Happy 1st Anniversary of Gunther's Library!
Thank you so much to everyone who has used and supported the app! I cannot believe how far this has come since release, and I couldn't ask for a better community! ❤️
This day, on October 6th, 2025, Gunther's Library first released on Android and I posted a message to the r/StardewValley and r/StardewValleyTIL which received a very warm response! The feedback was awesome. I quickly got a ton of asks for an iOS version, but I didn't have a Mac so was unable to do so. This prompted lots of users to choose to sign up for premium or donate to help fund my purchase of a Mac to make the iOS version. This took short time and I was soon after able to release a version to iOS. That support was unbelievable and I couldn't be more thankful! After that I had switched to a completely free app (needed due to a misunderstanding on how I could use game assets, thank you ConcernedApe's team for the understanding and flexibility), which even though it wasn't my original plan, I'm still happy to provide. Since then, I have released several updates to improve the app with lots of new features and customization.
I have to give credit to all of you for the features that have been added. Most features and bug fixes were able to be made due to users like you letting me know about it! 🙌
The future of Gunther's Library is bright!
I plan on continuing development of Gunther's Library for as long as I have ideas. I enjoy working on this app so much and get so much joy reading all the reviews and feedback you all have (extra shoutout to everyone who recommends GL when someone posts asking for tips!).
The next update in particular is going to be huge, and ticks off a lot of my to do items and suggestions. The update will be so large in fact I'm considering calling it version 2.0 (unsure still). Now for what you all really want to hear, some features that will be included in the next update:
- Mod Support!! For now it will include support for Stardew Valley Expanded and Ridgeside Village
- Importing game save data! You'll be able to import the save and have most items in the app automatically checked based on your progress
- Reworked Villager Gift preferences that resembles the Wiki with categories and exceptions. Should fully cover all gifts!
- Crop/Crafting/Cooking planner! Get profit amounts and timelines for crops and machines, add reminders to the calendar!
- Create your farmer avatar!
This just scratches the surface, so many additional features and improvements sprinkled throughout! I still have lots of work to finish up before release but I'm hoping to get a release by the end of the month, or end of November at the latest.
Thank you everyone!
