Sometimes you only realize the value of a service when it’s gone. For me, that was Pocket.
I used it almost every day: save an article or page for later, keep things organized so I could come back when I had time. Pocket helped me navigate the daily flood of information.
Then, one day, the service came to an end.
If it doesn’t exist, build it
I looked for alternatives. Many were overloaded with features or felt complicated to use. None quite captured the simplicity Pocket had.
So I decided: if I can’t find what I want, I’ll make it myself.
That’s how Pokket was born.
Inspired by Pocket, built for today
Pokket is deeply inspired by Pocket, but it’s not a copy. I want to honor what made Pocket great while evolving it to fit how we read today.
One of those evolutions is AI summaries. Pokket can quickly summarize saved articles so you can grasp the key points faster—while keeping the overall experience simple and focused.
Built to keep going
Pokket is an indie project. Because it’s small, sustainability matters. I’m designing it so it can keep improving over time.
That’s why I’m introducing ads, and I’m considering a paid plan in the future. The goal is to keep Pokket reliable and continuously improving for people who use it every day.
A design you can care about
The app icon keeps a hint of Pocket’s feel, with an added eye to give it expression. It’s simple and friendly—something you might grow fond of seeing every day.
What Pokket stands for
Pokket isn’t a nostalgic clone. It’s a personal place for your information—a way to save simply and revisit easily.
Not just storing information, but turning it into your own knowledge. That’s the experience I’m aiming for with Pokket.
Pokket was created to make your read it later feel better. Give it a try and see the difference for yourself.
