A Pocket alternative for the things you save on social media
Short answer
Mozilla shut down Pocket in 2025, so many people are looking for a new “save for later” app. If you mostly save long articles, a dedicated read-it-later app is the closest replacement. If your saves are now mostly Reels, TikToks, YouTube videos and screenshots, Restash is a better fit: it saves from every app, reads video and images, and lets you ask your saves in plain English.
Save-for-later moved from articles to videos. The tools need to move too.
Save for later — including videos. Download Restash.
Download on the App StoreWhat Pocket did well
- One-tap saving from browser and share sheet.
- A clean list of things to read later.
- Tags for rough organization.
What changed
Much of what people save now is not an article. It is a 30-second recipe, a workout demo, a travel tip or a screenshot. Read-it-later apps were built for text and struggle with those.
