Import Pocket Saves - Recall as a Pocket Alternative
complete
Sankari Nair
As we work on bulk importing content into Recall, we were looking to sprint on supporting the import of Pocket saves, given the recent news about the Pocket shutdown. Many people are looking for Pocket alternatives, and we thought this was a great opportunity to enable Pocket users to migrate to Recall as their upgraded, AI-powered read-it-later app and Pocket alternative. This will be the first of many bulk imports and integrations.

Its here! With many Pocket users hunting for alternatives, we fast-tracked a Pocket import feature—and it’s here. You can now import up to 500 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.

Sankari Nair hi! I'm a sicko with years of pocket saves - I can't figure out how to break them up into 500 article segments to import (I have 13 csvs that are around 10k links per) admittedly, this is probably weird. suggestions? or just wait for a hulk bulk import tool

jonathanstoltman Claude suggested me this shell script to split a CSV file multiple files of 500 lines each (at most):
# Split the file (excluding header from count)
tail -n +2 part_000000.csv | split -l 500 - part_data_
# Add headers to each split file
header=$(head -n 1 part_000000.csv)
for file in part_data_*; do
echo "$header" > temp_file
cat "$file" >> temp_file
mv temp_file "${file}.csv"
rm "$file"
done

jonathanstoltman Hello! You can import up to 500 articles at a time. To import more than 500, simply upload the same ZIP file again—we’ll automatically remove any duplicates.

I've just signed up and would definitely become a Recall user, even to the premium tier, but I'd expect Recall to offer a Pocket Saves Import (with tags if possible) BEFORE Pocket shuts down on July 8, 2025; and I need the iOS version to be functional and stable, not in Beta - please make it happen...

Wow! That is the first feature that I was going to suggest and then I find this! Amazing! Thank you!
