Best Alternatives to Pocket as It Shuts Down in 2025

Mozilla has announced that Pocket, its popular read-later app, will be shutting down on July 8, 2025. Users have until October 8 to export their saved content. As a result, several alternatives are now being recommended for those looking to continue saving articles for later reading. Browser-based reading lists such as those in Safari and Chrome offer simple solutions but lack advanced features like tagging and offline support. Instapaper is considered the closest alternative to Pocket, with a free tier that includes syncing and organizing, and a premium version offering speed reading and Kindle integration.

For Apple users, GoodLinks provides a one-time purchase option with strong offline capabilities, iCloud syncing, and color-coded highlights. Power users may prefer Readwise Reader, which supports not only articles but also videos, books, newsletters, and social posts, with features like highlight syncing and RSS feeds. Matter is a premium service focused on newsletter reading, offering Gmail integration and curated content. Other notable tools include Send to Kindle for e-readers, Wallabag for those preferring open-source options, and Flyleaf, a newer Apple-only app with optional paid features. With a range of tools available, users can find suitable replacements tailored to their specific needs.
