I am also looking for an alternative. Pocket just isn't good at what it's supposed to do: saving articles for later reading, often offline.

Same. I miss pocket's chrome app. Worked great when offline too.

I don't really care about web service. Any desktop tool that can capture websites like pocket? As in download the stripped-down article. They call it "reader view" sometimes.

There's some extensions/scripts like Markdownload that uses Mozilla's Readibility.js to download stripped-down articles. But it's a bit manual for my taste.
