Mozilla shut down its read-it-later app Pocket in 2025, prompting users to seek alternatives for saving and reading web content. Popular replacements include Matter, Instapaper, Raindrop.io, and newer indie apps like DoubleMemory and Recall, many of which support importing Pocket data and offer features such as AI-powered summarization, cross-device syncing, and integrations with note-taking tools. These alternatives cater to various reading workflows across platforms including iOS, Android, and macOS.

The Pocket shutdown really forces a rethink of how we archive articles, and during my own migration I found it surprisingly hard to keep track of which saves were actually worth reading. Using a free online counter like https://onlinecounter.org to tally my saved-vs-read totals made the comparison between alternatives a lot more concrete.
