Pocket Alternative

Your lightweight reading companion after Pocket

Pocket shut down in November 2025. If you're looking for a simple, privacy-first way to save articles and links — without the complexity of heavyweight alternatives — you're in the right place.

What happened to Pocket?

Mozilla discontinued Pocket in late 2025. The apps were removed, the browser extension stopped working, and the API was disabled. Millions of users were left without their go-to save-for-later tool.

If you exported your Pocket data before the shutdown, you're ahead. If not, you need a fresh start — and Pocket Pet makes that easy.

Why Pocket Pet?

What Pocket did well — without the overhead

Pocket was great because it was simple. We keep that simplicity and add a little personality.

One-click save

Save any page with one click. Title and favicon captured automatically. No forms, no friction.

Built-in notes

Pocket never had notes. Jot down thoughts, snippets, or drafts without leaving the page.

Truly private

No account, no server, no data collection. Everything stays in your browser. Pocket required an account.

Always there

The pet lives in the corner of every page. No new tab to open, no app to switch to. Save in-context.

A friendly face

Choose from 6 cute companions. Because saving links should bring a little joy, not just utility.

File storage

Pocket didn't store files. Drop PDFs, images, or docs right into the pet bubble. Up to 50 files, 10 MB each.

Heavyweight tools solve heavyweight problems. If you just need to save links and notes, you need Pocket Pet.
