Has anyone ever used pocket except by accident?

Is there a better free read later app?

Instapaper has a free plan. Personally, I moved away from Instapaper and use the extension MarkDownload to save pages as Markdown and import that into Obsidian.

I'm just not sure what a read later app is even for. Can't you just leave the tab open?

The internet is not always available for at least some people.

The main idea is that you can access it regardless of which device you're currently using. Like saving an article you see when you're on your PC for when you're about to leave so you can read it on your phone while on the train

Try readdeck or shiori (both self hostable)
