A food business or donor posts available surplus food.
Development resumed · Open source
Food sharing,
made local.
Banana App is designed to help surplus food move directly from where it is available to nearby people who can use it—quickly, practically, and with dignity.
Volunteer-built civic technologyThe idea
Less waste.
More connection.
Food businesses and community donors often have good food that cannot be sold. Banana App explores a direct, time- and location-aware way for that food to reach people instead of becoming waste.
How it works
Match
Nearby community members see time- and location-relevant offers.
Pick up
Food moves directly from where it is available to where it is needed.
The technology
Rebuilding responsibly.
The existing public code spans mobile, web administration, and backend services. The next version puts privacy, reliability, accessibility, and a simpler experience at the center.
Current chapter

We are returning to the codebase.
Earlier iOS releases established the concept. The current team is reviewing what should be preserved, modernized, simplified, or retired before a new public release.
