Hello and welcome to Tech Tidbits—I’m your host, Alex. If you’ve grown tired of Pocket’s quirks, today’s episode highlights five excellent read-later apps to replace it.

First up, Instapaper. As the article calls it, “the granddaddy of read-later services,” Instapaper delivers a clean, distraction-free reading experience and lets you save articles for offline viewing.

Next is Pinboard, described as “a tiny, fast, vintage social bookmarking site.” It treats notes like first-class citizens, offers lightning-quick search, and integrates seamlessly with third-party tools.

Raindrop.io shines for visual bookmarkers. You get “nested collections, tags, and preview cards,” so your saved pages look as good organized as they do in your browser.

Then there’s Refind. Think of it as a personalized discovery feed—“the more you use it, the smarter it gets,” surfacing articles you actually want to read.

Finally, Wallabag offers an open-source, self-hosted alternative. With Wallabag, it’s all about “your data, your control,” no middleman required.

Those are your five top picks to replace Pocket. Happy reading, and catch you next time on Tech Tidbits!
