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 1,000 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
- Open Recall on a desktop. Imports via the mobile app are not possible.
- Click “Add Content” in the top-right corner of the Recall app.
- Select Import in the pop-up window.
- Choose “Import From Pocket.”
- Select your pocket.zip file: make sure it’s the .zip file and not the unzipped folder.
- 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:
- Chat With Your Content: You can now get real value from your Pocket Saves by chatting across all of them at once. Ask questions, explore topics, and surface insights without having to open each article individually. Remember to @ the tag name that contains your Pocket Saves.
- AI Summaries: Create summaries that capture the main ideas of any article. Go to the Chat tab, choose a summary type, and add it to your notebook.
- Generate Connections: See how your ideas relate by clicking “Generate Connections” in the Connections tab. Recall will show links between your cards, helping you spot recurring themes and related concepts.
- Test Your Understanding: Turn your cards into quizzes to reinforce what you’ve learned and keep track of your progress.
📌
Note:
- Categorization, summaries, and connections aren’t created automatically when doing bulk imports. You can generate them as needed to stay in control of your workspace and manage AI usage efficiently.
- On the free version of Recall, you can only import up to 10 Pocket Saves. To import more, you’ll need to upgrade to a Premium Plan.
- If you prefer not to upgrade and still want to use Recall as a free read-it-later app, simply change the default setting in your app to “Reader”.
