// EDITOR'S TAKE
Wallabag is the direct Pocket replacement: it extracts articles into a clean reader view, has mobile apps and imports Pocket exports without fuss. Karakeep is the better choice if you want AI tagging and search across everything you save, whereas Faved and bookmark-it are link managers rather than readers and will not give you offline article text.
