Hey everyone, I've been working on this app called Cyber Bag for a while now and it just got approved on the App Store. Figured I'd share it here to get some feedback.

The basic idea: grocery prices are all over the place and nobody really knows what things cost at different stores. So I built something where the community reports prices — you can scan a receipt and it automatically pulls all the items and prices into the system. Over time it builds up a real picture of what things cost and where. You can choose to just upload the receipts (cut out all sensitive info if any) and I will just update the database on my free time.

A few more features that you might need

Recipe import — Import by url, you can also share a post from Instagram/Tiktok to the app itself to start importing. It works best if the description has the recipe.

Meal planning + shopping — Plan your meals for the week, it generates a shopping list fromthe recipes, and shows you which store has the best prices for what you need. It even tracks what's in your pantry so you know what you already have.

Recipe discovery — Search by ingredients you have on hand. It tells you what you can make right now vs what you're missing 1-2 items for. You can fork other people's recipes to make your own version. Speaking of which, you can have a collection of recipes too. You will see little to none on the app curently because I dont want to mass import recipes on the internet that no one is going to use. You can import recipe that you use as personal or submit it for public use and I will review it.

Price tracking — Every price submission is tied to a specific store location. You can see price history, get alerts when something drops, and the app learns from receipts so it getssmarter over time. Currently there isnt much data from real user so hopefully we could get some traction and make this feature work.

Food sharing — Got extra produce? Leftovers you won't eat? Post it for someone nearby to pick up. We've got a little messaging system built in for coordinating pickups. When we have enough user, this would be a great feature to help reduce waste.

Restaurant reviews — Post reviews with dish-by-dish ratings, menu photos, the whole deal. This is an afterthought but I think it's nice since it's food related and I just find google reviews not good enough just yet.

Cook mode — Step-by-step instructions with timers so you can actually cook hands-free.

Barcode scanning — Scan any product to help add it to our database and grow the community.

It's free, no ads, and available on iOS. There's also a web version at cyberbag.ca

Would love to hear what you think or if you have suggestions. I'm a solo dev so any feedback helps.

Cyber Bag is a free app (no ads, no paywall) that does a few things:

Price tracking

- Log prices you see at the store — manually, by scanning a barcode, or by uploading your grocery receipt. Or just upload receipts and I will do all the work in the backend.

- Receipt scanner read every line item and log them all at once

- Prices are tied to specific stores, not just chains — so you can compare.

- Community-powered: every price you log helps other shoppers in your area

Meal planning + pantry

- Plan meals on a calendar, drag recipes between days

- Shopping lists auto-generate from your meal plan

- Pantry tracks what you have, when it expires, and what you paid

- When you cook a recipe, it deducts ingredients from your pantry automatically

Recipe discovery - you can have as many as you want in your personal collection but we will review every single one before they made it to the public.

- Search by ingredients you already have — shows match percentage

- Import recipes from URL

- Fork and customize other people's recipes

- Substitution suggestions on every ingredient

Shopping mode

- Open it when you walk into a store

- Shows your list with a floor plan so you know where things are

- Check items off, log prices as you go, and everything syncs to your pantry

Social feed

- Post restaurant reviews with dish ratings and menu photos

- Share food you can't finish before it expires (food rescue)

- Ask questions on recipes and products

Offline Mode (Upcoming)

- Basically able to work with recipes/shopping list offline.

Available on:

- Web: https://cyberbag.ca

- iOS

- Android: coming soon (in testing, I do need enough testers to push this to public so feel free to drop emails and I will add you guys in)

It supports both CAD and USD. Currently most price data is from the Vancouver/BC area since that's where I am, but the more people use it the better it gets everywhere.

What would make this actually useful to you?
