Bring your Pocket saves
Pocket is gone, but if you kept your export, your saves are not. Bring them somewhere built to last.
How it works
- Find the export file you downloaded from Pocket before it closed.
- In Moodshelf, open Add, then Import, then Pocket.
- Drop the HTML file in.
- Your articles come in, and they stay readable even when the original pages disappear.
If you still have a Pocket export
Pocket shut down in 2025 and the window to export closed that November, so a new export can no longer be made. What matters now is the file you already downloaded. It is worth a search of your downloads folder before assuming it is gone.
The classic export is an HTML file of your saved links, and that is what the Pocket import reads. If your final export came as a CSV instead, use Other (CSV) in the same import menu and map the columns.
Once your saves are in, Moodshelf keeps each one readable on your shelf, which matters more than ever for links that are slowly going dark.
Questions
I never exported before Pocket closed. Can you recover my saves?
Sadly no. Pocket deleted account data after the export deadline, so there is nothing left to fetch. The import works from the file you downloaded.
My export is a CSV, not HTML. What do I do?
Use Other (CSV) in the import menu and map the URL and title columns. It lands in the same place.
Will my articles stay readable?
Yes. Moodshelf keeps the page text and images with each save, so they outlive the original link.
How many saves can I bring on the free plan?
The free shelf holds 500 items. If an import would go past that, Moodshelf asks you first, and anything already on your shelf does not take a spot.
Do I need the browser extension?
Not for Pocket. The file upload works right in the app.
