Pocket Shuts Down for Good — Mozilla Opens Data Export Until October 8, 2025

Mozilla's popular read-it-later app took its servers offline on July 8, 2025, and all user data will be permanently deleted in November.

Pocket, the read-it-later service that had been part of Mozilla for years, officially ceased operations on July 8, 2025, according to an announcement on Mozilla Support and a report from TechCrunch, both of which confirm the same timeline.

Mozilla's stated reason is a strategic shift in response to changing web usage behavior. The company believes its resources are better spent on other projects that better serve how people browse the web today, rather than continuing to develop a traditional article-saving service.

The shutdown followed a clear timeline. On May 22, 2025, Mozilla removed the app from app stores, stopped accepting new sign-ups, and ended monthly subscription renewals. Then, on July 8, 2025, the servers went offline, rendering both the app and the browser extension non-functional immediately.

For existing users who have yet to migrate their data, Mozilla is allowing full data exports until October 8, 2025 — including saved articles, lists, archives, favorites, notes, and highlights. After that, on November 12, 2025, all user data will be permanently deleted from the system with no possibility of recovery.

TechCrunch also recommends alternative services for users looking to switch. One caution: don't confuse the defunct Pocket with a new app also called "Pocket" from Meta, which made news in July 2026 — that one is an AI game and experience creation platform, an entirely different service.
