Just learned that POCKET will shut down in July 2025. It is a great service to collect articles on various devices and read later on a tablet & offline.

Which alternatives are out there?

    • Readeck is kind of a ‘read it later’ app.
    • Karakeep is for saving data like web sites etc, that you’d like to preserve the content thereof.
    • LinkWarden is for links, bookmarks tho you can use it like Readeck.
    • Walabag: I’ve never used it but I’ve heard good things about it.

      It’s a downright dirty shame no devs have taken on Raindrop. It’s a slick little app.

        It’s still worth using, IMO. They present themselves as very privacy respecting and technologically savvy. I can say after years of using it, it feels that way. They never get in my way and consistently release quality, stable updates.

      I went with Readeck a few months ago. It’s a nice solution between the barebones ones and those that have all the features.

        I use Readeck as well. My only complaint about Readeck is there really is no ‘one click, backup/export’ option. You can, however, download all the zip files it makes along with the db, and transfer it to another server. I know you can import bookmarks from Firefox, and you can export the epub, but you can’t export all of your saves. At least I’ve never found a way beyond just downloading the full db and zips.

        I just set up Readeck today. I’ve never used pocket or anything of the sort but it’s already proving pretty useful. I tend to do a lot of 100%/platinum runs of various games and I’ve been tossing guide bookmarks in a folder for ages, this is a great way to sort those out

        I ended up on Readeck as well, very sleek interface, perfect for sharing articles via public links, self-hosting it was very easy to set up.

      I’ll throw another recommendation behind Karakeep. The fact I can share a page fromy mobile browser or use a browser extension on a laptop/desktop is excellent.

      Another great thing for me is the oidc support so I can log in without passwords and rely on my Pocket ID instance and log in using a passkey. (Authelia, Authentic, Keycloak and similar identity providers would work too)

      I have no idea why the fucking docker instance refuses to work. I’ve tried so many times…

        Post it! Let’s see what’s up.

        I’ve been using the docker for ages but there was a SQL update command I had to do at one point (I didn’t RTFM) but other than that, smooth sailing.

        Even has a Koreader plugin.

      I’ve mostly loved it too but I’d really like to have something that had lower RAM usage. I only have a few hundred entries and right now my container stack is using ~620Mb. Just seems rather high for what it’s doing/does. Are you finding the same kind of usage?

        That’s definitely fair. I’ll admit its not the lightest on ram but it hasn’t gone crazy on me yet. With that said, I’m running if on a home lab k3s, and haven’t remotely flirted with running out of ram

        I’m also using the hell out of it all the time, so I don’t mind it using what needs right now.

        FWIW, with 3000 links, my container users 787 MB of ram. I don’t think that’s crazy considering what it’s doing during the archiving process

      I’ve just started using linkwarden and love it as well. I chose it over Karakeep because it archives a copy of the page so it’s still accessible if the original page is modified or becomes inaccessible in the future.

    Currently trying Readeck.

    Karakeep is also popular, but doesn’t default to an article view which I prefer.

    Wallabag looks good, but I had difficulty getting its docker setup
