# iPip

> iPip is a free home for indie iPhone and iPad apps. Makers list and launch their apps here, people vote, and the most voted app wins the day. Nobody can buy a vote or a rank.

iPip is the sister site of MacPip (https://macpip.com), the Mac app directory. 12 apps are live today. On X it is [@ipiphq](https://x.com/ipiphq).

## Rules that matter
- Votes: one per app from each network, no account needed. The most voted app ranks first, ties go to the app sent in first, and results lock at midnight UTC.
- Up to 5 free launches a day. Featured launches (3 a day, on top) are pinned and labelled Featured. Paid placement never changes votes, rank or winners.
- Pips can't be bought, and no payment gives any. They never change votes, rank or winners.
- Apps are iPhone and iPad apps from the App Store. Maker words are never rewritten.
- Not affiliated with Apple.
- Contact: hello@ipip.fyi.
