In May 2025, Mozilla declared the shutdown of its read-it-later app Pocket, which had been acquired in 2017. With changes in web browsing habits, Mozilla plans to reallocate resources towards other ventures. Pocket users will need to export their data by October 8, 2025, and seek alternatives for saving articles. Options like Matter, which includes features for listening to articles, and Instapaper, allow users to save content at no cost, providing potential solutions for those affected by Pocket's closure.
In May 2025, Mozilla announced it would shut down Pocket, urging users to transition to other reading apps before the October deadline for exporting their data.
Matter, a Google Ventures-backed app, offers features like audio reading of articles and podcast transcriptions, providing a personal discount for Pocket users migrating to their platform.
