Share Extension

Use the Share Extension to send a web page or selected text into Pinwork from another app on iPhone or iPad.

The Share Extension is useful for saving an article, quote, link, or note as a task.

From another app, open the system Share Sheet and choose Pinwork.

When you share a web page, Pinwork can keep the URL and create a task using the page title or shared text when available.

Before saving, you can review the task information in the Share Extension.

You can also share plain text.

When you share plain text, Pinwork uses the first line as the task title and the remaining text as notes.

This is useful for saving a quote, instruction, address, message, or other text you want to act on later.

Choose destination and context

Before saving, the Share Extension can let you choose:

Use Inbox when you only want to capture. Use Today or Tomorrow when you already know when you want to act on the shared item.

The Share Extension supports:

It does not support image, video, or file shares.

The Share Extension keeps shared text raw.

It does not parse shared text for dates, tags, projects, recurrence, estimates, or calendar commands.

For example:

Call mom tomorrow at 2pm

stays as task text unless you edit the task later.

The Share Extension queues capture work for the main app to process.

If access is locked, the main app can block the queued mutation and ask you to restore access.
