From one CLZ user to another

I built Nudgr Books because I was a CLZ user myself. I owe CLZ a lot — it's what got my shelves organised in the first place, and it's genuinely powerful. But over the years it grew into something that tries to do everything, and most days I just wanted my shelf: scan, sort, done.

So I built the app I wished I had — the 20% of CLZ I used 100% of the time, made fast and simple. If that's the itch you've been feeling too, you're in the right place.

A built-in CLZ importer brings your whole library over. My own 831 books took 38 seconds.

Same shelf everywhere

Phone, tablet, desktop, and the browser — same look, same features, all in sync.

Common questions

Will I lose my CLZ data if I switch?

No. Exporting from CLZ doesn't change a thing in CLZ — the import pulls in a copy. Your CLZ collection stays untouched, so you can try Nudgr Books with nothing to lose.

How do I move my collection over?

Export your collection from CLZ as an .xml or .csv file, open Import from CLZ in Nudgr Books, and choose the file. That's the whole migration — no spreadsheets, no cleanup. My own 831-book library took 38 seconds.

Can I keep using CLZ as well?

Absolutely. The import is a copy, not a move, so nothing stops you from running both while you decide.

What does Nudgr Books cost?

Right now it's part of our summer special — start before 31 July 2026 and it's yours to keep, free, forever.

Which devices does it run on?

iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, Windows, and right in your browser — the same shelf everywhere, kept in sync. You can even scan books straight from the web app, no install needed.

Does it have every feature CLZ has?

No — and that's on purpose. CLZ is a deep cataloguing powerhouse. Nudgr Books is for people who want the everyday shelf: scan, sort, reading status, lending, inventory, fast. If you need CLZ's most advanced cataloguing, CLZ does that brilliantly.
