I wrote my own: https://github.com/GeoffreyPlitt/saveit
Chrome extension and Android share-sheet (sorry, no iPhone yet).
Sends to a custom webhook over your choosing.
Works almost exactly like Pocket.

#142I’ve been working on my own Pocket replacement for the past few months. I was the head of product at Pocket in 2018/19, and ever since I left, I’ve had this itch to build my own version. Mozilla shutting it down finally gave me the excuse I needed. https://savewithfolio.com/ Folio lets you save articles from anywhere, has a lovely reading view, lets you listen to articles with some really nice text-to-speech voices,…
This is incredible and just what I wanted. Chrome extension and mobile app, and I could even seamlessly import all my pocket data direct from pocket. Absolutely using this. I don't tend to read things offline as much since internet is everywhere now, but I love having all my bookmarks in a nice browsable format with tagging.

Android app not available in my country - India. Not I was able to install via Aurora store. Firefox Addon not available. Hope I am able to install soon and can use it on Firefox browser.
Sorry, it's not available via the Aurora store. I'm going to do another release tonight – I'll make sure India is enabled in the Play Store. I don't think there are any limitations on the Firefox Add-on:

#145I like Reeder. It has some things I'd change, especially around the reading view, but I hate having different apps for everything and will trade a few features for streamlining. With this I can read my RSS feeds, social feeds, Reddit feeds, etc. all in one place and save articles for reading later either through all those feeds or other page from around the web with the Save Link feature. Price is right at a buck/month subscription. https://reederapp.com/

#146I don't trust other entities to care as much about the articles I've saved and curated over the years as I do, so I self-hosted wallabag for years and recently moved to Readeck. There are wallabag hosters for those who'd rather avoid self-hosting, but I don't know of one for Readeck yet.

#148I have a little side project I started a couple years ago for this: https://linksort.com/ I work on it when I can. I'd like to add an import from Pocket feature but I haven't had a free weekend in a while. The project is fully open source: https://github.com/linksort/linksort
Actually, now you can import from Pocket. I used Codex and Claude Code to put this feature together in an hour or so :)

#149Since Pocket’s sunset, I switched to Raindrop.io —clean UI, solid tagging, and open API. For devs, Wallabag (self-hostable) is great, though setup takes effort.
If you’re building your own, consider:
Simplified archiving (just URLs + highlights)
Offline-first (PWA works)
AI tagging (auto-categorize saves)Re: Ask HN: What Pocket alternatives did you move to?
#150Instapaper is rock solid for me. I basically use it as a "save for offline reading on iPad" feature, and it works exactly as it should. Pocket was much worse in my experience.
