How it works

Anything with a name. Films, albums, books, people, places, habits, worries, projects. If it keeps coming back to you, it belongs on the list. One line is enough; the emoji is optional and yours.

Position is the only order there is. Number one owns you today. The bar on the chart is the weight of the position: 1 fills the track, 10 keeps a quarter.

Drag a row, or focus its handle and use the arrow keys. Home puts it on top.

It cools. The row turns grey and short and moves under the “Cooled down” divider. Nothing is deleted: it’s still yours, still on the map, and still matching. Drag it back up whenever it flares again.

The chart carries none of this: slurs, swearing, hate, adult content, links, phone numbers or addresses. A refused name says which, and nothing is kept. The rule is a list of words in the languages people write here, checked as you type, plus a second read of public names by a model; honest names that merely contain a bad word pass. Refused by mistake? Tell us through Write to us. The terms say the whole of it.

Yes. Open the thing and choose Remove; the button restates what it’s about to remove. Matches and warmth on it go with it. Cooling is usually enough.

Yes. Open it and choose Rename. A new name is another thing: it keeps its place on your list, its note and its steps, but the matches on the old name go, and whoever carries the new name matches you. A private thing stays private.

On your own rows, with the mouse over one: a heart makes it a favourite, an eye keeps it to yourself, the arrow puts it on top, the handle drags. On somebody else’s rows: a plus picks it up onto your own list, at number one (tap the tick to take it off again), a bookmark saves it in Later, a berry treats them. The heart is in the sheet behind the row.

Everyone with a public list has a card, like a trading card: a number in the set by when they came, a type from the kind their list carries most, their top three, their berries, streak and people, their bio as the line at the foot. The card is alive: it changes with their list.

A card comes to you when you and someone share two things or more, or one of you gives the other a berry. It arrives sealed in Matches, under Cards, for you to turn over. Rarity is measured against everyone: berries count twice, people who feel the same once.

The bookmark on somebody else’s row saves the thing without putting it on your list. It waits in Later, under your chart on Pulse, up to 8 things, until you choose Onto the list (it lands at number one) or Let it go. Deciding later is allowed.

A thing you both carry: the tick is where it sits on your list, on the same scale as their bar, and “yours 3” after the value says it in words. Higher for you, or for them, in one glance.

It’s the thing you’d keep if you could keep one. It carries a small heart beside its name on your public chart, your favourites are listed on your report, and across everyone they add up: Discover has a Loved ranking, counted one heart per person.

It’s the reaction: it reaches their inbox with your name, and it counts on that row. A second tap takes it back. Open the row to find it: on the row itself the quick gesture is the berry.

A line for yourself: why it’s there, what it reminds you of. Notes autosave and are visible to anyone who can see your list, so keep them as public as the row. Change a note and the one before it stays under the field, dated: why it mattered then.

The list remembers every move. Your week, on your report, shows what spent time at number one, what rose, what cooled, what was new; switch it to a month. Under the chart, once there is a past, a line says what was on top a year ago today.

Yes. Your week, on your report, has Share the week: save it as a post or a story with what held number one and what moved, in the report’s look. Only you can make it; anyone can see it once you post it.

“Still your number one?” appears once a day above the chart. Yes keeps count of how long the thing has held the top; Something else opens Add. Skip it and nothing happens. After a week without a move it asks about the whole list instead: Yes, all of it, or Something else.

Everything you have ever carried, by kind, with the numbers only time gives: how many things, how many kinds, your longest run at number one, the day of your list. Reached from Your week or the index.

Yes. Settings, under Account: the whole list with every position it has held and every note, as JSON or Markdown. Only you can download it.

Your face: the emoji of your number one. It isn’t chosen; it changes when your list does, and everyone sees the same one. Put something else on top and you’re it. Private rows never show, so a hidden thing stays hidden.

What you’ll do about a thing on your list, and when. Open the thing on Pulse and add one: “Book the tickets” for a trip, “Call her” for somebody. Each thing has one next step at a time. It’s yours alone: nobody else sees it, and it never shows on your public list.

A clock by the thing’s name says it has a next step, and after the bar you read how long is left; it turns hot once it’s late. The ones due today sit over your chart as Today’s steps, each one tick away, with Tomorrow and Change beside it. A tick can be taken back with Undo on the note that follows it.

Into Done, on the thing’s sheet, newest first, with when you did each one. Bring back makes one the next step again; Again adds a new next step with the same name and keeps the old one in Done. Like the steps, Done is yours alone.

