Pocket is gone. Your reading habit doesn't have to be.
Mozilla shut down Pocket in 2025. Screvi gives you a new home for saving articles, highlighting what matters, and actually getting back to the things you saved.

The rise and fall of Pocket
2007
Read It Later launches as a Firefox extension, one of the first apps built around saving web content for later.
2012
Rebrands to Pocket, expands to iOS and Android, and becomes the go-to read-it-later app.
2015
Pocket reaches 20 million users and integrates directly into Firefox.
2017
Mozilla acquires Pocket. The service becomes part of the Firefox ecosystem.
2023
Mozilla lays off staff and begins deprioritizing Pocket in favor of Firefox-centric features.
2025
Mozilla announces Pocket's shutdown. Apps, extensions, and the web service are discontinued. Content recommendations continue in Firefox's New Tab page only.
What Pocket users lost
Pocket did a few things really well: one-click saving from any browser, a clean reading view, and a personal archive you could search later. Millions of people built reading habits around it.
With Pocket gone, those saved articles are stuck in an export file. The browser extension is dead. The mobile apps stopped syncing. If you relied on Pocket to keep track of long reads, research links, or just interesting stuff you found during the day, you need somewhere new to put all of that.
Screvi was built for exactly this kind of reading workflow. You save articles and web pages, highlight the parts that matter, and organize everything into collections. Your reading library is searchable, syncs across devices, and won't disappear because a parent company changed direction.
What happened to Pocket's features?
Mozilla kept Pocket's content recommendation engine alive inside Firefox's New Tab page (that's the "Recommended by Pocket" section you may still see). But the save-for-later service, the apps, the browser extension, and the API are all gone. If you want to save and organize your own reading, you need a standalone tool.

Why Screvi works for former Pocket users
Familiar save-and-read workflow
Save from any browser with the extension, then read in a clean, distraction-free view. It feels a lot like Pocket did, because the core idea was right.
Highlights that stick
Pocket added highlighting late and never really nailed it. In Screvi, highlights and notes are first-class. Select text, save it, find it later.
Your library, searchable
Full-text search across everything you've saved. No more scrolling through a long list hoping to spot the right article.
Works on every device
Web app, iOS, Android, and browser extensions. Your reading list follows you without thinking about it.
Newsletter support
Something Pocket never offered: forward newsletters to your Screvi inbox and read them alongside your saved articles.
Independently funded
Screvi isn't a side project inside a larger company; it's the whole product. No corporate reshuffling is going to pull the plug.
No surprise shutdowns
Screvi is an independent, self-funded product, not a feature inside someone else's platform. There's no parent company that might decide to "focus on other priorities" and discontinue the service. Your reading library is safe here.
