Pocket shut down in 2025

The Pocket alternative
built by a Pocket obsessive

I used Pocket every day from 2012 until Mozilla shut it down. I built Trove because nothing that came after it closed the loop. Import your history and pick up where you left off, with intelligence Pocket never had.

Free to start. Import takes under 2 minutes.

What people said when Pocket shut down

I immediately started wailing when I saw it. I use the Pocket Chrome extension almost daily.

I'm grieving. I used this feature nearly every day and loved it. It's the end of an era.

Kind of bittersweet. I loved Pocket when I was a broke student. I'd download long-form articles and read for hours. RIP nonetheless.

Pocket was brilliant at capture. It just never did anything with what you saved. Trove closes the loop.

“I've been chasing the perfect bookmarking tool since Delicious in 2003. Pocket was the closest thing that ever existed. When it died, I stopped waiting for someone else to build the version I wished existed.”

Trove has everything Pocket had: the frictionless save, the clean reading experience, the ritual of a personal list. And everything it never got around to building. Your saves finally do something. They reveal your taste, synthesise your reading, show you who you're becoming.

Your Pocket saves deserve better than a hard drive.
