Every 24 hours, Pinnacle showcases a Daily Mystery Gemβan extraordinary, mind-expanding web destination, museum archive, or viral tool. You can tap to reveal today's gem, track your daily discovery streak, and optionally unlock extra mystery gems by viewing a short rewarded sponsor video.
What is the Apex Vault and how is it secured?
▼
The Apex Vault is your private sanctuary for confidential bookmarks and links. It is protected by Apple's native LocalAuthentication framework using Face ID, Touch ID, or a custom 4-digit PIN. All vault data is stored encrypted in your local iOS sandbox and cannot be accessed without biometric or passcode verification.
Can I add my own custom links and categories?
▼
Yes! You can easily create custom categories, choose custom SF Symbols and theme colors, and save personal web links with titles, URLs, and descriptions. Your custom entries live alongside the curated directory seamlessly.
How does In-App Safari protect my privacy?
▼
Pinnacle opens all links inside Apple's native SFSafariViewController. This runs as a sandboxed system service completely isolated from Pinnacle: the app cannot see the pages you browse, credentials you enter, or cookies you store. You also enjoy system autofill, Reader Mode, and Content Blocker support automatically.
How do I clear or reset my stored data?
▼
You have complete control over your data. In Pinnacle, open Settings → Directory Management → Reset All Data. This will purge all custom categories, links, starred favorites, and vault items, restoring Pinnacle to its fresh default curated state.
