Migrating to Cobblr

You already have your stuff written down somewhere: a spreadsheet, another inventory app, a pile of notes. Moving to Cobblr means bringing that in without retyping it, and knowing you can get it back out later.

Pick your starting point​

  • From a spreadsheet or CSV: the path that works for anything. If you can produce a CSV, Cobblr can read it.
  • From another tool: Homebox has a live connector and a one-shot importer. For everything else, export to CSV and use the path above.
  • Preserving history: moving between two Cobblr workspaces, and keeping a copy of what you had before you start.

Safe to try​

  • Every import shows you a preview before it writes anything, so you see what will land and where. If an import looks wrong in the preview, you close it and nothing was written.
  • Import is additive. It adds rows to your workspace. It does not reach out and change or delete what a source still holds.
  • Nothing you put in is trapped: a workspace exports back out to a file you own (see Backup and export).

What actually imports today​

The import paths that ship are CSV import for inventory items and locations, a scan-inbox import for captured items, and the Homebox connector (live sync or a one-shot CSV). The Integration catalog lists the sync sources available. Anything without its own path comes in through CSV.
