Readit

Pocket shut down. Your reading list doesn't have to.

I was a heavy Pocket user. When Mozilla closed it, I tried the alternatives, watched a couple of those shut down too, and then built the tool I actually wanted. Readit is a free read-it-later app: save what you find, read it in a clean reader, listen to it on a walk.

What moves over from Pocket

• Every saved link, with its title
• Your tags
• Read / unread status
• Original save dates, so your history stays intact

Upload the CSV from Pocket's export, and articles re-parse in the background into clean, readable, listenable pages. Instapaper exports work too.

What Readit does

• Clean reader view, no ads, dark mode, offline PWA
• Listen to any article with natural voices, free
• Save from anywhere: browser extension, share sheet, bookmarklet, email
• Paywalled pages save from your own browser tab, so they just work
• One handpicked essay a day, if you want it
• Public collections to share what's worth keeping

The honest part

Readit is built and run by one person, and it's new. Things will occasionally break, and I'll fix them. It's free, the browser extension is open source, and your data exports anytime from Settings, because I know exactly how it feels when a reading app disappears.

Also switching from Omnivore, Matter, or Instapaper? The importer takes any CSV or list of links.
