Is Pocket really gone?

Yes. Mozilla shut Pocket down on July 8, 2025, and deleted all saved data on November 12, 2025. There is no way to recover saves that were not exported beforehand.

How do I get my Pocket data out?

If you exported your Pocket data before November 12, 2025, you have an HTML file with your links and tags. After that date the data was deleted and can no longer be retrieved.

Can I import Pocket into Stashr?

Stashr does not read Pocket's export file, and in any case Pocket deleted all saved data in November 2025, so for most people there is nothing left to import. What Stashr does is capture everything you save from here on and keep a permanent copy, so your new reading list stays safe.

What is the best Pocket alternative in 2026?

It depends on what you save. For social bookmarks across X, Reddit, Instagram, TikTok, and GitHub that you want kept forever and searchable, Stashr is built for exactly that.

Stashr vs Pocket

Pocket was Mozilla's read-it-later app, but it shut down on July 8, 2025, and deleted all saved data that November. Stashr is the Pocket alternative built so that cannot happen again: it saves any article with one right-click, keeps its own copy of everything you save, and captures automatically across X, Reddit, Instagram, TikTok, and GitHub.

Common questions

The verdict

If you mostly saved long articles to read later, Stashr covers that with a right-click on any page, though a dedicated reader app has more reading comforts like highlights. Either way, Pocket's shutdown is the cautionary tale: the safest home for your saves is one that keeps its own copy no matter what happens to the company behind it. Stashr does exactly that and captures new saves automatically across X, Reddit, Instagram, TikTok, and GitHub. For a save-for-later tool you can trust to still be there in five years, Stashr is the better bet.
