The AI-native Pocket alternative
Import your Pocket library in one click, let AI organize and search it, and publish the collections worth sharing — pages the world (and AI) can actually read.
Export Pocket as HTML, drop it in, done. Your data is parsed in your browser.
One-click import
Drop your Pocket, browser, or Raindrop export. Duplicates are skipped automatically.
AI organizes
AI suggests tags and files each save into the right collection — no manual sorting.
Search by meaning
Semantic search and ‘ask your bookmarks’ find saves by what they mean, not just keywords.
Publish collections
Turn any collection into a clean public page — shareable and crawlable in one toggle.

Move from Pocket in three steps
Takes a minute, even for a huge library.
Export from Pocket
Download your Pocket data as an HTML file (ril_export.html).
Drop it into LinkNest
Open Import, drag in the file — it’s parsed in your browser.
Let AI sort it
AI tags and files your saves so your library organizes itself.
Own your saves, don’t rent them
Pocket taught everyone a hard lesson: a hosted read-it-later service can disappear. LinkNest runs on Cloudflare Workers and Pages, so you can self-host and keep your library on infrastructure you control.
Pocket migration FAQ
Everything about switching from Pocket to LinkNest.
Is Pocket really shutting down?
Yes. Mozilla announced Pocket was being discontinued in 2025, which leaves millions of saved links without a home. LinkNest is built to be the easiest place to move them.
How do I import my Pocket data into LinkNest?
Export your data from Pocket as an HTML file (ril_export.html), then open LinkNest Import, drop the file in, and confirm. Everything is parsed in your browser and imported into your account. Duplicates are skipped automatically.
Will my folders and tags come across?
Yes. Titles, URLs, tags, and folders in your export are preserved. Pocket folders become collections in LinkNest, and AI can suggest additional tags to fill the gaps.
What makes LinkNest an AI-native Pocket alternative?
Beyond saving links, LinkNest lets AI organize your library, search it by meaning, answer questions about your own saves, and summarize any article you saved — all optional and privacy-respecting.
Can I publish a reading list the way I used to share Pocket links?
Yes. Flip any collection public and you get a clean, shareable, search-engine and AI-crawlable page — perfect for reading lists, research bibliographies, and link roundups.
Can I self-host LinkNest?
LinkNest runs on Cloudflare Workers and Pages, so you can own your data and run it on infrastructure you control instead of a closed hosted service.
Your Pocket saves deserve a better home.
Bring them to LinkNest in one click, then let AI do the organizing.
