Listmaking, for those with serious opinions. A small app for putting things in order. Drag, reorder, admire, revisit. Make a list about anything: your favorite films, the worst airports, your local restaurants that actually deserve respect. Change the order whenever you want, and save items that aren't ready to be ranked yet. The number one slot is supposed to be earned. WHAT'S INSIDE Drag to re-rank: The whole point. Hold any entry and move it; the list reorders with a little haptic snap. Categories with vibes: Group lists into themes like Film or Snacks, each with its own emoji and color you choose. Reminders: Set a reminder to revisit a list. "Re-rank my top albums on December 31." A bell quietly waits. Search everything: Find any list, category, or single entry across your whole library, fast. Share: Send a ranked list to Messages, Notes, or anywhere. The numbers carry over. Brag accordingly. Syncs everywhere: Your lists ride along with your iCloud account, so they're there when you set up a new device.
