Looking for a Pocket alternative?
Mozilla closed Pocket in July 2025 and a lot of people are still looking for somewhere to put the links they find. ceevo is one option. Here is what it does, what it does not do, and who it suits.
If you used Pocket as a reading app, with the stripped-down article view and the listen feature, ceevo is not that. If you used Pocket as the place links went so you would not lose them, ceevo does that job with less noise, and it lets you share a folder as a page.
- Saving
- Browser extension, share sheet, email.
- Paste a link or write a note on the web. Share to ceevo from any app on your phone.
- Organising
- Tags and a single list.
- One level of folders you name yourself. Flat on purpose.
- Reading
- Clean article view and text-to-speech.
- No reader view. ceevo opens the original page.
- Sharing
- Send a single item to someone.
- Any folder becomes a public page under your name with one switch.
- Notes
- Not really. Highlights on articles.
- Notes are first-class: a note lives next to the links in the same folder.
- Price
- Free, with a Premium tier. Now closed.
- Free. If paid plans ever come, nothing you saved gets locked.
What Pocket was good at
Pocket did one thing very well: you saved an article, and later it was there in a calm reading view with the ads gone. For long reads on a phone that was the whole product, and nothing about ceevo replaces that part. If reading is what you miss, look at a reader like Instapaper or Readwise Reader instead.
What most people actually did with Pocket, though, was save things and never open them again. The list grew to thousands, tags went unused, and the app became a place links went to be forgotten.
What ceevo does differently
ceevo has folders instead of one long list. When you save something you pick where it goes: design, reading, work, whatever you named. Folders are one level deep on purpose, so nothing hides three levels down and every folder is something you might actually open.
Any folder can be public. Flip the switch and it becomes a page at ceevo.me/you/folder-name, clean and readable, no account needed for the person you send it to. A reading list for a friend, the tools you recommend, the talks that changed how you work.
Notes live next to links. Half of what you want to keep is not a URL, it is a sentence, a quote, a thought. In ceevo a note is just another item in the folder.
Moving over from Pocket
Pocket offered a CSV export until October 2025. If you kept that file, ceevo cannot import it yet, and we would rather be honest about that than pretend. The practical route is to open the export, pick the fifty things you still care about, and paste them into folders. Most people find that the other few thousand were never coming back anyway.
Questions
- Is ceevo free?
- Yes. ceevo is free today. If paid plans are ever introduced, everything you have saved stays yours and stays accessible.
- Does ceevo have a reading view like Pocket?
- No. ceevo saves the link with a title and preview and opens the original page when you click it. It is a place to keep things, not a reader.
- Can I import my Pocket export?
- Not yet. You can paste links one at a time, and on your phone you can share to ceevo from any app.
