Meet Folio: Your Pocket Replacement

If you loved Pocket, you’ll feel right at home. Folio is a thoughtful, modern replacement — and it’s ready today.

Meet Folio: Your Pocket Replacement

The day has come: Pocket has officially shut down.

If you’ve been following along, you knew this moment was coming. Pocket has officially shut down, leaving a lot of thoughtful readers looking for where to go next. That’s why we built Folio — a place for Pocket fans to land.

After weeks of working around the clock, Folio is ready!

Folio is a modern read-it-later app for people who love to save great stories, follow their curiosity, and come back to things when they’re ready. Whether it’s articles, videos, threads, or anything else you want to keep close, Folio gives you a beautiful space to save and return on your own time.

It works across iOS, Android, Web, and browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, and (soon) Safari.

If you’re coming from Pocket, you’ll feel right at home, but you’ll also notice things feel smoother, more flexible, and just… better. We’ve built Folio to be fast, focused, and easy to use.

And starting today, it’s open to everyone.

Bring Everything With You

We’ve made it easy to import your Pocket data — your saves, your tags, highlights, and even your archive. Just a few steps and you’re in. You can still export your data from Pocket until October, but now that the service has shut down, there’s no better time to make the move.

Save from Anywhere. Read on Your Terms.

Folio gives you everything you'd expect from a great read-it-later app:

  • Save from anywhere and sync across devices
  • A clean, focused reading view
  • Read offline, whenever you’re ready
  • Discover thoughtful reads from around the web

We’ve designed Folio to make saving feel good again. No guilt, no pressure, no inbox-zero (unless that's your thing!). It’s your space and you get to set the pace.

Try Premium and Help Shape What’s Next

Want to get the most out of your saves? Folio Premium adds powerful features for people who want more from their reading list:

  • Text-to-speech: Great voices, hands-free
  • Highlights: Mark ideas that matter as you read
  • Full-text search: Find anything you’ve saved, instantly
  • Custom fonts and spacing: Tune your reading experience

We’re still building out the full Premium feature set and early access is your chance to try what’s here and help shape what’s next. Features like smart summaries, personalized recommendations, and weekly roundups are already in the works.

Folio Premium is how we’ll support the app long-term. We’re not funded by ads or attention — we want to build something sustainable, with pricing that feels fair and accessible to as many people as possible.

We're Just Getting Started

To everyone who joined us during the private beta — thank you. Your feedback, encouragement, and early support helped us get here. And if you’re just discovering Folio today: welcome! We're excited for you to join us.

Folio is ready. Let’s go!
