BuyBye is a shared grocery-list app available on Android, iOS, and the web. Lists can be shared by link and update across phones in real time. Items are grouped automatically into categories such as Produce and Dairy, and users can add them by voice in seven languages. Recipe imports place ingredients into categories, while a meal planner lets users schedule meals and send their ingredients to a shopping list. Lists are stored locally, with edits syncing when the network returns. The interface and voice input support English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Hindi, and Japanese. An account is optional when starting a list; an account is used for sharing and syncing across phones. The Free plan is 0.00 USD per free and allows five lists, two people per list, five recipes, and current-week meal planning. Pro costs 9.99 USD per year, or $1.99/month; Pro Family costs 14.99 USD per year and supports up to six linked accounts. The maker notes that some Android browsers may show a Play Protect warning when installing the web app.
