One-time setup
Choose your device
Android uses the native Notestopin app. iPhone and iPad use an Apple Shortcut that opens the mobile capture editor.
Why a Shortcut?
Safari web apps cannot register as iOS Share Sheet destinations. A Shortcut can receive the Pinterest URL and open Notestopin’s mobile editor.
- 1
Create “Note this Pin” in Shortcuts
Make a new Shortcut, open its Details, turn on Show in Share Sheet, and limit accepted input to URLs.
- 2
Encode the shared URL
Add URL Encode and use Shortcut Input as its value.
- 3
Build the Notestopin link
Add a Text action containing this address, followed by the encoded result:
https://notestopin.com/capture/?url=[URL Encoded Text] - 4
Open the editor
Add Open URLs using the Text from step 3. Save the Shortcut, then choose “Note this Pin” from Pinterest’s Share Sheet.
Move mobile notes into your desktop library
1 Android library→2 Export JSON→3 Import in extension
The exported file uses Notestopin’s existing schema. Import merges by Pin ID and keeps the newer version; it does not delete your desktop notes.
