Mozilla recently announced that it's shutting down the read-later app Pocket on July 8, 2025. If you're a fan like I was, now's the time to start looking at alternatives. You have until October 8 of this year to export your saves from Pocket, so get testing now to find the right read-later replacement for you.
Use your browser's reading list feature

To access saved articles on your iPhone, tap the bookmarks icon in Safari's tab bar, then the spectacles icon. In Safari for Mac, click the sidebar button next to the green button in the top-left corner of the browser's window, and select Reading List from the sidebar. To save articles offline by default on your iPhone, go to Settings > Apps > Safari, scroll to the bottom, and enable Automatically Save Offline. On the Mac, this is under Safari menu > Settings > Advanced > Reading List.
Bookmarks and Lists > Reading List on the desktop browser. On Android, tap the three-dots menu and select Star. In Chrome for iPhone, this option is located under the three-dots menu > Add to reading list.
As convenient as browser-based reading lists are, they do lack a few features when compared with proper read-later apps, such as tagging, organizing articles by topic or creating custom folders.
Instapaper: The closest alternative to Pocket
Credit: InstapaperThe best paid features, though, are speed reading and the ability to send articles to your Kindle. Speed reading flashes one word at a time to help you read articles faster. The send-to-Kindle feature is also quite nice to have for long reads that you'd rather view on an e-ink display.
GoodLinks: An excellent read-later app for Apple devices
Credit: GoodLinksNote that the app gives you free feature updates for one year after initial purchase. After that, you can continue to use GoodLinks with the features you paid for. If you want additional features developed in the future, you can pay $5/year to access that. The app already has almost all the features you'd need, though, so this business model isn't going to lock out any essentials.
Readwise Reader: The best read-later service for power users
Credit: ReadwiseThe service also gives you an email address to subscribe to newsletters, and you can also use it to follow RSS feeds of the publications you love. Readwise Reader is an all-in-one app that offers a lot more than just a read-later service, which is great for power users, but it can be overwhelming for someone who just wants to save the occasional article for weekend reading. Readwise Reader has a 30-day free trial, after which it costs $10/month.
Matter: For those who value newsletters above all else
Credit: MatterOther useful read-later services
There are a few other useful read-later apps and services that you might want to check out. These aren't as well-rounded as the picks above, but they're worth checking out for specific use cases.
Wallabag: This is an open-source read-later service that costs $12.5/year and lets you self-host the service, too. It has apps for Android and iPhone and native clients for Kindle and Kobo, so you can easily access saved articles.
Flyleaf: This is one of the best new read-later apps for Apple devices, and its free tier offers all the basics. There is an optional paid subscription ($17/year) if you want tagging and custom color schemes.
