Pocket Item Viewer

About

⚠️ Pocket has been discontinued.
I will therefore no longer be developing this plugin or providing support.

🚀 In the meantime, I have developed a successor: TAKO - Read it later
Here is the link to the plugin: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/tako-read-it-later/gefofbdkchdikipjbbaeppdhpkklaaih

ℹ️ You can find more information about TAKO on my website: https://optimutz.ch/tako/

This browser plugin for Pocket (getpocket.com) shows you all your saved Pocket entries in a pop-up. The individual entries can be opened directly, deleted, archived or set as favourites.

Current functions:

// Popup:
- - Display of entries, either as pagination, i.e. 7 entries per page (Chrome unfortunately limits the height) or scrolling, which displays all entries.
- - Open the getpocket.com overview in a new browser tab
- - Sort by newest/oldest entry, alphabetically ascending/descending

// Popup: each individual entry can be
- - opened,
- - deleted,
- - archived or
- - set as a favourite.
- - An entry can also be pinned, which is not a pocket function but a function of the plugin.

// Setting options: 
- - Activate/deactivate badge for plug-in icon
- - Activate/deactivate pocket functions (delete, archive, favourite)
- - Activate/deactivate pin functionality (plugin feature, no pocket feature)
- - Activate pagination or scrolling
- - Activate thumbnail or favicon
- - Show/hide age of entries
- - Define the width of the pop-up window
- - Export all Pocket entries as CSV file
- - Log in/log out from Pocket account

==> Further functions and setting options will follow...

Do you miss your language, a function or do you have any other concerns? Get in touch with me via the "Support Hub".
