Rungs: Rank Anything

You already know what you love. You just can't put it in order.

Ask someone to rate a coffee out of ten and they'll stall. Was that an 8? An 8.5? What does 8.5 even mean? But ask them which of two coffees was better and they'll answer instantly — and they'll be right.

That's the whole idea behind Rungs.

HOW TO USE IT

1. Tap one of the starter ladders on the first screen, or make your own — give it a name, an icon and a colour.
2. Open the ladder and tap "Add something". Type a name, and add a photo or a note if you like.
3. Answer one gut check: Loved it, Liked it, or Not for me. Don't think about it.
4. Now the duels. Rungs shows you two cards — the new thing and something already on your ladder — and asks which is better. Tap whichever you prefer.
5. Three or four taps later it's done. The item lands at its exact rank with a score out of ten, and everything around it re-settles.

Press and hold any row to rank it again or remove it. Tap the button at the top right to export your ladder as a share card.

WHY IT WORKS

The score is never something you invent. It comes from where the item actually landed, so it stays honest as your ladder grows. Underneath it is a binary search, which is why a ladder of a hundred things still only takes about four taps.

WHAT YOU GET

• Unlimited ladders for anything you want to rank • Head-to-head comparisons instead of star ratings • A real score out of ten, derived from position • A podium for your top three • Photos and notes on anything you add • Eight covers so every ladder feels like its own place • Beautiful share cards, built to be posted • Re-rank anything whenever your taste changes • Search once a ladder gets long • Full CSV export — your data leaves as easily as it arrived

PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION

There is no account. There is no sign-in. There is no server.

Rungs never sends your rankings anywhere, because there is nowhere to send them. Everything lives on your device and works with the plane in airplane mode. We don't collect analytics, we don't have a login, and we couldn't read your ladders if we wanted to.

ONE PAYMENT

Rungs is free to try: three ladders, fifteen things on each.

Rungs Pro is a single purchase — no subscription, ever — and unlocks unlimited ladders and unlimited rungs, every cover, share cards without our badge, and CSV export. Buy it once, keep it forever, share it with your family.
