Which alternative to Pocket should I choose?

Mon, 23 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

With Pocket shutting down, what’s next for read-it-later fans?

For years, Pocket has been a service for saving articles to read later—clean interface, multi-device syncing, and offline access. So when Mozilla announced it was discontinuing Pocket, it sent many readers scrambling for an alternative.

If you’re wondering where to go next, you’re not alone. Let’s explore the best options—and why wallabag.it might be your best choice.

Some alternatives

Several services have been present in the “read-it-later” ecosystem for many years:

« Reading blogs on my Kobo e-reader via wallabag » by Jan Ouwens

Wed, 04 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Jan Ouwens was a user of Pocket. Now he is a satisfied customer of wallabag.it.

wallabag is a FOSS tool that you can self-host, or you can use their instance for a small fee. I chose the latter, because I’m lazy, I like supporting small FOSS developers, and everything is hosted safely in Europe.

He shared a tutorial on his blog: « Reading blogs on my Kobo e-reader via wallabag ».

New website for wallabag.it

Sun, 01 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

wallabag.it was born in 2016 and the website hasn’t changed since this date.

No big changes. The main one is that it’s not hosted on the same webserver anymore than the web application available on app.wallabag.it. Like that, if the service encounters some issues, the website is still available.

The RSS feed has changed, the URL is now https://wallabag.it/en/blog/announcements/index.xml but there is a redirection between the old URL and the new one.

Welcome to Pocket users!

How to learn a foreign language thanks to wallabag

As you know, wallabag is an application to save and archive web articles. It’s so useful if you don’t have time to read articles and if you want to be sure to keep a version of a web page (did you already imagine if your favorite website suddenly closes?).

With wallabag, you can save an article from your computer (thanks to our browser addons) and read it on your smartphone (thanks to our smartphone applications).

After a few weeks, it’s time to take stock

Tue, 20 Dec 2016 00:00:00 +0000

I started wallabag 4 years ago. It was a personal project. Today, this application — to save web articles and read them later on your computer, your smartphone, your tablet or even your ereader — is used by hundreds of people.

Quickly, wallabag took me more and more time. I decided to try to work officially for this project. That’s why wallabag.it was born.

For few euros per year (€12), you have an account with all the wallabag features. No need to install the application, no need to configure it: all is done for you.
