Frequently asked questions

Yes. Minibieb is an independent book tracker and a modern Goodreads alternative. Track your reading with AI-powered insights, reading streaks, and achievement badges that keep you motivated. Import your books from Goodreads or StoryGraph in minutes and pick up right where you left off.

Yes. All core features are free, with no credit card required. We researched with power users from Goodreads and StoryGraph to make sure the most important tracking features stay free, including shelves, streaks, badges, stats, and AI recommendations. Minibieb Plus adds extra features for readers who want even more.

Yes. Export a CSV from Goodreads or StoryGraph and upload it to Minibieb. The import takes about 2 minutes and brings over your books, ratings, shelves, and reading dates. Duplicates are handled automatically, so nothing gets lost in the transfer.

Yes. Each read keeps its own dates, rating, review and mood. Reading a book again adds a new read to its history instead of writing over the last one, so you can see how a book landed differently the second time. Every finish counts toward the goal for the year it happened in, and a re-read never changes a year you have already closed.

A minibieb (Dutch for "mini library") is a small neighborhood book-sharing cabinet where anyone can grab a book for free or leave one for someone else. There are over 47,000 across 25+ countries on 5 continents, and more are added all the time. The app maps them all and works anywhere in the world.

Minibieb is not an ebook reader, and that is deliberate. You read however you like: a paperback, a library book, one you found in a street cabinet, or an ebook in the app you already use. Minibieb is where the reading gets recorded, not where it happens. It keeps your place, your ratings, your notes, and what to read next.

Yes. You control what's visible with simple privacy toggles in the app. We follow the GDPR and collect only what we need to run and improve Minibieb. Your reading life is personal, and we keep it that way.

You can use Minibieb in English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Catalan, Danish, Norwegian Bokmål, and Swedish. Pick the one that feels right for you, and switch anytime in your profile. Every reader is welcome here.

Minibieb started in Amsterdam, born from a love of neighborhood book cabinets and the need for a reading companion you can trust. We wanted an app that respects your data, celebrates your reading habits, and helps you discover great books without algorithms built to sell. We're an independent team in the Netherlands, building for readers everywhere.
