The app after a Pocket import: “Welcome over from Pocket. Added 15 pages to Tuck” (the app’s earlier name), with a button to get reading times.

Moving from Pocket?

Bring your whole list across.

If you kept the export file Pocket gave you, Steep imports it: titles, tags, original save dates and your archive. The 2025 zip, a CSV from inside it, or the older HTML file all work.

Pocket’s file has no reading times, so Steep can fill them in for your newest unread pages, gently and one at a time, straight from each page’s own site. Nothing happens until you tap “Get reading times”, and you can stop at any time.

No export file? Start fresh: Share → Steep works from the first link you save.

Private by design

Your reading list is nobody else’s business.

Steep has no account, no server and no way to see what you save.

  • Stays on your phoneYour list lives in Steep’s private storage and is kept out of automatic cloud backups.
  • No ads, no trackingNo advertising, analytics or crash-reporting code. Nothing about how you use Steep is collected.
  • Online only when neededTo get a page’s title, length and picture, Steep reads it once from that page’s own site. Turn that off and Steep never goes online.
  • Yours to take with youExport your list to a file you choose and restore it on a new phone. It’s your list, not ours.

Questions

Good to know.

When can I get Steep?

Steep is coming soon to Google Play. If you’d like to try it before then, email us and we’ll invite you to the test.

Does my list sync between devices?

No. Your list stays on the phone you saved it on. To move to a new phone, export your list to a file and restore it there.

Can I read articles inside Steep, or offline?

Not yet. Steep opens each page in your browser. Saving works from any app, any time.

Which phones does it work on?

Android phones running Android 8.0 or newer.

Is Steep the same app as Tuck?

Yes. Steep is the new name for Tuck. The rename is still under way, so you may see the old name in a few places for a while.

Is Steep connected to Pocket?

No. Steep is made by an independent developer and isn’t affiliated with Pocket or Mozilla. It can import the export file Pocket gave you.
