What is a good alternative to Pocket?
Pocket shut down on July 8, 2025, so former users need a new place for what they read. Qind is a good alternative if you save articles to find them again later. It keeps articles, PDFs and notes in one library, tags them for you and answers your questions with links to the articles it used.
What happened to Pocket
Mozilla decided to phase out Pocket, and the service shut down on July 8, 2025. That included the Pocket web, Android, iOS and macOS apps and the Pocket browser extensions. Mozilla’s announcement said users could export their saves until October 8, 2025, after which their data would be permanently deleted.
How Qind fits former Pocket users
Qind is a personal library for what you save. The web clipper for Chrome, Edge and Firefox saves the page you are on. Qind tags it and files it into a collection when it is sure. When you want something back, you ask in plain language. The answer shows the saved articles it came from, with a link to each one. You can also get a short summary of any article.
The library takes more than articles. Notes, PDFs, images and audio go into the same place, and uploaded Word and PowerPoint files can be searched and asked about too. Paid plans add a weekly or monthly digest of what you saved. Through Qind’s MCP server, Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients can search and ask your library.
When another option is the better choice
- You read mostly on your phone. Pocket had Android and iOS apps, and Qind’s iPhone and Android apps are not yet released.
- You save from Safari. The Qind web clipper works in Chrome, Edge and Firefox, not Safari.
- You want saved articles available offline. Qind has no offline mode on the web.
- You only want a simple way to keep tabs and links in Firefox. Mozilla points former Pocket users to Firefox Tab Groups and enhanced bookmarks.
Moving from Pocket
The export deadline has passed, so the only Pocket data you can still use is an export file you downloaded before it. Qind has no Pocket import. Use the file as a checklist, open the articles you still want and save them with the Qind web clipper. If you have no export file, start a new library by saving articles as you read them. Each article you save is tagged, and you can ask questions about it.

How to migrate from Pocket
-
Find your export file, if you have one
If you exported your Pocket saves before the deadline, find that file on your computer. The export deadline has passed, and Mozilla said data would be permanently deleted after it, so a new export is not possible.
-
Use it as a checklist
Treat the export as your list of articles to bring back. Qind has no Pocket import.
-
Save the articles again
Open each article you still want and save it with the Qind web clipper for Chrome, Edge or Firefox. Start with the ones you refer to most. If you have no export file, start a new library by saving articles as you read them.
-
Ask about what you saved
Qind tags each article and files it into a collection when it is sure. You can ask questions across them and get a short summary of any one.
