Pocket (formerly Read It Later)

Pocket is a globally recognized digital content curation platform designed to help users save articles, videos, and stories from any site or app to view later, even offline. The service was originally launched in 2007 as a Firefox browser extension named 'Read It Later'. It eventually rebranded to Pocket in 2012 to reflect its role as a cross-platform repository for digital interests.

The service was founded in the United States by Nate Weiner. After years of independent growth and becoming a staple productivity tool for millions of users, the brand was acquired in 2017. This acquisition integrated the service deeply into the open-source and web-centric ecosystem of its current owner.

Today, Pocket operates as a core part of the Mozilla Corporation's product suite. While it remains a standalone application available on major mobile and desktop platforms, it is also natively integrated into the Firefox web browser, furthering its mission to provide a cleaner, distraction-free reading experience on the web.
