Everything you save lives in the cloud. Articles you open are also kept on this
device automatically so recent reading works without internet. Pin an item in the library
(the download button on each card) to keep it on this device permanently.

Offline dictionaries
Define and Translate fall back to these when you're offline and the word
hasn't been looked up before. Download just the languages you read.

App theme
Skin for the inbox, settings, and reader chrome. The article reading view has its own theme below.
Reader
These apply to the article reading view. Changes save automatically.
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
This is a live preview of how saved articles will look with your current settings. The pangram covers most letterforms; the heading is rendered in the heading face from your type system, and the body uses your chosen reading font, size, line-height, alignment, and theme.
Bold, italic, and a link appear inline. Highlights look like this gold mark.
Pair mobile app
Generate a one-time 6-digit code to sign in the Pocket Browser Android app without going through Sign in with Google.
Useful when Credential Manager misbehaves. Code expires after 10 minutes.
Save anywhere
Set up the bookmarklet (desktop) or install the PWA (Android share-target) to save URLs from any browser or app.
Send or forward mail to this address and its attachments (EPUB, PDF, DOCX, TXT, MD, images) are added to your library.
A message with no attachments is saved as a document. Keep it private — anyone with the address can add to your library.
Cloud storage
Connect a Dropbox folder — any EPUB, PDF, or image dropped into it is imported automatically.

One-time Dropbox app setup
At Dropbox App Console create a Scoped access app (App folder or Full Dropbox).
Set the Webhook URI: https://side-hustle-0su8.onrender.com/api/pocket/dropbox/webhook
Put the app key/secret in the server env as DROPBOX_APP_KEY and DROPBOX_APP_SECRET, then reconnect here.
Drop
Pocket folder in Drop
Keep your books in one place: a Pocket folder in Drop holds the files,
and anything you put in it shows up in your library. Highlights, notes and handwriting stay in Pocket, even if a file
later leaves Drop.
Checking…
Other Drop files
Read PDFs and EPUBs stored anywhere else in Drop. They’re read in place; nothing is copied.
Books in your library can go the other way with “Save to Drop…”.
Import from PocketBook Cloud
Brings your PocketBook books, highlights, notes, collections and reading progress into Pocket.
Your password is used once to sign in to PocketBook and is never stored. Safe to run again:
it skips what's already here, keeps changes you've made in Pocket, and won't bring back anything you deleted.
Custom reader themes
Build your own color palette for the article reader. Themes you create here
sync to the Pocket Browser Android app and vice versa.
+ New theme
Custom paywall sites
Add sites the Pocket Saver extension should bypass beyond its built-in catalog (Bypass Paywalls Clean).
Set the User-Agent to Googlebot, hide adblock-detect overlays, and block paywall scripts. Saved settings
sync to the extension automatically (open pocket.hessler.app with the extension installed to pull the latest).
