Pocket will no longer be available after July 8, 2025.
You can continue using the app and browser extensions until this date. After July 8, Pocket will move into export-only mode. Users can export saves anytime until October 8, 2025, after which user data will be permanently deleted. Why is Pocket shutting down?
Pocket has helped millions save articles and discover stories worth reading. But the way people use the web has evolved, so we’re channeling our resources into projects that better match their browsing habits and online needs.
Wallabag user here for 7 years or so, previous Pocket user, instapaper user before that. Wallabag is good. Not perfect but good. I’m a happy paying subscriber.
It has some challenges with some articles and content here and there, but overall it’s a good alternative. I think my last yearly subscription was €12, so also very affordable. It has a handy export function for individual items, and you can share individual articles publicly. Has an auto tagging functionality which is flexible and very useful.
The annotation feature is not great though, so if that’s important to you, then it might not be your jam.
