What's new in Tiero

A calmer Customize panel.

A place for everything

Customize had grown into one long scroll. Its settings now live in labelled groups — Look, Tiers, Tiles, Images, and your lists — and each one folds away, so you can keep just the part you're working on open. Whatever you collapse stays collapsed next time.

Smoother scrolling on phones

Scrolling the Customize sheet no longer stalls when your finger happens to land on a tier's name field — you can now flick anywhere in the list to scroll.

Tiles get their own shapes, their own copies — and tier names get room to breathe.

Shape belongs to the tile

Shape is now a per-tile choice: pick Square, Rounded, or Circle in the tile's panel, and the option highlighted is what the tile actually looks like. The shape setting in Customize turned into a default — it decides the shape of tiles you add from now on, and never silently re-skins the ones you've already placed.

Duplicate a tile

A new Duplicate button next to Remove — in the tile inspector and for multi-selections. Copies reuse the same image, so duplicating costs no extra space, and the image stays around until the last copy of it is gone.

And you'll know it worked: a small confirmation tells you where the copy landed — right beside the original, in its tier or on the bench — with an Undo at hand if you didn't mean it.

Tier names on top

Naming tiers with whole sentences? There's a new home for them. In Customize, switch tier names to "On top" and each name gets its own full-width tab above the row — no more squeezing into the narrow side column. The saved image, shared links, and the reveal all follow along.

Long tier names finally behave.

Words stay whole

Name a tier with a full sentence and it no longer gets chopped mid-word. The label shrinks just enough for every word to fit, and when a word is truly too long, it breaks with a proper hyphen — in English and Russian alike. Same fix everywhere: the editor, the saved image, shared links, and the reveal.

A tidier phone header

The reveal button moved out of the top bar and into the Share sheet — that's where "show this to people" lives anyway. Undo and redo got slightly bigger touch targets, so they're easier to hit without looking.

Backgrounds, explained

On a phone, a long list covers most of the background — so the Customize panel now says it plainly: the saved image always shows your background in full.

A pocket-sized patch: the phone gets what the desktop already had, plus two fit-and-finish fixes.

Phone parity, two fixes

Board backgrounds now actually show behind the board on the phone (they quietly didn't), and Reveal sits in the phone's top bar too.

Small polish

The AI take now fits its whole sentence in the share dialog instead of scrolling inside a cramped box, and the serif option in Customize no longer looks suspiciously small next to its neighbors.

Your browser stops being a one-list town: keep every board you make, switch freely — and let two of them argue.

More than one list at last

The one-list-per-browser era is over. Your lists in Customize keeps every board you've made: "New tier list" now parks the current one there instead of asking to destroy it, opening a backup or a shared copy does the same, and you can hop between lists any time. Images stay put; deleting a parked list cleans its pictures up too.

Find the ten differences

Every list in Your lists has a compare button: it lines your current board up against that one, item by item — same names, different tiers, sorted by how loudly you disagree with yourself — with an agreement score on top. Re-rank a topic a month later and see what changed; or compare your list against a friend's copy.

A release for the showmen: your board learned to keep an audience waiting.

Reveal your tiers one at a time

The new Reveal button plays your board like a countdown: tiers uncover one by one, bottom-up for suspense, top-down if you'd rather open with the S tier, or on your click when you want to narrate. Works on shared links too — add ?reveal=1 to a share URL and it starts on its own, which makes a clean full-screen source for streams.

A small release with a sharp tongue: your board can now get an opinion about itself.

An outside opinion on your rankings

The share dialog can now fetch an AI take — one playful, slightly pointed sentence about your board ("Putting that at B is a choice."). Edit it, ask for another, or remove it; if you keep it, it rides along with your share link and gets printed under the title on the exported image.

Two ways your list stops being trapped in one browser: spreadsheets paste straight in, and the whole thing packs into a single file.

Paste a spreadsheet, get covers

"Paste a list" now reads spreadsheet rows: a name plus a link to a picture, and the tile arrives with its cover already on. Bare links in the paste become link tiles, same as the single add form. Plain names stay instant and offline, exactly as before.

Your list, in one file

Customize → Workspace grows a Back up button: it downloads your whole list — images included — as a single file. Restore opens it anywhere, so you can move a list to another browser or computer, or just keep a copy that's safe from a cleared cache.

This one's a styling kit: give your list its own typeface, hang a new backdrop, cut tiles into shapes — and sign your exports while you're at it.

Pick a typeface

Your list has a voice now. In Customize, choose how the title and tier letters read: the theme's own pairing, a clean sans, an editorial serif, or a technical mono. The choice travels with shared links, so viewers see the same voice you set.

Three new backgrounds

The background gallery grows: Grain adds a quiet film-grain texture, Backdrop lights the board like a studio wall, and Strip runs an editorial accent band down the left edge. All three adapt to your theme, and travel with shared links like the rest.

