How to import a spreadsheet (CSV) into Cocoon
Keep your baby's history when you switch: Cocoon imports your any CSV file export in a few minutes, with a preview first and nothing duplicated.
Export your data as a CSV with a date or time column, then open app.getcocoonapp.com/import (or Import data in the app) and add the file. Cocoon detects the columns, shows a preview of how it read them, skips duplicates, and syncs everything to your phone.
What you need
Any CSV with a date or time column — from a spreadsheet, a notes app or another tracker.
Step 1 — export from any CSV file
- Export your data from any CSV file: Cocoon reads any CSV with a date or time column — from a spreadsheet, a notes app or another tracker.
- Save the file somewhere you can reach it — email it to yourself, or save it to your Downloads or Files.
Step 2 — import into Cocoon
- On a computer, open app.getcocoonapp.com/import and sign in with the same account (or open Settings → Data & privacy → Import data on your phone).
- Drag your export file in, choose it, or paste from the clipboard. Cocoon detects which app it came from.
- Check the preview: what was found, which day each entry will be filed on, and whether dates were written day-first or month-first.
- Confirm. Duplicates are skipped, anything that couldn't be read is listed, and you can undo the whole import straight afterwards.
- Everything syncs to your phone and to the caregivers you share with.

Common questions
What comes across from any CSV file?
Cocoon brings across breastfeeds, bottles, sleep, nappies, pumping, solids and growth measurements.
Will importing from any CSV file create duplicates?
No. Cocoon skips anything it has already imported, so importing the same file twice is safe — handy if you keep using your old app for a few days while you switch.
Can I undo an import from any CSV file?
Yes. Straight after an import, tap Undo this import and everything it added is removed. The preview before you confirm also shows what was found and which day each entry will be filed on.
Do I need to do this on a computer?
No, but it's usually easiest: exports tend to arrive by email or land in a Downloads folder. Open app.getcocoonapp.com/import on a computer, or use Settings → Data & privacy → Import data on your phone — either way, it syncs everywhere.
The tracker that also remembers
Nap and feed windows from day one, a sleep program, growth percentiles, a photo journal and family sharing — every feature free right now, and your data yours to export any time.
