Mozilla announced Pocket is retiring on July 8th, 2025.

This Week in F-Droid lists multiples Pocket alternatives that have FOSS Android apps available in F-Droid.

Do you use any Pocket alternative on Android?

I haven't found one yet that check all my boxes, and would welcome recommandation. My ideal app is:

FOSS
Able to read aloud articles (text to speech integration)
Local first (no/optional server), or support a standard server protocol (eg webdav)

Wallabag seems to be FOSS and able to read aloud. But it require a server and doesn't support a standard storage protocol (eg Webdav). I'd like to keep my data private without having to maintain yet another server software installation.

Creating a temp folder does not allow to read aloud articles using TTS. That's the only reason why I use Pocket. I don't use it to manage bookmarrks.
