Read-it-later app Pocket is shutting down. Here are the best alternatives.
In May 2025, Mozilla announced that it was shutting down the popular read-it-later app Pocket, which it had acquired back in 2017 for an undisclosed amount. While Pocket helped users save and discover millions of articles, Mozilla said the way people are browsing the web is changing, and it plans to focus its resources on other projects. Pocket users have until October 8, 2025, to export their saved articles and other items, including lists, archives, favorites, notes, and highlights. This essentially means you will have to find a new home to build a reading list through another save-it-later app. To help users with this transition, we've rounded up a number of apps you might want to consider: Matter is a Google Ventures-backed company that makes an eponymous iOS app along with browser extensions for Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. The app lets you listen to articles and also transcribes your favorite podcasts. Though the app itself is free to use, you can pay $79.99 per year to unlock features like improved transcriptions for podcasts and YouTube videos, tools to adjust reading speed, and additional integrations with other apps like notes apps, Gmail, and Kindle. Screenshot Image Credits:Matter In March 2025, the company also added an AI-powered co-reader to answer questions about different topics users might have while reading an article. Matter co-founder Ben Springwater says Pocket users can email him at ben@ for a personal discount link. The company will soon offer the discount within its app and will launch a migration process for Pocket users.

For a limited time, tickets are just $292 for an entire day of expert talks, workshops, and potent networking. Exhibit at TechCrunch Sessions: AI Secure your spot at TC Sessions: AI and show 1,200+ decision-makers what you've built — without the big spend. Available through May 9 or while tables last. Berkeley, CA | REGISTER NOW Instapaper, which was founded by developer Marco Arment in 2008, is one of the oldest read-it-later apps. It's available on both iOS and Android, and lets you save unlimited articles and videos without paying any fees. It was acquired by Pinterest in 2016. Image Credits:Instapaper However, for $59.99 per year, you can add notes to saved articles, have a permanent archive of articles in your accounts, create a text-to-speech playlist to listen to stories, enable full text search for all saved items, and get the ability to send articles to your Kindle. The company says Pocket users can import their account into Instapaper at Users who import this way will also receive an email offering a three-month free trial to Instapaper Premium. Raindrop works primarily as an alternative bookmark manager for web browsers. However, its accompanying mobile apps for iOS and Android allow you to read your saved articles or PDFs at any time. The free version gives you unlimited bookmark saving along with integrations like Zapier and IFTTT. If you decide to pay $33 per year, you will get AI-powered suggestions for organizing your content better, full text-search, reminders for your bookmarks, a duplicate and broken links finder, and a file upload limit of 10GB per month. Image Credits: / Former Twitter engineer Joe Fabisevich created Plinky to allow users to save and categorize any kind of link, including articles, videos, recipes, and memes. The app is available across all Apple platforms, along with browser extensions to save links. Once signed up, Plinky lets you use folders and tags to categorize your links, and even set reminders to read them at a specific time. Image Credits:Plinky You can save 50 links, create three folders, and use five tags with the free version. To remove these restrictions, you can pay $3.99 per month, $39.99 a year, or a one-time fee of $159.99. Pro users are able to save unlimited links, create an unlimited number of folders, use an unlimited number of tags, and set an unlimited number of reminders. With Pocket's shutdown on the horizon, Fabisevich says a dedicated Reader Mode will be added to Plinky's app soon. The app is also offering a 50% discount on the Pro tier through the end of May 2025. Paperspan is a very simple app that offers a reading list across devices; allows you to add notes; and has text-to-speech functionality. The app is free, but it offers an $8.99 per month subscription to unlock advanced search, as well as the ability to create playlists, show reading stats, and send your articles to Kindle. Though the app works, PaperSpan hasn't been updated for some time, which may not be a good signal about its long-term future. The app is available on both iOS and Android. Readwise, a tool to add notes and highlights to articles, launched its Reader app in 2021. The app allows you to import RSS feeds, YouTube videos, Twitter threads, and more to read at your convenience. Because of its integration with Readwise, the Reader app offers great annotation features. It also features offline text search and an AI assistant. Image Credits:Readwise Reader Plus, you can integrate Reader with knowledge management apps such as Obsidian, Notion, Roam Research, Evernote, and Logseq. The app is free to try for 30 days, and then you have to pay a $9.99 per month Readwise subscription to access it. Readwise is letting Pocket users save their entire Pocket archive into Reader and notes that its app supports a number of features — like PDFs, ePubs, X posts, AI, and filtering — which Pocket never did. DoubleMemory is a new indie app focused on the Apple ecosystem, and it has native apps for both Mac and iOS. On Mac, you can easily save any link or content by pressing ' Cmd + C' twice. The saved content will then appear in a Pinterest-style tile format. The app also allows you to read offline and search through text, notes, and tags. You don't need an account to start using DoubleMemory. And if you have multiple apps, it uses your iCloud account to sync content across them. Image Credits:DoubleMemory DoubleMemory is free with in-app purchases. It offers a $3.99 monthly subscription or an annual subscription of $17.99. Recall works as a browser extension and a mobile app that allows users to save content from the web, including articles, PDFs, blog posts, podcasts, Wikipedia pages, YouTube videos, and recipes. However, unlike traditional read-it-later apps, Recall uses AI to automatically summarize content, categorize it, and then resurface it when it's related to something new you're looking to learn about. Image Credits:Recall Designed to enhance your ability to remember information, you can review your summaries from your personal knowledge base on a saved spaced repetition schedule. Recall is free to try with support for up to 10 free, AI-generated summaries. After that, you can continue to use Recall as a read-it-later tool, or you can upgrade to a $7 per month plan for unlimited AI summaries and other features. Wallabag is an open source read-it-later app that's also available as a €11 per year hosted subscription, if you prefer. The app itself works across browsers and mobile devices, offers a reader mode for more comfortable reading, and supports importing data from other services like Pocket, Instapaper, and others. Image Credits:Wallabag Open source web app Readeck is designed to help you organize any web content you want to revisit later, whether that's articles, videos, photos, or anything else. You can also use the service to highlight text, export articles to ebook format, save video transcripts, and more.

