🚀 What we shipped — December 15
Pocket App(v0.5.21)
Our latest update is packed with productivity features, deep organizational tools, and a completely reimagined summary experience that makes Pocket smarter, faster, and more powerful than ever.
✍️ Ask to Edit Summaries (Adaptive Editing)
Edit summaries by simply describing what you want changed—inline, fast, and contextual. Pocket updates the summary instantly, without breaking your flow.
What makes this truly powerful is what happens next:
Every time you customize an edit, Pocket learns.
It starts to understand your tone, your structure, and your preferences.
Future summaries come out closer and closer to how you naturally write—with fewer taps, fewer corrections, and eventually none at all.
