Launched Pocket Highlights Importer
We’re so sad to hear that Pocket is shutting down…
We’ve been a longtime user since 2016 (maybe even earlier).
According to Pocket, all the data on Pocket will be permanently deleted after Oct. 8, 2025. To avoid it and to make your data useful, we launched a manual Pocket Highlights Importer!
If you have already integrated Pocket and Glasp with the API, there would be some issues regarding the update, so please reconnect the API again.
