Spillo overview

Spillo is a powerful, beautiful, and amazingly fast Pinboard client. It lets you browse and organize your bookmarks in a stunning modern interface. It also makes creating a bookmark from anywhere on your Mac as convenient as possible.

  • A beautiful interface: Spillo has a beautiful modern interface that feels just right at home on your Mac. It uses all the latest technologies that you would expect from a modern OS X application.
  • Easily organize your bookmarks: Spillo allows you to create powerful collections by specifying a number of rules. Don't limit yourself to Pinboard's default organization and create collections that just match your needs.
  • Create powerful searches: Spillo also allows you to create and save public searches based on a username and a number of tags. You can keep recurrent searches right in your sidebar.
  • Share to a multitude of services: Spillo supports sharing your bookmaks to a multitude of services such as Instapaper, Pocket, Twitter and Facebook. Should you be annoyed by some services, you can easily disable them in the Preferences.
  • Quickly create a bookmark from anywhere on your Mac: Spillo's bookmark creation window can be brought up from anywhere on your Mac. Use the (optional) menu item or global shortcut to bring up. The URL field will also be pre-populated based on the content of your clipboard.
  • Browser integration to make bookmarking simpler: Spillo comes with browser extensions that make bookmarking from any page trivial. The bookmark creation window will be pre-populated based on the content of the current page. They are available for Safari and Chrome.
  • Spillo is super fast!: Spillo's edge is its speed and responsiveness. Don't wait on a slow network to process your data, it caches it and syncs whenever it's more convenient.
  • All the shortcuts you would expect: Spillo has a multitude of shortcuts that make browsing, organizing and editing your bookmarks so much quicker.
  • AppleScript support: Spillo has full AppleScript support for browsing, creating and updating bookmarks so it's easily extendable. Want to create an Alfred workflow to create a new bookmark in Spillo? You can do it with a couple of lines of AppleScript. Check this script that retrieves the current tab in Safari and presents the Spillo window to create a bookmark for that URL.
  • Create your own Sharing Service plugins: Spillo has an open plugin architecture that lets you extend the built-in sharing capabilities by building your own Sharing Services. Building a plugin is really easy, just check out the small SDK on GitHub and start building!

What’s new in version 2.0

Version 2.0:

Note: Now requires OS X 10.10 or later

New
  • Local bookmarks: Spillo no longer requires you to have a Pinboard account, just create a local account to store your bookmarks locally on your machine

this used to be a pretty good app, but seems like it has been abandoned by developers and hasn't been updated in almost three years.

Love it... but sadly it seems Spillo is not under active development anymore. Two years without an update and messages to the developer remain unanswered.

I was thrilled when I discovered this app. I think Pinboard is a great bookmarking service - but it my opinion its weakest quality is the Pinboard website's UI. Spillo totally compensates for this with a beautiful UI, user-friendliness, and helpful browser integration. Must have app if you use pinboard.in and have a Mac!

The best pinboard app for Mac! I have used many pinboard apps before before including d**bar, pi*s, p**ox, sh*ri, de**sh, r**it etc but this one is the BEST so far. It's fast, stable and easy to use. Its browser is great and its Alfred workflow is awesome! The app is also regularly updated. Loved it!

Regularly updated and tweaked - and continues to be the slickest Pinboard appication for the Mac. It really is difficult to see how it could be improved!