Users can host Readeck themselves, but the company says it will offer a hosted version in 2025. It's also developing a mobile app. Obsidian's web clipping service lets you highlight and capture web pages you want to save with just a click on its browser extension. You can also use templates that customize how certain types of web pages are saved. For instance, articles are saved with their citations and footnotes, while recipes will include ingredients, steps, and nutrition. You can even set up custom templates to save from your favorite websites. Image Credits:Obsidian As an open source app, Web Clipper is free to use, allowing you to highlight text, images, and blocks of content for saving into the Obsidian note-taking app. Karakeep's bookmarking app lets you save links, notes, and images, and then uses AI to automatically tag items and make retrieving them faster. The app includes other features like support for lists, bulk actions, dark mode, full-text search, and more. Image Credits:Karakeep The open source app is available on iOS and Android as a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox. You can support its developer here. Dewey is another 'save everything'-style app that lets you save and organize web links, videos, and images, including posts from social media sites like X, TikTok, Bluesky, Threads, Reddit, Instagram, LinkedIn, and others. Image Credits:Dewey The service offers built-in organizational tools like folders and tags, AI bulk tagging, keyboard shortcuts, automatic syncing to Notion, export, a personalized RSS feed, and more.

Matter Aera Electric Motorcycle Gets Lifetime Battery Warranty
Indian electric two-wheeler manufacturer has introduced a lifetime battery warranty for its electric motorcycle, Aera. The company claims this is the first time a manufacturer is offering this kind of warranty in India's electric two-wheeler segment. With this, the company aims to mitigate one of the biggest concerns of electric vehicle owners, i.e., battery life and replacement costs. The Aera provides a lifetime warranty for its battery, which is the most costly part of an electric vehicle. Generally, warranties for EV batteries range from three to eight years. Offering a lifetime warranty significantly alters this norm and may influence how consumers assess the long-term ownership costs. Also Read: Matter claims that its capability to provide this warranty is due to its choice to design and produce critical components internally, such as the battery pack and Battery Management System (BMS). These systems have reportedly been tested extensively in various terrains and climates throughout India. According to the company, this in-house manufacturing enables greater durability and consistent performance, justifying the lifetime warranty. The Matter Aera is equipped with a liquid-cooled battery. This setup not only regulates the battery's temperature but also helps create conditions conducive to prolonging battery life, which is crucial in high-temperature environments. Addressing the update, Mohal Lalbhai, Founder & CEO, Matter, said, 'When you ride with MATTER, we ride with you—for life. Our riders shouldn't have to worry about what powers their bike. This Lifetime Battery Warranty is our way of saying: we've got your back.' Matter Aera is sold at a starting price of Rs 1.93 lakh (ex-showroom) and comes with a 5 kWh battery pack. It gives a certified range of up to 172 km, while the real-world number is 125 km. Powering the bike is an 11.5 kW electric motor, which gives it a top speed of up to 105 kmph. The bike can go from 0-40 kmph in 2.8 seconds.
