How to Track Stardew Valley Perfection Progress with a Save-File Tracker

Updated

To track Stardew Valley perfection progress with a save-file tracker, upload your save file to stardew.app so it can auto-populate your completion data, or create a farmhand profile and update progress manually. The site supports Stardew Valley 1.6 through 1.6.9 and organizes tracked progress into Player, Collections, Ginger Island, and Misc sections. You'll need your save file accessible on the device you're using, and linking a Discord account is the stated way to keep your data saved across devices.

What the tracker covers

stardew.app is built around tracking progress toward 100% completion. Its page sections map to the areas you'd expect to review when chasing perfection:

Section What to review there
Player Your farmer's tracked stats and standing
Collections Collection-type completion items
Ginger Island Island-related progress
Misc Remaining milestones that count toward completion

The site describes itself as a sidekick for reaching "that coveted 100% completion," so treat these sections as your checklist: open each one, find what's still missing, and plan the next in-game tasks around it.

Option 1: Upload a save file (automatic)

This is the lower-effort path, since the tracker does "the heavy lifting" of reading your progress rather than you entering it by hand.

  1. Locate your save file. Stardew Valley stores saves locally on your computer; find the folder for your platform before starting.
  2. Open stardew.app and choose the upload option on the landing page ("Upload a save file").
  3. Select your save file and confirm the upload.
  4. Expected result: your progress toward perfection is populated across the Player, Collections, Ginger Island, and Misc sections.
  5. Verify: check that the sections reflect your current in-game state — for example, that a collection item you know you've shipped shows as complete. If the data looks stale, confirm you uploaded the most recent save.

Keep in mind the site states support for versions 1.6 through 1.6.9. If your save is from a different version, the parsed results may not match your game.

Option 2: Create a farmhand (manual)

Use this when you can't or don't want to upload a save file. Creating a farmhand lets you track progress toward perfection by updating it yourself.

  1. On stardew.app, choose Create a farmhand.
  2. Set up the profile, then work through the Player, Collections, Ginger Island, and Misc sections, marking what you've completed.
  3. Expected result: a checklist you maintain by hand.
  4. Verify: spot-check a few entries against your in-game menus after your first pass to catch missed marks.

The trade-off is clear: uploading is faster and less error-prone, while manual entry works without a save file but depends on you remembering to update it.

Keep progress across devices

The site offers Log in with Discord to link your account and save your data across devices. If you play or check progress on more than one machine, link the account before you start entering or uploading data so your tracker state follows you.

Using the tracker as a plan

Once your data is in, the practical workflow is:

  • Open each section and list what's incomplete.
  • Group remaining items by activity — for example, batch collection-related tasks together rather than bouncing between goals.
  • Re-upload or update after long play sessions so the tracker stays accurate.
  • Re-check the Misc section last, since leftover milestones there are easy to overlook.

The source code is also viewable on GitHub via the link on the site, which is useful if you want to understand how progress is calculated.
