Pocket alternative
Pocket is gone. Your links deserve a home.
Mozilla shut Pocket down in July 2025. If you downloaded your export, those years of reading are still yours. Resources turns that file into boards you can browse, search, and share.
Free · private by default · reads the ZIP as Pocket sent it
Find your export
The ZIP or CSV file Pocket emailed you before November 12, 2025. No account access needed, the file is enough.
Upload it
Resources reads the file in your browser and creates one board with your To read and Archive lists. Private by default.
Keep saving
The Chrome extension saves any page into a board in one click, with an AI suggesting where it belongs.
The fidelity question
What survives the import.
Your export holds more than links. It remembers when you saved each one, and which you had read. Where you take the file decides how much of that survives.
- titleThe resource's title
- urlThe resource itself, favicon included

Beyond the import
Everything Pocket did. Then the part it never did.
Pocket was a drawer: save now, read later, alone. Resources keeps the drawer and adds the shelf. Boards by topic, public when you choose, that people can follow and revisit.

Your export is not a backup. It is years of taste, waiting for a shelf.
Questions
Asked by people holding an export file.
What happened to Pocket?
Mozilla shut Pocket down on July 8, 2025. The site stayed in export-only mode until November 12, 2025, when exports and the API were disabled and all user data was queued for permanent deletion.
Can I still recover my Pocket saves?
Only from an export you already downloaded. If you saved your export before November 12, 2025, the ZIP or CSV file on your computer contains your full list: titles, URLs, save dates, and read status. Resources imports that file as is.
How does the import work?
Upload your Pocket export (ZIP or CSV) on the import page. Resources creates one board with two lists, To read and Archive, matching your Pocket statuses. The board is private by default; making it public is your choice.
Can I import browser bookmarks too?
Yes. Export your bookmarks from Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge as an HTML file and upload it. Each bookmark folder becomes a list.
Do my save dates and read status survive the import?
Yes. Resources reads the time_added column and keeps it as each resource's save date. Your unread and archived items land in two lists, To read and Archive. Raindrop's generic CSV import drops both.
Which tools accept the Pocket ZIP as is?
Resources, Readwise Reader, and Karakeep read the ZIP Pocket emailed you, no unzipping needed. Raindrop has no dedicated Pocket flow: the file must be unzipped and converted, and save dates and read status are lost on the way.
Is Resources free?
Yes. Creating boards, importing your links, and saving new ones with the browser extension are free.
How is Resources different from Pocket?
Pocket was a private reading list. Resources keeps the private reading list and adds the part Pocket never had: boards you can share, so the links you curate can be useful to someone else. No feed, no ranking. You browse a board when you decide to.
From file to library
Years of reading, back on a shelf.
The import takes a minute. The board is private until you decide otherwise.
