Migrate from Instapaper to Tuck in 30 seconds
Instapaper still works. It just hasn't moved much since 2018. If you want a read-later app that ships features instead of changing owners every two years, Tuck imports your CSV in 30 seconds.
Ready to migrate? Get Tuck. The rest takes 30 seconds in the app.
Install Tuck on your phone or open it on the web. Sign in, tap Settings → Import → Instapaper, and drop your export file. We’ll preserve your tags, favorites, and archive state.
Instapaperexport file ready? Hold on to it; you’ll upload it inside Tuck. Expected format: Instapaper CSV export.
What Tuck preserves
- All saved URLs
- Folders (mapped to Tuck tags)
- Archive state
- Date saved
- Article titles
- Liked status
- Notes attached to articles
What we can’t recover
- Per-passage highlights aren't in Instapaper's CSV, so Tuck preserves the URL and you can re-highlight