Cut a tile into a shape

Any tile can now break the grid: pick Circle, Hex, or Diamond in the inspector and that one cover gets cut into the shape — handy for marking a favorite or just making the board less square. Auto puts it back in line with the rest.

A signature on your exports

Downloaded boards now carry a small Tiero mark in the corner — so when your list makes the rounds, people know where to make their own. Don't want it? There's a checkbox in the share dialog; untick it before you export.

This one's about making a list look like yours — fresh colors, a backdrop, better-looking links — plus a couple of quiet wins for filling lists and keeping shared ones current.

Recolor every tier in one click

Customize now has color palettes — Rainbow, Heat, Mono, Pastel. Pick one and all your tier rows take on the new ramp at once, instead of nudging each color by hand.

Give your board a backdrop

New board backgrounds in Customize — a soft glow, a grid, dots, or a gentle wash behind your tiers. Your pick rides along to shared links and exported images, not just the editor.

Covers peek into your link previews

Share a list with cover art and the preview card that unfurls in chats and feeds now shows a glimpse of your real covers, not just the tier names — so a shared link actually looks like your list.

Refresh a shared link in place

Tweaked your list after sharing it? Open Your shared links and hit refresh on any one — it takes on the list you have open now, same address, new contents. Everyone who already has the link sees the update. Creating a link still makes a brand-new one, so you can keep a frozen snapshot whenever you'd rather.

Paste your whole list at once

Already have your list written down? Hit "Add item," switch to Paste a list, and drop it in — one name per line. Tiero turns each line into its own tile, no typing them out one at a time.

The Paper theme finds its inside voice, and copied links give you a friendlier nod.

Paper, in its natural case

Switch to the Paper theme and its little labels now read in calm, natural case instead of ALL CAPS — a better fit for its quiet, editorial feel.

Copy, confirmed

Copy a link from your shared-links list and the button flashes a checkmark, just like the main Share dialog — so you can see it landed.

Your shared links now have a home — and an off switch.

Your shared links, in one place

Every link you make now shows up under "Your shared links" in the Share dialog. Copy it again, open it, or delete it for good — deleting takes the link down for everyone, so you can tidy up the ones you no longer want out there. The list lives in the browser you made them in.

A few small touches for anyone sharing their lists.

A copy button, right on the link

Once your share link is ready, there's a copy button sitting next to it now — one tap to grab it again, with a checkmark so you know it landed. The link still copies itself the moment it's made; this is for the second time you reach for it.

Previews that load faster and read cleaner

The image that shows up when you share a link now comes back quicker the next time around. And the tier names on it hold their contrast against any color you pick, so a bright tier and a muted one both stay legible at a glance.

A round of fixes so your lists travel better.

Previews that read

The image that shows up when you share a link now renders your title correctly in any language — Russian, and anything else, no longer comes out as scrambled boxes.

Names, your call when you save

The Share dialog has a "Show names on tiles" checkbox now. Flip labels on or off just for the image you're about to save, without touching how your board looks — your board's own setting stays the boss.

Sharing in a hurry

Building a share link uploads your covers in parallel now, so a list with a lot of images goes out in a fraction of the time it used to.

Steadier saved images

Fixed a rare case where a saved PNG showed a tile's fallback mark instead of its picture. And the first time you finish a list, a quick nudge shows that you can drag the sidebar's edge to resize it.

This one's all about links — drop one in and Tiero builds the tile for you.

Tiles from a link

Paste a YouTube link and you get a video tile — thumbnail, play mark and all. Paste a Spotify album, an article, almost any web address, and Tiero pulls in the title, where it's from, and a preview image — album art lands as the cover. Do it right from the Add box on the bench — just paste.

Any tile can hold a link

Already have a tile? Open its details and attach a link to it, swap that link for another, or take it off. A tile quietly becomes a video, a link, or a plain tile depending on what's on it. If it already has a picture you love, attaching a link keeps your image instead of replacing it — and there's a one-tap way to open the original in a new tab.

Covers that behave

A tile whose picture can't load now falls back to its generated cover — the colored tile with its glyph — instead of a broken-image icon. And you can finally remove a tile's image, not just swap it.

A tidier details panel

Replace, Remove, and Reset now read the same wherever they appear, each with its own icon, and the panel holds steady as you click from one item to the next instead of nudging around.

AI Assist learned a second trick: tidy up a list you already have. Plus more room to write, and clearer messages when you hit a limit.

AI Assist now tidies what you already have

Got a messy list in your notes? Paste it in. Tiero recognizes a list when it sees one — it'll canonicalize names, add dates and categories where they're obvious, dedupe, and keep your order. Or do it the old way: type a topic, get a fresh list. Same textarea, no toggle.

Much longer inputs

The prompt cap moved from 500 to 6000 characters — comfortably enough for a 50-item list with notes. A live counter under the textarea shows how much room is left, and turns amber as you approach the cap.

Limits that explain themselves

If you hit the hourly cap, the new character allowance, or paste something too long, you'll see a specific message saying which limit and when it resets — no more generic "something went wrong".

