Hot on the heels of Sofa 5.0, I’m bringing a looooooooong time request for Sofa 5.1: Importing data from other services. If you’ve been tracking movies on Letterboxd, books on Goodreads, or keeping all that stuff in Apple Reminders, you can now bring all of it into Sofa.
Import Your Library, Take It With You - Sofa
Bring your library in from Goodreads, Letterboxd, Trakt, and a bunch more. Export everything Sofa knows as a zipped folder of CSV files. Plus a handful of fixes.
