Read-it-later app Pocket shut down — here are the best alternatives
“稍后阅读”应用 Pocket 已关停 — 以下是最佳替代方案
In May 2025, Mozilla announced that it was shutting down the popular read-it-later app Pocket, which it had acquired back in 2017 for an undisclosed amount. That led to a growing demand for alternative apps that could help people save online content, particularly longer articles, that they want to read later when they have more time. 2025 年 5 月,Mozilla 宣布关停其在 2017 年以未公开金额收购的知名“稍后阅读”应用 Pocket。这一举动引发了用户对替代应用的需求激增,人们需要这些工具来保存在线内容(尤其是长文章),以便在有空时阅读。
While Mozilla exited the business, saying the way people are browsing the web is changing, the shutdown boosted adoption of a number of other apps, like Matter, Instapaper, and Raindrop.io, among others. It’s supporting the creation of new, indie alternatives, as well. Many of the apps will support imports. However, Pocket users only had until October 8, 2025, to export their saved articles and other items, including lists, archives, favorites, notes, and highlights. Below are the read-it-later alternatives that are picking up where Pocket left off. 尽管 Mozilla 表示因人们浏览网页的方式正在改变而退出该业务,但此次关停反而推动了 Matter、Instapaper 和 Raindrop.io 等其他应用的使用率。同时,这也促进了新的独立替代产品的诞生。许多应用都支持导入功能。不过,Pocket 用户仅能在 2025 年 10 月 8 日之前导出其保存的文章及其他项目,包括列表、存档、收藏、笔记和高亮内容。以下是接替 Pocket 的“稍后阅读”替代方案。
Matter
Matter
Matter is a GV-backed company that makes an eponymous iOS app along with browser extensions for Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. The app lets you listen to articles and transcribes your favorite podcasts. Though the app itself is free to use, you can pay $79.99 per year to unlock features like improved transcriptions for podcasts and YouTube videos, tools to adjust reading speed, and additional integrations with other apps like notes apps, Gmail, and Kindle.

In March 2025, the company also added an AI-powered co-reader to answer questions about different topics users might have while reading an article. 2025 年 3 月,该公司还增加了 AI 驱动的“共读助手”,旨在回答用户在阅读文章时可能产生的各类问题。
