What The StoryGraph is
The StoryGraph is a reading platform for tracking progress and choosing the next book based on mood and preferences. Most features are free, and a paid Plus plan adds a more personalized experience. You can import your library from Goodreads, log what you read, and use the mobile app from the App Store or Play Store. The project started as a personal tool built by Nadia Odunayo and Rob Frelow and grew into a service for managing reading lists. It suits readers who want stats and recommendations without a heavy social feed, and the mood-based approach is the main difference from a plain checklist.
What you can do with it
- Track reading progress and keep a record of what you finish.
- Import existing data from Goodreads to move your library over.
- Discover your next book based on mood and preferences.
- Use the mobile app to log reading away from a desktop.
Who it is for
- Avid readers who want simple stats without social pressure.
- Book clubs that need a shared way to log titles.
- Goodreads users looking for an alternative with mood-based picks.
What to watch out for
Most features are free, but some personalization sits behind the Plus plan, so check which features you actually need before paying. Importing from Goodreads depends on that export working correctly, and large libraries may need cleanup. Recommendations improve with logged data, so early suggestions can feel thin until you have recorded enough reading. Start with a small sample to confirm the output meets your expectations before processing the full batch. Free tiers and usage limits can change, so check the current rules on the official page before relying on it long term.
