For many years, I have used the GetPocket app to track, categorize, and archive online content for my teaching and research. Pocket has been an effective tool for organizing materials with tags and revisiting them later when needed. However, I recently learned that the app is being discontinued. According to the official announcement, Pocket will shut down on July 8, 2025. After that date, it will operate in export-only mode, and users will be able to export their saved content until November 12, 2025. After this deadline, all user data will be permanently deleted.
The Pocket team explains this decision by citing “changing web usage habits and a shift in resources toward new priorities.” With this, another application joins the long archive of tools that once shaped how we navigated the web.
For this reason, I am collecting my saved links, related articles, and notes on this page and will continue to update it over time. I am also open to suggestions for alternative platforms that can serve as a long-term content archive.
