Forewords

Can I import from StoryGraph?

Yes. In the mobile app, open Settings → Import your Library → Import from StoryGraph, then sign in to bring across your books, reading status, ratings, and read dates. It is a one-way import, not an ongoing sync, and it is safe to run again. You can still upload a StoryGraph CSV on web if you prefer.

Import directly from StoryGraph

You do not need to export a CSV to move your StoryGraph library to Forewords. In the mobile app, go to Settings → Import your Library → Import from StoryGraph, then sign in and follow the prompts.

Forewords brings across your books, reading status, ratings, and read dates. The import is one-way rather than an ongoing sync, so later changes in StoryGraph will not automatically change your Forewords library.

What to expect

  • No CSV required. Sign in from Forewords and import directly from the app.
  • Safe to retry. If you run the import again, Forewords de-duplicates matching books.
  • A portable fallback. Prefer a file? You can still export from StoryGraph and upload its CSV on the web importer.
  • Some fields are held for later. Read count and ownership are captured for future functionality, but are not yet shown in Forewords.
