If you like Pocket you probably know that you can set up a RSS Feed in DEVONthink Pro (help.getpocket.com/article/1074 … st-via-rss).
But how to sync articles you’ve read in DEVONthink with your Pocket account?
The good news: With github.com/rakanalh/pocket-cli it can be done! I came across this some time ago, but as I’m a totally Terminal newbie… and honestly I did not try enough. Yesterday after several hours I managed to get my Pocket account and my DEVONthink Pocket Feed to sync, hey
The bad news: I can’t tell you how. I really have no idea what I was doing with “Terminal”, “python”, “pip install”, “easy_install”, “–ignoring-installed”, “six”, “site-packages”, “–upgrade”, the wrong “six” (you need “six==1.10.0”) and the excursion to Homebrew.
However people who are familiar with that kind of stuff could probably tell how to set this up in a few minutes (and I’m pretty sure they will )
Anyway I tried myself on an AppleScript - but it sometimes works (especially in the beginning); the longer I try the more often it fails. Script Debugger demo didn’t help, maybe sleep will

repeat until i = 0
set end of searchTheResults to item thisLine of (paragraphs of searchPocket)
set thisLine to thisLine + 4
set i to i - 1

set theName to (characters 14 thru -1 in thisItem) as string
if theName = name of theRecord then
set PocketID to (characters 1 thru 10 of thisItem) as string

move record theRecord to trash group of database of theRecord
