Overview

Transform any Pinterest board into a beautiful full-screen scrolling screensaver. One click to collect, one click to play.

Turn your Pinterest boards into a living, breathing screensaver — right inside Chrome.

Browse a Pinterest board, hit "Grab images", and Pinscreener quietly collects up to 400 pins in the background. Open the screensaver and your images flow across the screen in a beautiful, infinite scrolling grid. It's the Pinterest feed you love, fullscreen and without distractions.

HOW IT WORKS
──────────────────────

1. Go to any Pinterest board or your home feed.
2. Click the Pinscreener icon in your toolbar.
3. Press "Grab images" — the extension scrolls the page and collects pins automatically.
4. Press "▶ Start screensaver" — sit back and enjoy.

That's it. No login required, no Pinterest account connected, no data leaves your device.

FEATURES
──────────────────────

🖼 Infinite scrolling grid
Images scroll in fluid, parallax columns that never stop. Each restart shuffles the order so it always feels fresh.

⚙ Deep customization
Control every detail of the display:
• Columns — 1 to 6
• Scroll speed — slow drift to fast cascade
• Direction — up, down, or alternating columns
• Column tilt — 0° to 20° for a cinematic angle
• Gap size and image corner radius
• Brightness
• Background color
• Vignette overlay (on / off)

🖱 Click behavior
Clicking an image while the screensaver is running can: open the original pin, exit the screensaver, or do nothing — your choice.

🌑 Cursor control
Hide the cursor for a true screensaver feel, or keep it visible if you prefer.

🔑 One-time license, lifetime access
Pinscreener is free to try (10-second preview). Unlock unlimited use with a one-time purchase on Gumroad — no subscription, ever. After purchase, activation is instant and automatic: your license syncs across every Chrome profile you're signed into.

PERMISSIONS EXPLAINED
──────────────────────

Pinscreener requests only the permissions it genuinely needs:

• pinterest.com access — to read pin images and scroll the page when you click "Grab images". The extension only runs on Pinterest tabs and only when you initiate it.
• Storage — to save your collected images and settings on your device, and to sync your license status across your Chrome profiles.
• Tabs — to open the original pin in a new tab when you click an image in the screensaver, and to coordinate stopping the scroll process when the screensaver closes.
• Scripting — to inject the image-collection script into an already-open Pinterest tab when you click "Grab images".

No browsing history is collected. No data is sent to Pinscreener servers. The only external request is a one-time license key verification with Gumroad (purchase only).

TIPS
──────────────────────

• For the best results, collect from a focused board (fashion, architecture, nature) rather than your home feed — the visual coherence makes the screensaver stunning.
• Collect images on multiple boards and they all pool together.
• Press Escape or double-click to exit fullscreen at any time.
• Scroll with your trackpad or mouse wheel to manually nudge the grid.
• Settings update live — open the popup while the screensaver is running to tweak in real time.
