Sync pinned tabs between computers

[aleatoreo22]

I would like to know if it is possible to synchronize pinned tabs between computers running Zen using the same account.

Hi @aleatoreo22! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the desktop team.

Syncing pinned tabs between devices in Zen isn't currently supported—only workspaces are synced, not the tabs inside them. This feature has been requested as an enhancement but isn't implemented yet. There's also a proposal to treat pinned tabs as bookmarks to enable sync in the future, but that's not available right now. For now, pinned tabs will only appear on the device where you set them up, even if you're logged in with the same account on multiple computers. You can read more in this discussion: Zen browser tab and pinned tab sync.

To reply, just mention @dosu.

I was in a Reddit thread where someone raised the idea of using file-based syncing through an export file that includes the importants like layout, spaces, pins, folders, essentials, and everything else that Firefox doesn't support and even that to be able to carry your setup.

Possibly even introduce like an Obsidian-style access to export this file to a specific synced directory and allow it to be backed up automatically. It could even add the benefit of sync across desktops for people who don't care about mobile and/or don't want a Firefox account in order to use the sync. This method also allows users to self host their solutions if preferred.

That's my implementation of their idea at least.