Tidier version picker

The "What's new" header no longer fights the version chips for room — title stays on one line, the chip row lives below it on every screen size. The scrollbar is gone too; a soft fade at the edges shows you can keep scrolling for older versions.

A small polish round: a long-standing marquee annoyance, a tidier rail, and clearer feedback when AI Assist comes up empty.

Smoother marquee

Drag-select past the visible bench and the rail scrolls along with you — no more stopping at the bottom edge.

A tidier rail

The "AI assist" tab is gone. The sparkle button on the bench was already doing the same thing, only quicker.

Starting fresh keeps you on the bench

On desktop, hitting "New tier list" from Customize now drops you back onto the bench, ready to add items. (Mobile already did this.)

Better feedback when AI declines

When the generator returns nothing, you'll see a clearer note explaining what to try next — instead of a generic "something went wrong".

Generate items from a prompt

Type a topic — "Studio Ghibli films", "FromSoft games", "Taylor Swift albums" — and Tiero fills your bench with the items, ready to drag into tiers. You can edit, reorder, or remove anything afterward. Look for the sparkle button in the bench, or the AI assist tab on the desktop sidebar.

Cleaner reset on phones

Tapping "New tier list" from Customize used to leave the drawer hanging open behind the welcome screen. It now slides away so the welcome screen is the only thing in front of you.

Two threads this release: any tier list can now travel as a URL, and the changelog itself picked up some personality.

Shareable links

• Copy link. The share button now produces a public link to your tier list. Anyone you send it to opens it instantly in their browser — no sign-up, no install.
• Open as my own. Recipients can clone your tier list into their own editor with one tap. Same items, same image quality, room to remix.
• Rich previews. Links unfurl in Slack, Twitter, Telegram and the rest with a clean preview card built from the board itself.

Livelier changelog

• Release banners. Every entry now has a wide banner image — a quick visual cue for what each release is about, on both this page and the in-editor changelog.

A friendlier first-time setup. Same for new tier lists.

A smoother welcome

• Pick a theme and the editor behind the dialog repaints right away — you can see Studio, Paper, and Arcade before you commit.
• The "what are you ranking?" placeholder shows one quick example at a time (open-world games, 2024 albums, workplace sitcoms…), so it fits on a phone and reads as an example, not a checklist.
• The "what kind of images?" question got replaced with a plainer one: do you want help picking the best part of each image, or not? Say no and uploads land centered; say yes and you'll pick photos / illustrations / anime.
• Tap outside the dialog by accident? Nothing happens — you have to make a choice or press Skip to dismiss it.
• If you choose to get smart crops, a gentle reminder tells you where to change the image type later — and on the phone, that reminder pops up from the bottom, right next to the Customize tab.
• That same reminder no longer lands on top of the Bench / Customize / Share tabs — it sits clear above them so you can still see and tap each one.

Small batch of mobile polish — the gestures, the keyboard, the export. Desktop is unchanged.

Exports

• Exports with Cyrillic titles save properly. Saving twice in a row no longer freezes the browser.
• Item counts on the exported image read in your language, not just English.
• Tier letters keep the same weight on the exported image as in the editor.

Editing on the phone

• Scrolling through the inspector no longer gets hijacked by the focal-point picker. Vertical swipes pass through; only horizontal drags move the crop.
• Drag an item up past the bench handle and the bench tucks away so you can drop on any tier. Stay inside the bench and reorder works as before.
• Quick "Place in tier" and "Return to bench" buttons live next to the item's name — no more scrolling.
• Tapping the title no longer pops the system text menu over the field.
• Removing an item closes the inspector and surfaces a confirmation toast with an Undo button, so a mis-tap stays a quick fix.
• Toasts now sit cleanly below the header instead of on top of the title and undo/redo, and very long single-word filenames stop spilling out of the toast.
• The board now runs edge-to-edge on the phone — rounded corners only on desktop, where the board sits inside a padded canvas.

Welcome. Tiero is here — and this is what the first release does.

Make a list of anything

Drag stuff into rows. Label the rows however you like — S/A/B/C/D, Loved/Liked/Hated, or whatever fits. Reorder freely. Made a mistake? Undo it.

Bring your own images

Drop images in, paste from your clipboard, or pick from disk. Tiero finds a flattering crop on its own — you can nudge it later if it picked wrong. Photos, illustrations, anime portraits, album art — drop them all in.

Three looks

Pick a theme that matches the mood.

• Studio — dark, focused, stays out of your way.
• Paper — light, calm, reads like a magazine.
• Arcade — neon, loud, on purpose.

Switch any time. No reload.

On your phone, too

The full editor fits in your pocket. Tap items to inspect, slide tiers around, place in any rank. Same gestures as the desktop, no compromises.

Save and share

Export the board as a high-res image — looks the same on phone or laptop. Everything you make stays in your browser. No account, no upload, no waiting.
