Why readers switch to Everleaf
No ads, no tracking
No ad networks, no tracking across apps, and no data sold. The App Store privacy label reads Data Not Collected.
Independent, not big tech
Goodreads has been part of Amazon since 2013. Everleaf is made by a small independent studio in Norway and paid for by readers.
Your data in your iCloud
Free automatic iCloud backup, and iCloud sync with Premium. It lives in your own Apple Account, not on our servers.
Fast on iPhone
Scan an ISBN barcode, get suggestions as you type, and covers fill themselves in. It feels like a real iPhone app because it is one.
Made for your own reading
Goals, streaks, half-star ratings, notes and Reading Wrapped. No followers and no pressure, just you and your books.
Move your Goodreads library in a few minutes
Your ratings, shelves and read dates come with you. You can keep using Goodreads too, and import again later. Books you already have are skipped.
Export from Goodreads
On goodreads.com, open My Books, choose Import and export, and tap Export Library. Download the CSV file.
Save it on your iPhone
Save the file in the Files app, for example in iCloud Drive or On My iPhone.
Import in Everleaf
Open Settings, choose Import from Goodreads or StoryGraph, and pick the file. Check the preview, then tap Import.
What comes across
- Titles, authors and ISBNs
- Your Read, Currently Reading and Want to Read shelves
- Books you did not finish (from a dnf or abandoned shelf)
- Your star ratings
- Read dates and page counts
- Your reviews and private notes, saved as notes
- Covers, fetched automatically after the import
Coming from StoryGraph?
It works the same way. On thestorygraph.com, open Manage Account, then Manage Your Data, and choose Export StoryGraph Library. Everleaf reads your read status, star ratings, last read dates, did-not-finish books and reviews.
Is Everleaf right for you?
A great fit if you
- want a private reading log that is just for you
- use an iPhone and want a native, quick app
- like seeing your year in numbers and setting goals
- want to own your data and export it any time
Maybe not if you
- mostly use Goodreads for friends' updates and community reviews
- need an Android app or a website to log books
Questions about switching
Is Everleaf a good alternative to Goodreads?
If you want a private, ad-free book tracker for iPhone, yes. Everleaf keeps your shelves, ratings, notes and reading stats without an account or a social feed, and you can import your Goodreads library from its CSV export.
Is importing from Goodreads free?
Yes. Importing from Goodreads and StoryGraph is part of the free version, as are the barcode scanner, automatic covers and iCloud backup.
Will my Goodreads ratings and shelves come across?
Yes. Ratings, Read, Currently Reading and Want to Read shelves, read dates, page counts, did-not-finish books, and your reviews and private notes are imported. Covers are fetched automatically.
Can I keep using Goodreads as well?
Yes. Nothing changes on Goodreads. You can export and import again later, and books already in Everleaf are skipped.
Does Everleaf have a social feed or friends?
No, on purpose. Everleaf is a personal reading journal. You can share a card of your reading year if you like, but there are no followers or public profiles.
Is there a StoryGraph import too?
Yes. Export your library from StoryGraph under Manage Account, then Manage Your Data, and import the CSV file the same way.
Is Everleaf available on Android?
Not at the moment. Everleaf is made for iPhone, with iOS 17 or later.
