Pocket alternative

Pocket is gone. Your saves don't have to be.

Mozilla shut Pocket down in July 2025, and the reading lists of millions of people went with it. Flick saves links in one tap from any app's Share menu, and sends each one to a place you already own: your inbox, Slack or Discord.

  • Free for everyone
  • No ads, no password
  • Android, iPhone and desktop

The short answer

  • Flick saves from the Share menu in one tap, like Pocket did.
  • Each save arrives smarter than a link: a clear title, the gist, and recipe, place or video details.
  • It imports your Pocket export (CSV, HTML or JSON) with dates and tags intact.
  • It's free for everyone, with no ads.

How to switch from Pocket

  1. Find your Pocket export

    If you downloaded your data before Pocket closed, it's a CSV, HTML or JSON file, often in your Downloads folder or email.

  2. Install Flick and sign in

    Open Flick on your phone or computer, type your email and enter the 6-digit code.

  3. Import the file

    Open the import sheet and pick the file. Your saves keep their original dates, tags and archived state, and nothing is emailed.

  4. Keep saving

    From now on, Share then Flick sends new finds to your inbox in one tap.

Questions

Can I still export my Pocket saves?

Mozilla's export window has closed. If you saved the export file, Flick can import it. If not, look for Pocket's export email or the file in your Downloads folder.

Will importing email me hundreds of messages?

No. Imported saves go into your Flick history only. Nothing is emailed, and importing the same file twice never makes duplicates.

Does Flick have a reading list?

Your inbox is the reading list: every save arrives with a clear title, a picture and a one-line gist, and Gmail search finds it later. Old imports also resurface now and then on Flick's home screen.

Save it where you'll actually see it

Share once. It's in your inbox, Slack or Discord with a title you can search.
