Escape from Tarkov Companion
TarkovBuddy
A cleaner, Next.js-based tracker for quests, items, hideout planning, storyline progression, interactive maps, route optimization, and stream overlays.
About TarkovBuddy
TarkovBuddy is built as a practical Escape from Tarkov workspace. The goal is not just to list quests, but to keep progression, items, hideout needs, route planning, and map context connected in one place.
The project has now been moved from standalone HTML pages into Next.js. That gives the app a cleaner structure for navigation, metadata, APIs, and future feature work while keeping the same storage model users already rely on.
Quest Tracking
Track Kappa, Lightkeeper, BTR, and storyline progression with shared progress, dependencies, and practical filters.
Interactive Map
Use local map images, overlays, quest markers, extracts, spawns, story markers, coordinate capture, and map-side quest completion.
Item and Hideout Planning
Keep quest items and hideout requirements in sync with progression so completed content drops out automatically.
Optimizer and Profits
Plan quest routing, evaluate trader value, inspect crafts and barters, and reduce wasted raids and resets.
Cloud Sync
Use the tracker locally by default or sign in to sync progress across devices without changing how the tools work.
OBS Overlays
Expose compact progression overlays for streams while keeping the tracker itself as the main control surface.

v2.0 - Migration to Next.js
Core Rebuild- Converted the project from standalone HTML pages to a Next.js application structure.
- Moved routing, metadata, shared UI, and API access into a more maintainable codebase.
- Kept the same progression model so local tracking and signed-in sync continue to work across the migration.

v1.x - Tracker foundation
Foundation- Built the original quest, quest items, hideout, and optimizer tooling.
- Added cloud sync, local persistence fallback, and cross-page progress reuse.

Data and Sync
Progress is stored locally in the browser by default. When you sign in, the app can sync that progress through the configured backend so quest, item, and hideout state can follow you across devices.
The migration to Next.js was done without changing the core storage approach, which is important for keeping existing users on the same local and signed-in progression path.
