pinako menu with the same options as the toolbar icon (Add Tab or Window to Library, Home Tabs actions, and more).
- Google Drive and Dropbox automatic backups, plus HTML export, are now included in the free extension and no longer limited to paid plans. HTML export saves all your trees and data as a readable, portable file any browser can open or import.
- Opening tabs or windows from the tree now keeps the Pinako window in front instead of letting the new window take focus. You can turn this off in Options.
V 1.1.3
June 22, 2026
- General touchscreen improvements.
- Improved panel-width memory for 2 and 3 panel modes.
- Fixed a bug that occasionally caused the list of saved Home Tabs to be cleared after a launch restore.
V 1.1.0 THE LIBRARIAN HAS ARR—"Shhh!" ...the librarian has arrived(!)
May 27, 2026
Introducing Pinako AI Librarian (Pro and above): a new agentic AI layer with two surfaces that can do almost anything you can do manually inside Pinako. It can tag, memo, rename, recolor, create and edit notes, and rearrange or organize your tabs, windows, libraries, library groups, and bookmarks.
- In-extension chat panel streams responses from Pinako AI (Grok 4.3) or your own keys for Anthropic, OpenAI-compatible providers, Google Gemini, and OpenRouter. Searchable conversation history syncs across your signed-in devices. Unified AI Settings panel.
- Pinako AI Bridge (previously read-only) now exposes 27 write tools alongside its 21 read tools, so Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT, and any other MCP-aware client can drive Pinako through your existing AI subscription.
- Multi-browser routing lets one AI session act across every Chromium browser signed into the same account.
- Monthly AI credits bumped across paid tiers: Pro 100 to 150, Pro+ 200 to 300, Premium 500 to 800, Enterprise 1,500 to 2,500.
- Transfer tabs from your main tree or libraries straight into your phone's Mobile Bookmarks. A new sub-tab inside the synced devices panel mirrors the Mobile Bookmarks folder. Drag anything in (whole windows convert to folders) and changes sync back through the browser to mobile.
- Browser bookmarks now have full export and import support. JSON and HTML exports include Pinako metadata (nesting, tags, memos). Import accepts Netscape HTML from any browser.
- Library storage moved off the legacy 5 MB chrome.storage.local cap, so very large libraries and bulk imports save reliably.
- Search Notes mode in the search toolbar works again. Typing now shows the cross-tree notes results panel (was silently inert due to a function-name collision).
- Stale tab row title and favicon now reconcile from live Chrome state on popup re-open and window focus.
- Tab dragged to depth-0 from a single-tab window now becomes a window-move in the tree without Chrome-window churn.
V 1.0.2
May 6, 2026
- Improved Chrome Tab Group synchronization between tree and browser.
- Post-drop quiet zone protecting the undo entry from late Chrome event echoes.
V 1.0.1
May 4, 2026
- Fixed a rare refresh loop and portal sync churn triggered by an off-screen, browser-throttled tab whose title or favicon cycled rapidly (e.g. a chat tab with an unread notification).
- Added a per-tag X button in the tag popup.
- Hover a row whose title is too long to fit and after 1.2s the text auto-scrolls horizontally so you can read the full title without clicking.
- Added Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Shift+Z keyboard shortcuts for undo/redo actions.
