Pinnie brings information, social discovery and free business tools into one connected ecosystem designed to help people and businesses get discovered without paying for visibility.
NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / August 20, 2026 / Pinnie is building a new kind of digital ecosystem, beginning with Tiles: an immersive four-quadrant dashboard that brings global news, real-time market data, local weather, trending videos and other daily information into one screen. Two-axis navigation lets users swipe horizontally between categories and vertically within each category without losing their place elsewhere in the dashboard.
Pinnie also gives individuals, creators and businesses free customizable multipage websites called Pages. Pages support video, high-resolution images, written content, interactive picture tags, external links and appointment scheduling. Once published, a Page enters Pinnie's social timeline, helping people discover it without requiring its owner to master traditional SEO or pay to boost visibility.
For businesses, a free website can connect directly to a free business page and the owner's main social profile. Each destination leads back to the others, creating a closed-loop system for discovery, identity and customer action. Nearby business results can re-sort by a user's location, while businesses can publish local deals. We always make small improvements by doing things like allowing food trucks to update their location daily. Planned additions include free CRM tools, product and inventory management, pickup or shipping options, and in-app purchasing-all at no cost. Pinnie is working to become the number-one app for exposure by giving businesses tools they commonly pay for and continuing to add more.
The wider platform includes Pin ID™, a personalized alphanumeric identity, a consent-based contact and messaging system that can preserve personal privacy; PinPals™, which can distribute posts across the locations of trusted connections on your PinPals list; local-first trending, hotspot feeds, accountable anonymous posting, sync and content ratings, cinematic profile header videos and an option to disable interest-based curation. Pinnie has also developed progressive, comprehensive parental settings that route key requests and activity through a guardian's controls.
Pinnie's transparent rank system rewards genuine participation, community support, local exploration and engagement. Rank expands post reach and duration while unlocking selected features. The first 500,000 users receive every feature from day one regardless of their rank. Qualifying Influencer-rank creators can earn a share of advertising revenue from Page traffic. Pinnie promotes discovery; we want you to gain traction, not be hidden.
Every design decision-from professional color modes to animation and navigation-has been meticulously crafted. Founder Ken McIntosh, an 8-year U.S. Air Force veteran and former small-business owner, combined app ideas developed over 14 years into Pinnie. "I'm not an Ivy League dropout; I'm a community college dropout," McIntosh said. "One semester of graphic design introduced me to technology and became the visual cornerstone of Pinnie. Without a coding background, I taught myself Android Studio in two weeks, used ChatGPT and Google Gemini to help create the files, made manual edits where I could, and built the first MVP in approximately two months."
