About:
PinboardNotesBackup is a command-line utility that exports all notes from your Pinboard account into a local SQLite database. This creates a portable, offline backup of your saved notes, protecting against data loss and enabling local search and analysis. It is designed to be efficient and fast, syncing only new or updated notes after the initial run.
Key Features:
  • Exports all Pinboard notes to a local SQLite database
  • Efficiently syncs only new or changed notes on subsequent runs
  • Simple command-line interface for easy scripting and automation
  • Provides a portable, offline backup format
Use Cases:
  • Creating regular, automated backups of your Pinboard notes
  • Generating a local archive for offline access and search
  • Migrating your notes from Pinboard to another service
Alternatives:
  • pinboard-backup – A similar tool that often backs up to JSON or plain text files instead of a structured SQLite database.
  • Manual Export – Pinboard's web interface allows exporting, but this tool automates the process for regular, incremental backups.
