Import your Pocket Saves

With many Pocket users hunting for alternatives, we fast-tracked a Pocket import feature—and it's here. You can now import up to 1000 Pocket saves at a time directly into Recall, enabling you to use Recall as your Pocket alternative and experience an AI-powered read-it-later app. This is just the first version, and we're excited to improve it based on your feedback.

How to import your Pocket Saves

1. Open Recall on a desktop. Imports via the mobile app are not possible.
2. Click "+Create Card" in the top-right corner of the Recall app.
3. Select Import in the pop-up window.
4. Choose "Import From Pocket."
5. Select your pocket.zip file — make sure it's the .zip file and not the unzipped folder.
6. You can import up to 1,000 Pocket Saves at a time. If you have more than 1,000, simply re-upload the same .zip file — Recall will automatically deduplicate previously uploaded items and import the remaining ones. Imports are processed by recency, so the most recent Pocket Saves are imported first.

From Pocket to Recall: What to Expect After Importing

Once your Pocket Saves are imported into Recall, they're instantly transformed into interactive knowledge cards — allowing you to move from passive reading to engaging with your content in the way that works best for you.

Here's what you can do with your imported Pocket Saves:

• Automatic Categorization: Your articles are automatically tagged by topic using Recall's AI, so you don't need to manually organize them. If your Pocket Save already had a tag, it will be added as the tag in Recall.
• AI Summaries: Each article is distilled into a concise summary that captures the main points, allowing you to absorb key ideas at a glance. If you prefer a detailed summary, you can select that in the chat tab or change it in your default settings.
• Chat With Your Content: Want to dive deeper or clarify something? You can chat with your Pocket Saves like you would with an AI tutor — ask questions, get insights, and explore ideas further.
• See the Bigger Picture: Recall connects your imported content to other cards in your knowledge graph, revealing meaningful relationships and helping you make sense of complex topics over time.
• Test Your Understanding: Turn your cards into quizzes to actively reinforce what you've learned. It's a powerful way to retain insights and track your progress.
