Overview
StarNote is the in-game achievement and leveling system in Starsand Island. It is a phone app accessible from the in-game phone menu (press Tab). You earn experience by completing themed objectives, and as you accumulate enough XP, you level up and can claim rewards. The system goes up to Level 45 in Early Access.
StarNote is one of the primary ways to earn Starsand the premium currency used for Land Expansion, profession skill upgrades in the Workpedia, and Island Life milestones.
How it works
Open the StarNote app on your phone.
Browse available tasks organized by category.
Complete tasks during normal gameplay, many tasks are retroactive (e.g., if you already opened Gachapons before the task appeared, they still count).
When enough XP accumulates, return to the StarNote app to manually claim your level-up and rewards.

Tips
Check the StarNote app regularly, rewards must be manually claimed.
Many tasks are retroactive, so do not worry about the order you complete things.
Levels 3, 9, 27, and 45 reward the exclusive Black Cat furniture set, a popular home decor theme.
Starsand earned from StarNote is your most reliable source of the currency early in the game. Save it for Land Expansion unless you urgently need profession upgrades.
The StarNote levels up naturally as you play. Focus on enjoying the game rather than grinding specific tasks.
