Automatic iCloud backup
Free for everyone
Everleaf quietly saves your whole library to iCloud Drive, so a lost or new phone does not mean a lost bookshelf.

- Offers to restore your library when you reinstall or get a new iPhone
- Pick an older backup from Settings at any time
- Also export a backup file or a CSV to Files whenever you like
Premium
iCloud sync
Premium
Keep the same library on all your iPhones and iPads. Add a book on one, rate it on another, and everything stays up to date.
- Uses Apple's CloudKit in your private iCloud database
- Ratings, notes, deletions and your own cover photos follow along
- Edits made offline on two devices are merged, and notes are never lost
- If Premium ends, sync pauses. Nothing is deleted
Both use the Apple Account you are signed in with. Requires iOS 17 or later.

Questions, answered
Is Everleaf free?
Yes. Everleaf is free to download, with no ads and no account. The core book tracker, the barcode scanner, Goodreads and StoryGraph import and automatic iCloud backup are free for good. New installs also get 10 days of Premium for free. After that, Premium is an optional monthly, yearly or lifetime purchase.
What is the difference between iCloud backup and iCloud sync?
iCloud backup is free. It saves a copy of your library to your iCloud Drive and can restore it on a new phone. iCloud sync is part of Premium. It keeps the same library up to date on all your iPhones and iPads at the same time.
Is Everleaf a good alternative to Goodreads?
If you want a private, ad-free book tracker for iPhone, yes. Everleaf has no social feed and needs no account. You can import your Goodreads library from its CSV export in a minute and keep your ratings, shelves and read dates.
How do I import from Goodreads or StoryGraph?
Export your library as a CSV file from Goodreads (My Books, then Import and export) or StoryGraph (Manage Account, then Manage Your Data). Save the file in Files, then open Settings in Everleaf, choose Import from Goodreads or StoryGraph, and pick the file. You see a preview before anything is added.
Where is my data stored?
On your iPhone and, if you use backup or sync, in your own iCloud. We have no server and cannot see your library. See the privacy policy for the details.
Is Everleaf the same app as MyBooks?
Yes. MyBooks is now called Everleaf. It is the same app from the same people, and your books, backups and Premium carry over automatically when you update.
Who makes Everleaf?
A small independent studio in Norway. Everleaf is paid for by readers who choose Premium, not by advertising or data.
Can I take my books out again?
Yes. Export a CSV file in Goodreads format, or a full Everleaf backup file, from Settings at any time.
What happens if Premium ends?
Your books, notes, ratings and backups all stay. Premium features lock again, and iCloud sync pauses. Nothing is deleted.
How do I change plan or cancel?
In Everleaf, open Settings, then Premium, and choose Change plan or Manage subscription. You can also cancel in your Apple ID settings under Subscriptions.
Does it work for Norwegian books?
Yes. Search and the barcode scanner include the National Library of Norway, and the app is available in Norwegian and English.
What do I need?
An iPhone with iOS 17 or later. iCloud backup and sync use the Apple Account you are signed in with.
