Tallies

Support How can we help?

Tallies is intentionally small. Most questions can be answered in the FAQ below. If you don't find what you need, send a note.

i.Frequently asked

How do I add a tally?

From the home screen, tap any item row to open its tally canvas. Then swipe vertically in the bottom area marked "swipe to mark." Each swipe draws a single felt-marker stroke. Five strokes form a complete tally group.

How do I undo a mark?

On the tally canvas, tap the Undo button at the bottom. Or long-press any historical mark in the grid to delete that specific one.

How do I add a journal?

From the home screen, tap the book icon in the top-right to open Settings. Tap New Journal. Give it a name and create. Then add items inside it the same way.

Does Tallies sync across my devices?

Yes. If you're signed into iCloud on multiple Apple devices, Tallies syncs automatically using your private iCloud account. There's no separate account or login. Sync usually takes a few seconds.

How do I add the home-screen widget?

Long-press an empty area of your iPhone home screen, tap the + in the top-left, scroll or search for Tallies, and choose either the small Tally widget (one item) or the large Journal widget (a whole journal). After adding, tap the widget and select Edit Widget to choose which item or journal to display. Tapping the widget opens the app directly to that item.

Why don't the tallies on my widget update right away?

iOS controls how often widgets refresh — typically every 15 to 30 minutes for battery reasons. The widget always shows the latest data when iOS refreshes it. To force a refresh, tap the widget once (which opens the app) and the widget reloads.

Can I export my data?

Not in this version. Export to PDF or CSV is on the roadmap.

Will there be reminders or notifications?

No. Tallies is intentionally a quiet app. We don't believe a habit tracker should nag you.

Will there be streaks?

No. Streaks pull the experience toward gamification. Tallies is meant to feel like a notebook, not a game.
