Ever spent an entire evening perfectly placing every keg and beehive on your PC, only to realize you’re stuck staring at a spreadsheet the next day instead of finishing your masterpiece?
StardewSync bridges the gap between your desk and your pocket. It’s a lightweight, cross-platform save manager that ensures your grind never has to stop, making your gameplay as flexible as a Forest Farm layout.
The biggest headache with cross-platform saves is the UI. A save file optimized for a small mobile screen looks massive and awkward on a 27-inch PC monitor.
StardewSync handles the math for you. It automatically detects your device's display and rewrites the resolution, UI scale, and zoom level within your save file during the transfer. When you move your save from Android to PC, it’s already perfectly upscaled for your desktop—no menu-fiddling required.
We’ve kept the setup lean and native to your OS so you can spend more time farming and less time configuring:
- Linux Power: Uses
rclonefor robust cloud backups and Zenity for a clean, one-click GUI. - Windows Integration: Leverages built-in OneDrive support for a seamless, "set it and forget it" experience.
- Zero Manual Work: The app automatically detects your save folder paths and device resolution, ensuring your data is always secure and your view is always clear.
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Auto-Resolution | Seamlessly scales mobile saves up for the big screen. |
| One-Click Sync | Backup or restore your farm in seconds. |
| Cloud-Agnostic | Works with your existing storage (OneDrive/Rclone). |
| Smart Detection | Automatically finds your save folders and hardware specs. |
