You can now import your Pocket articles into LINER! Access your existing Pocket library and highlight interesting sentences with our new “Reading List”!

While Pocket is great for saving entire articles. Pocket doesn’t provide a way to save sentences (sometimes you want to “Read-Sentences-Later” as well). Currently, the only way to save memorable text is to go back and forth between Pocket and your note-taking-app; then manually copy-and-paste the sentences. LINER provides an easy way to save “sentences” from Wikipedia, The New York Times, ESPN, and Medium.

With the overflow of information sometimes Pocket transitions from a “Read-it-Later” to a “Read-it-Never” service. LINER fills in the gap, by providing an amazing “Read-it-Now” experience. Highlight memorable sentences, highlight statements that you agree with, color-code different opinions to better understand debates, and highlight the primary thesis of the essay to follow the main theme. Highlight while you read.

How to Import Pocket Articles

  1. Click on the “Reading List” tab.
  2. Click on “Connect Pocket” button to initiate the imports. Depending on the amount of articles you have, you may have to wait 5~20 minutes when you first import articles. Following the first major import, the remaining imports will be called more quickly. Your new Pocket articles will automatically added to your LINER Reading List.
  3. Click on the Pocket articles you want to read and start highlighting! You can highlight on your desktop and mobile.

Happy Highlighting~

P.S. In our first iteration of “Pocket Imports”, the unhighlighted Pocket articles were mixed alongside “Highlighted Articles”. Which resulted in having 30,000 unhighlighted articles next to your highlighted content. Based on your feedback we decided to separate the imported articles into a different tab called the “Reading List”.
