How to retrieve saved items using save to pocket extension on MacBook Pro with Sonoma 14.3.1

In the App Store there is an iOS app called Pocket that will copy an entire article and save it to your harddrive, storing it in its entirety for your use. Then Pocket actually has the capability for you to retrieve the article for reading. The Save to Pocket extension on the Mac, on the other hand, appears to only save the article, with no apparent way to be able to retrieve and read the article, as for as I can ascertain.

Hi Inquirer!

welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community!


Re: how do I locate the items that have been saved by the Save to Pocket extension?


Thank you kindly for the clear and precise info., you have included with your question

To: "See items you downloaded


  1. In the Safari app  on your Mac, click the Show Downloads button near the top-right corner of the Safari window. 
  2. The button isn’t shown if the downloads list is empty.
    • Find a downloaded item on your Mac: Click the magnifying glass next to the filename in the downloads list. If you move a file or change the download location after downloading it, Safari can’t find the file."


Above is from: Download items from the web using Safari on Mac - Apple Support

If more help is needed:

Seems Safari saves files to the location you have set in settings:

With Safari open,

Click Safari > Settings > Choose "General" from the top menu in the window that opens.

Look to see what is set for "File download location:"



You will likely find any files Safari downloads in that location.


if file still not found:

See what to do: If you can’t find a file on Mac - Apple Support for other ways. to find the file.


All the best :-)
