What would YOUR tier list look like? Tier List Maker: Pikd makes ranking anything easy, beautiful, and shareable. Drag and drop photos or text into custom tiers, discover your unique ranker personality, and get a fresh ranking prompt every single day. RANK EVERYTHING Create tier lists for anything, movies, music, food, friends, anime, games, fashion, or whatever you want. Add photos from your camera roll, search for images. Customize your tier colors, and layout. DAILY PROMPTS: Every day, Pikd (your ranking buddy) gives you a new prompt to rank. "Best pizza toppings." "Most rewatchable movies." "Songs that changed your life." Never run out of things to rank. YOUR RANKER PERSONALITY: After ranking enough lists, Pikd reveals your Ranker Type. Are you The Diplomat (balanced picks), The Hot Take (controversial rankings), or The Purist (by-the-book)? Share your type and see how your friends compare. SHARE YOUR RANKINGS Export your tier list as a clean, shareable card. Post it to TikTok, Instagram, iMessage, or anywhere. Every card features your custom tier list with a Pik watermark — your rankings, your style. DESIGNED DIFFERENT While every other tier list app looks the same (dark mode, generic UI), Pikd is bright, bold, and full of character. Light mode design. Lavender and yellow palette. And Pik — a friendly blob who lives in your app and reacts to your rankings. Download Pikd and start ranking. Pik is waiting. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdfla/