Pick when: at the time, an hour before, a day before, or that morning (9:00 your time). A reminder always lands in your inbox; with Telegram connected it reaches your phone too. Your time zone comes from your device, and Settings shows which one is in use.

A repeating step doesn’t leave when you tick it: it moves on to its next day (every day, weekdays, every week or every month). A day missed is skipped, not piled up.

Matches lists every thing of yours that somebody else carries, sized by the crowd. Open one to see who they are and where it sits on their lists. The Inbox tells you when a new match lands.

One berry ripens for you each day, in the basket next to Add. It waits for you to pick it: hold it until the ring closes. The ring around it shows how long until the next one, and the basket holds five.

Berries are for giving: tap the berry on somebody else’s row and theirs turns blue at the end. One berry per row per day, never to your own. The Berries tab in Discover shows the rows given the most this week, and last week’s sweetest wears a crown. Picking day after day grows a streak (one missed day a week is forgiven) and earns badges, and a long one makes the basket bigger. Berries are free and are never sold.

The moment after a match has one reply: a Warm to everyone who carries the same thing, 50 at most, each one a normal reaction in their inbox. People you already reached are left alone. Say hello in one tap, or See who they are first.

The heart in somebody else’s row sheet: one per person per row, and you can take it back. It reaches their inbox with your name and counts on the row. It says “seen” without a conversation.

Match happens by itself when two lists overlap. Follow is one-way: what they pick up shows in your activity. Friend goes both ways: one asks, the other accepts. None of them changes your list.

Where to say hello. Set your handle on Telegram, Instagram or X in Settings and your friends see it on your page, in your matches and in the moment you match; nobody else does, unless you switch it to everyone. Friends also come first in every crowd: on Matches, under a thing, in the faces after you name one. A request shows what the two of you already share, so saying yes is easy.

Only Activity: what the people you follow picked up, newest first, and it ends. Nothing is recommended to you and nothing is ranked by engagement.

Discover is the whole map: every thing on anybody's public list, ranked by how many carry it, how often it matches, what’s rising this week, what people call a favourite, and what just landed. Every number is counted from real lists.

Anyone who opens your profile, unless you make the list private. Position, title, emoji and note are visible; nothing else about you is.

Yes. Open it and switch it to private. A private thing stays on your list, keeps its position, and stops matching anyone. Nobody else can see it.

In Settings, Keep my list private hides the whole list and pauses every match. Your profile, followers and friends stay. Switch it back and matching resumes where it was.

Little, and all of it listed on the privacy page: the account, the list and its memory, who you follow. No tracking pixels, and nothing about you sold. Settings exports it all and can delete it all.

No recommendation engine. Nothing about you is sold, and nothing is pushed at you. What you see is what people put on their lists.

By the people who make it, and by people who chip in. If hbger has been worth something to you, Support the project has the ways: become a keeper (Stars every month), or give once in Stars, by card through Tribute, or in TON or USDT on TON. Giving once is voluntary and changes nothing about your account; a keeper also keeps more circles. The list stays free.

Someone who chips in every month: 250 Stars, paid inside Telegram. A keeper keeps up to ten circles of fifty people each (a free circle holds ten), and Pricing has the rest side by side. Telegram renews it every thirty days by itself; cancel any time in Telegram’s settings, under Stars. You’re a keeper until the month you paid for is over, and the bot says thank you the first time. Keepers can wear a honey ring round their face; it’s off until you turn it on in Settings. Press the button while logged in, so the ring knows whose it is.

Three kinds, all optional: when somebody feels the same about a thing on your list (at most once a day), when somebody asks to be friends, and your week, once a week. Switch them off in Settings, under Privacy; the inbox keeps working either way.

Short procedural clicks and chords on the things you do: a drop, a save, a match, the crown when something reaches number one. Nothing plays until you touch something. Sound is in your menu and in the footer; Settings has the level.

Settings. Changing the handle changes your profile URL; old links stop working. The face isn’t chosen: it’s the emoji of your public number one, and it changes when your list does.

Dark by default. Theme is in your menu and in the footer; logged out, it’s the sun and moon button in the top bar. The choice is remembered on this device.

On a mouse, the page draws its own: a dot where the click lands and a ring a beat behind. The ring opens on a link, takes a row’s heat on the chart, stands up on the drag handle, and steps aside in a text field. Settings turns it off; a phone never sees it.

Settings, under Account, has Log out. Logging out keeps everything where it is; log back in and the list is exactly as you left it.
