BrickBag
Read full descriptionHide full description
A LEGO set isn't just a model. It's an experience — opening each numbered bag in sequence, building section by section, exactly the way LEGO intended. BrickBag lets you have that experience again and again. We built BrickBag because we needed it ourselves. After disassembling sets and storing them, we realized there was no way to sort the parts back into their original numbered bags — the data simply didn't exist anywhere. So we built it. Our bag-by-bag parts data is extracted directly from official LEGO building instructions. Every part, every bag, every quantity — accurate to the original box contents. RELIVE THE BUILD Sort your parts back into their original numbered bags and experience your set exactly as LEGO designed it — from Bag 1 to the final piece. Whether it's your third build or your tenth, it always feels like the first. FOR COLLECTORS Restore any set to factory condition for proper storage, display rotation, or lending to a friend. Protect your investment and keep every set rebuild-ready. FOR RESELLERS LEGO sets command significantly higher resale prices when parts are sorted back into their original bags. BrickBag gives you the reference to get there — and a PDF to include with your listing. FREE FOR EVERY SET No purchase needed to research any set in our catalog. Every set page includes bag and piece counts, direct links to Instructions, BrickLink, Rebrickable, Brickset, and LEGO.com, plus live market value data showing average prices and what sets are actually selling for on eBay. BrickBag is the fastest way to research a LEGO set before you buy, sell, or sort it. CHECK MODE Designed for the sorting table. Work through each bag one part at a time, tapping as you find each piece. Completed parts move to a Found pile automatically. Progress saves between sessions so you can sort at your own pace. PDF EXPORT Generate a printable bag breakdown for any set. Keep it at your sorting table, pack it with a resale listing, or store it with the set as a permanent reference. PRICING One-time unlock per set, priced by size: - Small (under 500 pcs) — $0.99 - Medium (500–1,500 pcs) — $1.99 - Large (1,501–3,000 pcs) — $2.99 - Mega (3,001+ pcs) — $3.99 Yours forever. No subscription. Building is only the beginning.
Lyklaborð

The keyboard that actually knows Icelandic — and types excellent English on the same layout. Lyklaborð is what a third-party keyboard should have been for Iceland: one Icelandic layout that fluently blends Icelandic and English as you type, autocorrect that understands Icelandic inflection, on-device learning you fully control, and a hard privacy guarantee you can verify in the source. Free base keyboard. Open source. No account required. No telemetry. No AI bloat. On-device learning of your own words is an optional subscription, Lyklaborð+. WRITE ACCENT-NAKED Dropping accents is an input method, not a typo. Type "flytjum i bud" at full speed and get "flytjum í búð" — the keyboard restores the accents for you, so you never have to reach for a long-press. THE FIRST KEYBOARD THAT UNDERSTANDS INFLECTION All 3 million word forms from BÍN (Beygingarlýsing íslensks nútímamáls) are valid vocabulary, and suggestions follow case and context — "frá" takes the dative, and the keyboard knows it. No other keyboard on any platform actually inflects Icelandic. ICELANDIC AND ENGLISH, ON ONE LAYOUT A two-lane language model follows you between languages. One-off English words — a "deploy", a brand name — never derail you, and the keyboard never hijacks your language mid-sentence. When you genuinely switch to English, it comes with you. No 2-language limit, no language toggle. CORRECTS LESS, NOT MORE A word that's valid in either language is never silently replaced, and the exact word you typed always sits in the suggestion bar, quoted, as an escape hatch. URLs, emails, and abbreviations are left alone. When the spacebar's neighbour is the more likely key, it's treated as a hypothesis, not a typo ("smelirna" → "smellir á"). YOUR VOCABULARY, TRULY YOURS (LYKLABORÐ+) The optional Lyklaborð+ subscription adds the personal layer: the keyboard learns the words you type, entirely on your device. You can inspect every learned word, delete them one by one — and deletions stick, so a removed word is never silently re-learned. Switching from SwiftKey? Import your vocabulary from a SwiftKey data export in one step. Nothing you type in password, URL, or email fields is ever recorded. If your subscription ever lapses, nothing is deleted — your learned words stay on your device, paused, and exporting your data is always free. ZERO NETWORKING CODE The keyboard extension contains no network code at all — no phoning home, no analytics, no data collection, no terms to accept. This isn't a promise; it's verifiable in the source. The whole app and keyboard are open source under the MIT license, so you can read exactly what it does. The App Store privacy label is "Data Not Collected." Optional iCloud sync keeps your personal dictionary with you across your own devices — encrypted with AES-256-GCM before it leaves your device, with the key held only in your iCloud Keychain. Not our server. Not readable by us, or by Apple. BUILT FOR SWITCHERS Familiar muscle memory: a "." key with a long-press punctuation cluster, spacebar cursor control, and double-space period. Works fully without Full Access — typing, autocorrect, and prediction never need it; Full Access only turns on personal-dictionary sync and typing haptics (iOS blocks keyboard haptics without it). Icelandic language data is derived from BÍN, © Árni Magnússon Institute for Icelandic Studies, used under the BÍN conditions. Made in Iceland.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lyklaborð at none against BrickBag's 4. BrickBag's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
