Just learned that POCKET will shut down in July 2025. It is a great service to collect articles on various devices and read later on a tablet & offline.

Which alternatives are out there?

      I went with Readeck a few months ago. It’s a nice solution between the barebones ones and those that have all the features.

        I just set up Readeck today. I’ve never used pocket or anything of the sort but it’s already proving pretty useful. I tend to do a lot of 100%/platinum runs of various games and I’ve been tossing guide bookmarks in a folder for ages, this is a great way to sort those out

        I use Readeck as well. My only complaint about Readeck is there really is no ‘one click, backup/export’ option. You can, however, download all the zip files it makes along with the db, and transfer it to another server. I know you can import bookmarks from Firefox, and you can export the epub, but you can’t export all of your saves. At least I’ve never found a way beyond just downloading the full db and zips.

      It’s a downright dirty shame no devs have taken on Raindrop. It’s a slick little app.

        It’s still worth using, IMO. They present themselves as very privacy respecting and technologically savvy. I can say after years of using it, it feels that way. They never get in my way and consistently release quality, stable updates.

      I’ve just started using linkwarden and love it as well. I chose it over Karakeep because it archives a copy of the page so it’s still accessible if the original page is modified or becomes inaccessible in the future.

    Currently trying Readeck.

    Karakeep is also popular, but doesn’t default to an article view which I prefer.

    Wallabag looks good, but I had difficulty getting its docker setup

    I tried Hoarder (KaraKeep) & Linkwarden. Both excellent but I preferred the UI for Linkwarden, particularly on mobile, so I stuck with that - i found Hoarder awkward to edit thumbnails for example though things may have changed in KaraKeep. From Android perspective both have apps but I prefer to use browser plugin. With Linkwarden there’s some hoops to jump through on Android Firefox but it works perfectly once set up. Both excellent choices.

    • Readeck is kind of a ‘read it later’ app.
    • Karakeep is for saving data like web sites etc, that you’d like to preserve the content thereof.
    • LinkWarden is for links, bookmarks tho you can use it like Readeck.
    • Walabag: I’ve never used it but I’ve heard good things about it.
