A Pocket alternative for the articles you still want to read.
Pocket closed on July 8, 2025. If you miss having one place for the articles you find, Readr is building a quieter read-later home: save from Chrome or iOS, read on the web or your phone, and come back to the ideas worth keeping.
Pocket's closure date comes from Mozilla's announcement.
Private beta · Early access on web and iOS
The point was never to collect more links.
A good reading list helps you return to a piece when you have the attention for it. Readr keeps the saving step quick, then gives the reading itself room to breathe. Articles open in a clean view with type, spacing, and themes you can adjust. Your progress follows you between the web and iOS app, so a half-finished piece stays half-finished rather than becoming another forgotten tab.
The library is more than a queue. Highlight a passage, keep a note with it, bookmark a piece you want to revisit, and search the words inside saved articles when you remember an idea but not its title. These are tools for finding your way back, not another stream of recommendations to keep up with.
What you can do in Readr
- Save articles from the iOS Share Sheet or use the Chrome extension while browsing.
- Read in a distraction-free view on the web or iOS, with adjustable typography.
- Highlight and bookmark passages, then find them again with full-text search.
- Listen to articles with text-to-speech when reading has to wait.
- Clip a page from your browser tab when a server cannot fetch it directly.
What to know before joining
Readr is in private beta, so joining the waitlist is not instant access. There is no Pocket-data import or one-click transfer: you would start a new library by saving the articles you encounter now. Readr also does not try to replace Pocket's curated discovery feed. It is built around the reading you choose for yourself.
The current app is on web and iOS, with a Chrome extension for clipping. We are not promising an Android app, a migration tool, or support for every paywalled page. If a page resists server-side fetching, clipping from your own open tab is the fallback.
Starting fresh after Pocket
Readr cannot restore a former Pocket library. Mozilla ended Pocket's export window in October 2025, and Readr does not currently import an export you saved before then. If carrying over an existing archive is essential, this is not yet a direct replacement.
- Join the waitlist. Readr is in private beta. An email on the list does not create an account immediately; we will invite you when a place opens.
- Save the next article you actually want to read. Once invited, use the iOS Share Sheet on your phone or the Chrome extension on your computer. You do not need to rebuild a backlog before the reader is useful.
- Make the saved piece yours. Set comfortable type and a theme, pick up your place across web and iOS, and highlight a line worth returning to. Search helps you find that thought later; text-to-speech gives you another way to finish a long article.
This is a smaller promise than a full Pocket migration, on purpose. If you mainly need a new home for articles you discover now, it gives you a deliberate path from saving to reading. If you need an Android app, a discovery feed, or a restored Pocket archive today, Readr is not the right fit yet.
Make room for the next good article.
