Pocket Alternative 2026: The Complete Guide After Pocket's Shutdown

Mozilla shut down Pocket on July 8, 2025, and later took the export tool offline, forcing users to move saved articles elsewhere.

The guide compares leading read-later and bookmarking alternatives, including Burn 451, Raindrop.io, Readwise Reader, Instapaper, Matter, Wallabag, Karakeep, and GoodLinks.

It focuses on practical factors like export support, free tiers, pricing, privacy, self-hosting, and developer features such as CLI and MCP integration.

The right replacement depends on whether you want simple bookmarking, serious reading, stronger privacy, or workflow integrations with tools like Claude and Cursor.
