Question 1

What is ME-DB?

Accepted Answer

ME-DB is a free web app for building tier lists of anime, movies, TV shows, and video games. Unlike a static tier list maker, your lists stay editable and double as a living collection you can filter, update, and share.

Question 2

What does ME-DB stand for?

Accepted Answer

ME-DB is short for Media Entertainment Database. It began as one person's database of every anime, show, movie and game they had watched or played, and the name stuck.

Question 3

Is ME-DB free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, ME-DB is completely free. Every feature is included, and there is no credit card and no paid tier.

Question 4

Do I need an account to make a tier list?

Accepted Answer

No, you can build a full tier list in the demo without signing up. Signing in with Google only saves your lists so you can come back to them.

Question 5

How do I make a tier list on ME-DB?

Accepted Answer

Add the titles you want to rank, then drag each one into a tier from S down to F. You can rename tiers, tag items, reorder them at any time, and share the finished list with a link.

Question 6

How is ME-DB different from TierMaker?

Accepted Answer

TierMaker makes a one-off tier list image out of pictures, while ME-DB is a living list you keep editing. Titles go in by name, your Collection and your To-Do list are tiered separately, you can tag and filter everything, and any list can still be shared as a link or an image.

Question 7

What can I rank and track on ME-DB?

Accepted Answer

Anime, movies, TV shows, and video games come built in, and you can create custom categories for anything else. Each item goes into either your Collection, for things you have already finished, or your To-Do list, for what is next, and both are tiered separately.

Question 8

Can I import my data?

Accepted Answer

Not currently, so items are added manually. Please reach out if importing would be useful to you.

Question 9

Can I export my data?

Accepted Answer

Not yet, but data export is on the roadmap. Your data is always accessible through the app in the meantime.

Question 10

Is there a mobile app?

Accepted Answer

ME-DB is a web app, so there is nothing to install. It works in any mobile browser, and you can add it to your home screen on iOS or Android for an app-like shortcut.

Question 11

Is my data private?

Accepted Answer

Your data is private by default. You can choose to make your profile and individual lists public if you want to share them.
