In May, when Mozilla announced the shutdown of Pocket, I wrote a post about what I wanted from such service and shared my research into a few options.

I ended up choosing @wallabag and I've been really happy with my choice. It found its place as a perfect drop-in replacement for my workflow and I didn't miss a beat during the migration.

Pocket will shut down July 8, 2025.

Which alternative to Pocket should I choose?
As @TechCrunch said few months ago, @wallabag « is a strong competitor with article-saving tools and features as good as what Pocket offers. »

It was only 4 days ago

Last week, Mozilla announced their plans to shut down Pocket.

I spent the weekend exploring alternatives to see which ones match my needs and wrote about what I found in my blog.

A lot of options! And while not all met my needs, they may be good options for you.

Our #Pocket migration feature is almost ready to ship…

War schon bei #Pocket, als es noch #ReadItLater hieß. Nun muss ich mir also eine Alternative suchen. Mozilla gibt Pocket auf. Wohin nur, wohin?

Release 0.21.0 · hoarder-app/hoarder

https://github.com/hoarder-app/hoarder/releases/tag/v0.21.0

I became disillusioned with Pocket after they discontinued social sharing of saved articles. Now I'm just after migrating to Wallabag for my article reading. It's actually remarkably great.

It has full-text search out of the box, and pretty much all the same features as Pocket premium, but doesn't trap you in Yet Another Subscription. It does imports from major bookmarking players and browser bookmarks, and also has a decent API.

To easily import Readeck highlights into my notes in Emacs, I've created 'readel'. A couple of simple lines of code that use the Readeck API to insert highlights in Org-mode formatting.

If you're looking for an Omnivore alternative, don't forget that the Omnivore team published a blog post with our solution as a great option to replace it https://blog.omnivore.app/p/details-on-omnivore-shutting-down

We have an Omnivore import system.

You can selfhost wallabag on your own webserver and you can also subscribe to https://www.wallabag.it/en (11€ / year, or 30€ if you us).

@readeck

I’m looking for another bookmarking/save later service. Currently playing around with Hoarder but not set on it.

What does everyone think about these ones? Which one should I pick?

Whatever one you pick, let me know why in the comments. I’d like to know pros/cons.

Please BOOST for a wider audience and results.

I've downloaded my #Omnivore data. I was, therefore, wondering how I could import it to #Obsidian?

Nothing I've tried, thus far, has worked and there's no option in the official importer plugin.

The data was downloaded as individual HTML files, for the articles, and 5 JSON files.
