Bag Dragon
How Bag Dragon Works
Bag Dragon combines a local-first desktop collection manager with Dragon Web, Dragon Link, and a growing moderator-reviewed master catalog.

The Bag Dragon Ecosystem
Local Collection. Shared Catalog. One Connected Workflow.
Bag Dragon keeps your personal collection on your own computer. Dragon Web hosts the public master catalog, licensed web tools, community submissions, and owner/admin workflows. Dragon Link securely connects the desktop app to those online features.
Your private collection data does not need to live in the cloud. You choose when to import approved catalog information, submit a missing bag, or use connected Dragon Web features.
Five Simple Steps
How the Main Workflow Works
Build Your Hoard
Add bags manually or import approved catalog entries into your local collection.
Organize Locally
Track photos, values, grails, notes, status, storage, and collection details on your computer.
Connect with Dragon Link
Open licensed Dragon Web tools from the desktop app through a signed session.
Contribute Missing Bags
Submit catalog-style information from the app without uploading your private collection data.
Moderator Review
Approved submissions move into the public master catalog for the whole community.

Shared Catalog
Dragon Web and the Master Catalog
Public Catalog
Anyone can browse approved catalog entries by name, brand, franchise, character, bag type, and other public fields.
Moderator Review
Community submissions do not become public automatically. They enter a review queue for approval, correction, or rejection.
Controlled Taxonomy
Brands, franchises, characters, bag types, and exclusives use controlled vocabularies to keep the catalog consistent as it grows.
