A smarter edge
for your Mac.
Pinnel turns the top of your screen into a modular workspace for instant OCR, translation, summaries, quick notes, timers and AI handoff.
No detours.
Just the result.
Pinnel stays out of the way until you need it. Copy text, drag an image or open a tool — without leaving the app you are working in.

Your tools.
Your layout.
Build a Pinnel that matches the way you work. Add only the tools you use, choose the number of slots and reorder them freely.
Make the top of your Mac yours.
Choose your tool count, arrange the layout and preview the result before it appears on screen.
Small tools. Immediate value.
OCR, image summaries, translation, writing tools, quick notes, timers and external AI handoff — all in one place.
Always close. Never in the way.
Pinnel lives at the top center of your display, blends into a MacBook notch and becomes a floating pill on other screens.
Private by design.
