You didn't fail at reading. The queue grew because every interesting link had nowhere to go except a pile. Pocket held that pile. Then Mozilla closed it. You don't need a new archive of dead saves. You need Follow → Send → Ask on a few sources that still matter.

## Pocket is gone

Mozilla officially shut down Pocket on July 8, 2025 . Export access closed Nov 12, 2025 . Apps and extensions are dead. getpocket.com points at Firefox discovery.

Official timeline per Mozilla support :

## Pocket was / Dewey is

## How to migrate
- Get started → /sms (7-day trial)
- Follow 3 sources (not import everything)
- Day-1 Send in chat
- Ask one real question before day 8
- Keep Personal if habit sticks

If Pocket's closure feels like losing a promise — that the internet could be saved and you'd catch up — you're not alone. But the truth is, the pile never worked. The real loss isn't the app; it's the illusion that saving was enough.

Dewey is a different bet: instead of holding everything, Follow a few sources that matter. Let Dewey read the stream and Send you what's relevant. Ask questions later. The goal isn't another queue. It's staying informed without the guilt.

Try the 7-day trial. If it doesn't change how you read, walk away. If it does, it costs about 50 cents a day.

## Dewey vs Matter

Many Pocket users moved to Matter after the shutdown. Matter rebuilt the save-and-read experience with modern polish, RSS, TTS, and highlights. If that's what you want, Matter delivers.

Dewey is not trying to replace Matter. Dewey is for people who are drowning in the unread stream and want a companion that reads for them, delivers in chat, and answers questions later. Different problem, different tool.
