Import and sync from Moon+ Reader

Use Moon+ Reader with Acorny in two different ways:

• One-time import: upload existing Moon+ Reader export files into Acorny.
• Ongoing push sync: configure Moon+ Reader’s Readwise sync settings to send new highlights to Acorny.

Moon+ Reader does not appear as an Extensions & Apps connection card because Acorny does not pull data from Moon+ Reader. Moon+ Reader pushes highlights to Acorny through Acorny’s Readwise-compatible endpoint.

One-time import

Use one-time import when you already have Moon+ Reader highlights and want to migrate them into Acorny.

Supported inputs:

• TXT paste for a single-book Moon+ Reader text export
• .mrexpt export files
• .mrstd backup archives
• .mrpro backup archives

Import flow:

1. Open Acorny, then go to Import.
2. Choose Upload File.
3. Set Source type to Moon+ Reader.
4. Pick the matching Moon+ Reader input mode:
   • Paste TXT
   • Upload .mrexpt
   • Upload backup (.mrstd, .mrpro)
5. Preview the import.
6. Choose Confirm import.

Notes

When Moon+ Reader exports notes attached to highlights, Acorny keeps the note with the imported highlight when the file contains enough matching information.

For .mrexpt and backup imports, Acorny uses Moon+ Reader metadata such as chapter, position, source file path, and record identity when available. This helps Acorny avoid duplicates across TXT, .mrexpt, and backup imports.

If an existing Moon+ Reader highlight already exists in Acorny but has an empty note, a later Moon+ Reader import can backfill the missing note when the records can be matched safely.

Ongoing push sync from Moon+ Reader

Use push sync when you keep reading in Moon+ Reader and want future highlights to appear in Acorny without manually uploading files each time.

1. Open Acorny.
2. Go to Settings.
3. Find Import API tokens.
4. Create a token named Moon+ Reader.
5. Copy the token immediately. It is only shown once.
6. Copy the Moon+ Reader Readwise URL shown in the same Settings section. It ends with /api/v2/highlights/.
7. Open Moon+ Reader.
8. Open Moon+ Reader’s Readwise sync settings.
9. Paste the Acorny URL into the Readwise URL field.
10. Paste the Acorny token into the Token field.
11. Trigger Moon+ Reader’s Readwise sync.

Moon+ Reader sends highlights to Acorny using a Readwise-compatible API. The token authorizes writes into your Acorny account.

Token safety

Import API tokens can create highlights in your Acorny account. Store them like passwords. If a token is exposed, revoke it in Settings and create a new one.

Troubleshooting push sync

If Moon+ Reader reports an authentication failure, create a fresh Import API token and make sure the Token field contains the Acorny token, not your Acorny login password.

If Moon+ Reader cannot connect, confirm that the Readwise URL includes /api/v2/highlights/ and uses the same Acorny host you use in the browser.
