Bring your saves from Pocket

Pocket shut down in 2025, but the export you downloaded still has your list. Import it in Remindly on the web, and each save becomes a note with its title, link, tags and the date you saved it.

Find your Pocket export

Pocket's export came as a .zip file, so look in your Downloads folder. Double-click it to open it. Inside is a CSV file with one line for each save. That's the file you'll import.

An HTML file from Pocket's older export works too.

Didn't export in time? Pocket's export closed in 2025, and Mozilla then deleted the accounts and their saves, so there's no way to download them now. If your list went to another app first, like Raindrop or Instapaper, export it from there: Remindly imports those files too.

Import it

  1. Go to remindly.com and sign in.

    Import is in Remindly on the web, on every plan. The notes then sync to Remindly on iPhone, iPad and Mac.

  2. Click your name at the foot of the sidebar, choose Settings, then Import.

  3. Under Bookmarks, check where the notes will go.

    Import into says Bookmarks, a notebook made for them if you don't have one. Click Change… to pick another, like a Read Later notebook.

  4. Click Choose File… and pick the CSV file from Pocket's .zip.

    Choose the file inside, not the .zip itself.

  5. Let it run.

    A bar shows how many links are in so far, and you can use Remindly meanwhile. If you leave Settings, the import waits until you come back and click Continue Import.

  6. Read the summary, then click Open Bookmarks to see your saves.

Safe to run twice. Links already in Remindly are skipped, so you can import the file again after a stop to bring in the rest.

What comes over

Kept

  • Every save, as a note with its link, up to 100,000 of them
  • Titles
  • The date you saved it, as the note's date, so your list keeps its order
  • Pocket's tags

Left behind

  • The articles' text: Pocket's export lists only links
  • Unread and Archive: both land in the same notebook
  • Highlights

A link you saved twice becomes one note, with the tags of both. Imported links use none of your attachment storage.

Keep reading in Remindly

Your old list is links. From here on, each article you save keeps its text.

Save the article

Share from Safari on iPhone, iPad and Mac, or use the Web Clipper in Chrome and Firefox. Open an old link and save it again to keep its text.

Save web pages

Come back to it

Remindly has no Unread list. Set a reminder on an article instead, and it comes back when you have time.

Set reminders

Read it anywhere

The iPhone, iPad and Mac apps keep your notes on the device, so you can read and search your saves offline.

If something's not right

I can't choose the .zip file
The import reads the file inside it. Double-click the .zip to open it, then choose the CSV file it holds.
Fewer notes came in than I had saves
Read the summary. Links already in Remindly are skipped, a link saved twice is imported once, and anything that isn't a web address is left out.
The import stopped partway
If you left Settings, go back to Import and click Continue Import. If you clicked Stop Import, the notes made so far stay: import the same file again to bring in the rest.
Can I import on my iPhone or Mac?
No, bookmark import is in Remindly on the web. Once it's done, your saves sync to Remindly on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Can I undo an import?
Import into a new notebook of its own. If you change your mind, delete that notebook: its notes go to the Trash, and nothing you already had is touched.
