Supported apps
Press your Copy shortcut and Pinza copies whatever is most useful for the app you're in. This page lists every app it understands and what you get. All app support is free.
Reliability varies with how much an app lets Pinza see. Most integrations are rock-solid; the notes call out the few that are best-effort.
Browsers
Pinza copies the URL and title of the active tab in:
Safari, Google Chrome, Chrome Canary, Brave, Vivaldi, Microsoft Edge, Arc, Zen, and Firefox.
Three extras work in any of them:
- Highlight links — select text on the page first, and the copied link ends in
#:~:text=…, reopening scrolled to your selection with it highlighted.
Terminals
Pinza copies the working directory of your foreground shell — and if you're SSH'd into a remote machine, an ssh://user@host link instead:
Terminal, iTerm2, Warp, kitty, Alacritty, Ghostty.
Files and system

|---|---|
| Finder | The paths of all selected files (or the front window's folder) |
| System Settings | A deep link that reopens the exact pane you're viewing |
| Preview | A link to the PDF at the current page (#page=12) |
| Skim | The same, as a skim:// link that reopens Skim on that page |
Mail, notes, and tasks
| App | What Pinza copies |
|---|---|
| Apple Mail | A message: deep link to the selected message |
| Mimestream | A direct Gmail URL to the selected message |
| Apple Notes | A shared-note link — works for notes shared via iCloud |

| Obsidian | An obsidian:// link to the current note |
| Notion | A link to the current page |
| SnippetsLab | A link to the selected snippet |
Messaging
Slack — a link to the selected message. Click the message first, and keep your cursor out of the input field. Details and setup for slack:// deep links: the Slack integration.
Media
| App | What Pinza copies |
|---|---|
| Spotify | A song.link URL that opens in anyone's music service; Copy as… adds direct links per platform |
| Apple Music | A music.apple.com link to the current track — catalog content only, not local uploads |
| Apple Podcasts | A link to the episode you're playing (or last played this session) |
| Apple Books | A books.apple.com link to the book you're reading |
| App Store | The web URL of the app page you're viewing |
| Setapp | The setapp.com page of the app you're viewing |
| Feishin | A Spotify search link for the playing track (self-hosted libraries have no shareable URLs) |
Code editors
| App | What Pinza copies | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Xcode | The path of the current source file | — |
| VS Code, VS Code Insiders, Cursor, Windsurf | A vscode://file/…-style link to the current file |
Add ${activeEditorLong} to the window.title setting so the editor shows the full path |
| JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, and family) | A jetbrains:// navigation link to the current file |
The link resolves when the project is open |
Everything else
Apps without a dedicated integration still work more often than not: any document-based Mac app that tells the system what file it has open — TextEdit, Pages, and most native editors — yields its document's path.
If an app you use copies nothing, or the wrong thing, say so. App support is the product; requests directly shape releases.
