Pocket alternative
Pocket shut down. Here's where to keep your links.
Mozilla retired Pocket in 2025. StashSync is an offline-first place for the links you save — plus the notes and files that go with them — all private and yours by default.

What happened to Pocket?
Mozilla shut down Pocket on July 8, 2025, ending the read-it-later service it acquired in 2017. Users could export their saved data for a few months, and all remaining data was permanently deleted on November 12, 2025. If you relied on Pocket, you need a new home for the links you save — ideally one that lets you take your data with you.
What to look for in a replacement
The Pocket shutdown is a reminder: pick a tool that keeps your data portable and available offline.
Works offline
Read and organize your saved links without a connection — not locked behind a server.
Real bookmark management
Tags, search, and a browser clipper, so saved links are easy to find again.
Notes & files too
Keep your thoughts and documents next to the links they relate to, not in a separate app.
Export & no lock-in
Open formats and one-click export, so you're never trapped if the service changes.
Where StashSync fits
Be honest about how you used Pocket. If you only want a distraction-free read-it-later reader, Instapaper and Raindrop.io are the closest one-to-one swaps.
But most people saved links and jotted notes and kept the odd file — across several apps. StashSync puts all three in one offline-first workspace: a built-in bookmark manager with tags and search, rich notes, and file storage, with sync and public sharing included. Your data lives on your device by default — so a future shutdown can never take it from you.

Pocket alternative — FAQ
Is Pocket really gone?
Yes. Mozilla shut Pocket down on July 8, 2025. Exports were available for a few months afterward, and all remaining user data was permanently deleted on November 12, 2025.
What's the best Pocket alternative?
It depends on what you used Pocket for. For pure read-it-later, Instapaper and Raindrop.io are the closest swaps. If you'd rather keep your saved links together with notes and files in one private, offline-first workspace, that's exactly what StashSync does.
Can I import my old Pocket data into StashSync?
If you exported your Pocket data as HTML before the November 2025 deletion, you can import that standard bookmark file into StashSync. If you didn't export in time, unfortunately that data is permanently gone — Pocket deleted it.
Is StashSync free?
Yes — there's a free-forever plan with no credit card required. Pro adds more storage and higher limits, at $47.88/year.
Does StashSync work offline like Pocket did?
Yes. StashSync is offline-first: your saved links, notes, and files are stored locally on your device and work without a connection, then sync across your devices when you're back online.
