Switch from Pocket to Linkbry

Mozilla shut Pocket down in 2025, and its export went with it. If you downloaded your export before it closed, those links don't have to sit in a zip file: Linkbry imports it directly, keeping titles, tags and the dates you saved each link.

Last updated

Quick answer

Upload your Pocket export file (the CSV inside the .zip Pocket sent you) in Linkbry under Workspace settings → Import & export. Titles, tags and original save dates come across; duplicates are skipped.

  1. Find the export Pocket gave you. It's usually a .zip file; unzip it to get the CSV file inside.
  2. Sign in to Linkbry and open Workspace settings → Import & export (or press ⌘K and choose Import).
  3. Choose the CSV file. Linkbry reads Pocket's column names (url, title, tags, time_added) without any editing.
  4. Review the summary: how many links were imported, how many were duplicates and how many didn't fit your plan.
  5. Sort the imported links into folders with bulk actions — select many at once and move or tag them together.

What carries over

TagsImported (Pocket's | separated tags are split)
Date savedKept — links keep their original save date

HighlightsNot in Pocket's CSV, so not imported

Imports take up to 20,000 links (10 MB) per file, skip links already in the workspace, and stop at your plan's link limit. Export steps for other tools are described in general terms; their menus may differ.

Which Pocket file to use

Pocket's newer export was a CSV file, usually delivered inside a .zip. That's the one to use: it carries titles, tags and the time each link was added. Older Pocket exports were a single HTML page; Linkbry can read the links, titles and tags from that too, but not the save dates, so prefer the CSV if you have both.

What changes when you move to Linkbry

Pocket was a personal read-later list. Linkbry is a shared link library: the links you import can live in a workspace your team can search, organized in nested folders with tags and a note on each link.

  • Search matches titles, URLs, descriptions, notes and the captured text of the page
  • Reader view shows the captured text of saved articles
  • Assign a link to a teammate to read, and see when they've done it
  • Highlights: keep several passages on a link from the Chrome extension
  • Insert any saved link into Slack, Gmail or Notion by typing ;;

Where Linkbry is not a Pocket replacement

If what you miss is reading on your phone, Linkbry isn't it: there are no native iOS or Android apps, and no offline reading. Linkbry keeps the readable text of a page for search and a reader view, not a full offline copy. For a personal read-later app on mobile, a dedicated reader will serve you better; Linkbry is for the links a team needs to find again.

Frequently asked questions

Can I still export from Pocket?

No — Pocket's export closed when the service shut down. This guide is for people who downloaded their export in time.

How many Pocket links can I import?

Up to 20,000 links (10 MB) per file, within your plan's link limit. The Free plan holds 100 links; Linkbry imports what fits and tells you how many it skipped.

Will my Pocket tags become folders?

No, they stay tags. Pocket had no folders, so links arrive unfiled; select them in bulk to move them into folders, or keep using tags.
