Everything Pocket should have been.
Pocket let you save articles. LinkBrain makes sure you actually find them again — and surfaces them when they matter.
AI semantic search
Describe an article in your own words — even years later — and find it. No more keyword bingo.
Knowledge graph
Visualize how your saves connect. Spot patterns and themes across thousands of links — the way Pocket never showed you.
Smart resurfacing
Daily Brief surfaces the most relevant 3–5 saves you'd otherwise forget. Your reading list, finally read.
Auto-tagging
Every link gets AI-generated tags after import, layered on top of the tags you already had in Pocket.
Everywhere you read
Web, iOS, and a Chrome extension. Save from anywhere, search from anywhere, reader view included.

Migration FAQ
Does this still work now that Pocket is shut down?+
Yes — Pocket's export endpoint at getpocket.com/export still works for past users. Grab your ril_export.html before it goes dark, then drop it here.
What gets preserved in the migration?+
URLs, titles, tags, folders, and original save dates. We re-fetch favicons and (in the background) thumbnails, descriptions, and AI-generated tags. Nothing is lost.
Is it really free?+
Free forever for the first 50 links. If your Pocket export is bigger, you can upgrade to Pro after import — or migrate the most recent 50 free and decide later.
How is LinkBrain different from Pocket?+
Pocket was a save-and-forget pile. LinkBrain has AI semantic search ("find that article about API design"), automatic resurfacing, and a knowledge graph that connects related saves. It also imports from Instapaper, Raindrop, Notion, Twitter/X bookmarks and Chrome.
What about my highlights and annotations?+
Pocket's HTML export doesn't include highlights — that's a Pocket limitation, not ours. The CSV export from getpocket.com/export does include some metadata, and we'll grab whatever's there.
Don't lose a decade of saves.
Pocket's export endpoint won't last forever. Move your library to a tool that's actively maintained — and actually finds your stuff again.
