Is there an app like Pinterest, but for everything?

Pinterest nails visual collecting, but only for images, and only inside Pinterest. Here is what to use if you want boards for everything you save.

Short answer

Yes — EZ Save is the closest thing to “Pinterest for everything”. It gives you visual, colour-coded folders like boards, but they hold links, photos, videos and documents, they are private by default, and they are stored in your own iCloud instead of a company's feed. Raindrop.io is a good alternative if you mainly collect links and want a web app.

What people actually mean by this

When people ask for “Pinterest but for everything”, they usually want four things: a visual grid rather than a list, boards to group things by topic, the ability to save from anywhere in two taps, and — increasingly — for the collection to be private rather than a public profile feeding a recommendation engine.

The closest alternatives

EZ Save — boards for every kind of thing

EZ Save gives you folders you can name, colour and fill with any mix of links, photos, videos, documents and notes. You save from the iOS share sheet in two taps, and everything is stored in your own iCloud — encrypted on your device first — so it is a private collection rather than a public profile. Free for 3 folders; Pro unlocks unlimited folders, sync and more at $2.99/month.

Raindrop.io — for link collectors

Raindrop has attractive visual collections and works on web, iOS and Android. It is focused on bookmarks, and your data lives on its servers. See the full comparison.

Apple Notes — the free stopgap

You can paste images and links into notes, but it is a writing app: there is no browsable board view, and it gets unwieldy past a few dozen saves.

Bottom line: if you want the Pinterest feeling — visual boards, quick saving — but for every file type and without the social layer, EZ Save is the closest match on iPhone.
