Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about features, privacy, importing, and getting started.

Is MyBookShelf free to use?▾

Yes. Core personal library tracking is free — shelves, reading progress, notes, quotes, reading stats, and exports are all included, with no credit card required.

How do I import my books from Goodreads?▾

Export your Goodreads library as a CSV, then upload it to MyBookShelf. Your shelves, ratings, and read dates come across. You can also add books by ISBN barcode scan, title search, or manually.

How is MyBookShelf different from StoryGraph?▾

MyBookShelf is privacy-first and calm by design. Your library is hidden by default, there are no ads or tracking, and your data is always exportable. It focuses on a quiet personal library rather than a social feed.

Can I track reading progress, quotes, and notes?▾

Yes. Track where you are in each book, save the passages that move you, and keep private notes — organized by book, by mood, or by memory.

Is my library private?▾

MyBookShelf is privacy-first. Your library is hidden by default, analytics are opt-in, sharing is controlled down to each book, and we never sell your data.

Can I export my data?▾

Absolutely. Export tools are always available, including Goodreads-compatible CSV, so your library is never locked in.

Does MyBookShelf work on my phone?▾

Yes. MyBookShelf runs in any browser and installs to your home screen as an app, so it works across phone, tablet, and desktop.

Can I use it offline?▾

Once installed, MyBookShelf caches your core screens so you can browse your shelves even with a patchy connection.

Your reading life, saved.

We'll keep it. Start your library today — no credit card, no noise, no rush.
