Pocket shuts down July 8, 2025

You will no longer be able to download Pocket or purchase a new Pocket Premium subscription from May 22, 2025.
Premium monthly and annual subscriptions will be cancelled automatically. Annual subscribers will receive automatic refunds from July 8, 2025.
Users can export saves anytime until October 8, 2025, after which their data will be permanently deleted.
API users will no longer be able to transact data (read or write) over Pocket’s API from October 8, 2025 and will need to export their data before this date.
For more information, including refund details for Premium annual subscribers and how to export saves, go to our Pocket support article… More here.

I hadn’t used Pocket for years until I recently got a Kobo, for which Pocket was the only supported service. For many others this will be a blow because they use it so much, but alas times changes and services disappear.

If you are looking for an alternative that renders articles perfectly I would recommend GoodLinks. It is by far the best ‘save later’ service I have used.
