Pocket has shut down
Mozilla shut Pocket down on July 8, 2025. You could export your saved links until November 12, 2025, and after that date the data was deleted. If you exported in time, you have a file with the links you saved. If you did not, the list is gone.
Inoreader is an RSS reader with a read later list built in. You save articles from your feeds and pages from anywhere on the web, and they wait under Saved until you have time for them. Read later is free on every plan, with no limit on how much you save.

What works differently in Inoreader
Inoreader is a feed reader first. Read later sits under Saved, next to the folders of websites, newsletters and channels you follow, so your reading list and your feeds share one app. If you only want a reading list, you can use Saved on its own and add feeds later, or never.
Inoreader does not import Pocket's export file, and it has no native Mac or Windows app. On a computer, you use Inoreader in the browser and save pages with the extension.
What Inoreader adds to a reading list
New articles without a visit
Follow the sites you used to save from, and their new articles reach you as they are published. With Pro, a rule can also save the articles that match your keywords straight to Read later.
The whole article in the reader
When a feed sends only a teaser, click Load full content and the whole article appears in the reader. Loading it is free, and with Pro it stays with the article. Read more about full content.
Search across everything you kept
You can search Read later, the Archive and your saved web pages the same way you search a feed, so an article you saved months ago is easy to find. Read more about search.
Your articles in the tools you already use
Send any article to Evernote, OneNote, Raindrop.io, Instapaper, Readwise, Google Drive or Dropbox with one click, together with your tags and highlights where the service accepts them. Read more about saving to other services.
How to move from Pocket to Inoreader
- Create a free Inoreader account, then install the browser extension for Chrome, Firefox or Edge and the app on your phone.
- If you exported your list from Pocket, open the file and pick the articles you still want to read.
- For each of them, open Read later in Inoreader, click Add and paste the article's address. Inoreader shows you a preview before it saves the page.
- If the list is too long to go through, start fresh. Save new articles with the Save icon, the F key or the extension as you come across them.
- Follow the sites you saved from most often, so their new articles come to you without a visit.
