If you’re a longtime Pocket user, this one might sting.
Mozilla has officially announced that Pocket is shutting down on July 8, 2025. After that date, you’ll only be able to export your bookmarks — and that export option will be removed by October 8, 2025. After that, all your saved content will be permanently deleted.
📌 TL;DR: You need to migrate your data ASAP.
Luckily, there’s a better place to go — and it’s designed for the way we consume content in 2025. It’s called Save for Later, and it’s already helping thousands of readers move beyond Pocket’s limits.
🚨 Why Is Pocket Shutting Down?#
Pocket was once the go-to for anyone who wanted to save articles for later reading. But according to Pocket’s farewell announcement , Mozilla is sunsetting the app to focus on their core browser efforts.
Here’s the timeline:
- ❌ May 22, 2025: Pocket apps and extensions removed from stores
- 🛑 July 8, 2025: Pocket shuts down
- 💾 October 8, 2025: Last day to export your bookmarks
After that? Everything’s gone.
🧠 What to Look for in a Pocket Alternative#
If you’ve relied on Pocket for years, you’re probably asking:
“What app can I trust with all this saved content?”

Here’s how to move everything over:
