Summary

  • Pocket, a read-it-later service allowing users to save online content to view later, will shut down on 8 July 2025, its parent company Mozilla has announced.
  • Signups for new accounts have already been stopped.
  • To help users migrate their saved content, Mozilla has created a dedicated export page.
  • The page allows users to create an HTML file of their saved URLs and titles, which is emailed to them.
  • This export option will close on 8 October 2025, after which all user data will be deleted.
  • Mozilla cited changing user browsing habits as the reason for Pocket’s retirement, as well as the company’s desire to focus on its browser and other tools.
  • Pocket’s newsletter offerings will continue through a new newsletter called Ten Tabs.
