It’s official: Mozilla has announced that its extremely handy read-it-later app Pocket will be shutting down on July 8, 2025, with user data exports available until October 8, 2025.
If this leaves you looking for a new home for your saved articles, videos, and web pages, the good news is you’ve still got plenty of excellent options.
Here are five solid alternatives to Pocket that offer a variety of features and pricing structures to suit your needs.
Matter
Matter is a premium read-it-later solution that goes beyond simply saving articles. For one thing, it also lets you read email newsletters in an environment that’s superior to dealing with them in your inbox. Available in iOS and web versions, it also offers powerful highlighting and annotation tools that allow you to capture your thoughts directly on the text.
The anpp integrates with popular third-party services and curates a daily digest of interesting articles from your saved sources, adding a discovery element.
There’s a free version available with an uncapped read-later library, mobile and web extensions, and sharing features. Matter Premium starts at $8 a month and includes text-to-speech, newsletter sync, unlimited highlighting and note-taking, Kindle export, and other goodies.
Readwise Reader
If you’re already familiar with Readwise for its highlight export features, then Readwise Reader is a natural extension.
It boasts a clean interface, strong highlighting and note-taking capabilities, text-to-speech, AI features, and the ability to import various content types (web articles, PDFs, newsletters, YouTube transcripts, and more).
Readwise Reader is included with a Readwise subscription, which offers a free 30-day trial and then runs $10 per month.
Raindrop
If you’re a highly visual person or deal with a wide variety of content formats, this one’s for you. While many read-it-later apps focus primarily on text, Raindrop shines as a universal bookmark manager that’s both visually appealing and versatile.
You can save articles, images, videos, PDFs, and even entire collections of links while leveraging organization features like tags, nested collections, and a powerful search engine.
Raindrop offers a pretty generous free plan with unlimited bookmarks, collections, and devices. The Pro plan runs $28 per year and adds AI suggestions for organization, full-text search, a permanent library (copies of saved pages), more upload space, cloud backup, and other enhancements.
Recall
Recall allows you to save and process various types of content, including articles, PDFs, YouTube videos, podcasts, and even meeting recordings.
It then uses AI to summarize the interesting bits from your saved content. You can ask it questions about the content, create notes, and organize it all in one central place.
Recall offers a free plan which includes 10 free content summaries, unlimited read-it-later storage, and unlimited personal notes. The “Plus” plan starts at $10 per month and offers unlimited content summaries, automatic categorization, unlimited AI questions, and more.
Instapaper
For those of us of a certain… well, vintage, Instapaper is something of a household name.
A pioneer in the read-it-later space that’s now almost old enough to vote, it saves and presents articles in a clean, minimalist format that’s ideal for focused reading.
It’s straightforward to use as well, offering offline reading capabilities, adjustable fonts, and simple highlighting. If your primary goal is distraction-free reading of saved articles, Instapaper is worth a look.
Instapaper offers a free version with unlimited article saving, syncing, folders, and integration with third-party apps. Instapaper Premium starts at $6 per month and includes full-text search, a permanent archive of articles, unlimited notes, text-to-speech, speed reading, and an ad-free website.
