Pocket will no longer be available after July 8, 2025.

You can continue using the app and browser extensions until this date. After July 8, Pocket will move into export-only mode. Users can export saves anytime until October 8, 2025, after which user data will be permanently deleted. Why is Pocket shutting down?

Pocket has helped millions save articles and discover stories worth reading. But the way people use the web has evolved, so we’re channeling our resources into projects that better match their browsing habits and online needs.

For me it's not to be true. I found it useful sharing links from time to time with my phone.

If you use Signal it has a note to self feature which is really similar functionally to something like Pocket.

My Kobo has (er, had) Pocket support, so it was nice, in theory, to save something to Pocket in FF and have it sync to my e-reader. That said, it was kind of glitchy and a lot of sites didn't seem to work well with it (typically documentation pages for things like Oracle, etc that I'd want to save for offline reference).
