Readeck instead of Pocket

1,166 stars on Codeberg Latest commit on October 23, 2026 More about Readeck

Pocket shut down in July 2025. Here you keep reading later — without the list belonging to someone else, and without saved pages vanishing when the source goes offline.

What you get out of it

  • Saved pages stay readable even when the original disappears
  • No service that shuts down overnight and takes your list with it
  • Reading mode without ads and without trackers

Bringing your data over from Pocket

If you exported your list from Pocket, Readeck and Karakeep both read the file directly.

Also fits

  • If you mostly collect: links, notes and images with a full copy of every page and search across all of it.
