Pocket App Shuts Down; Export Your Data by Oct. 8, 2025
Pocket, the popular read‑it‑later service, has announced that users must export their saved content by October 8, 2025. The deadline applies to all items stored in the platform, including articles, lists, archived posts, favorites, notes and highlights. Users who wish to preserve their collections can do so through the export feature in the Pocket app or on the web interface, which generates a downloadable file containing the full history of saved items.
The move follows a broader industry trend toward data portability and user control over personal information. By providing a straightforward export option, Pocket aims to help users maintain access to their reading libraries even if they decide to switch services or discontinue the app. The export file format is compatible with common data tools, allowing users to import their collections into other note‑taking or reading applications with minimal effort.
Pocket has urged its community to act before the cutoff date, noting that any items not exported by October 8, 2025 may become inaccessible. The company’s support team remains available to assist with the export process and to answer questions about data migration.
