Tallowe

Your publisher's royalty statement says one number. Your own count says another. The gap between them is where underpayment hides - and royalty audits routinely find 10 to 30 percent of royalties underreported. Tallowe is a private, on-device ledger for contracted U.S. book authors and game developers who want to track that gap. You record what you expected and what the publisher reported, period after period, and Tallowe builds the variance record you would need to exercise your contract's audit clause. Every figure is yours. You estimate your expected sales and royalties; you copy the reported numbers from your paper statement. Tallowe connects to no publisher, platform, or outside data source - it makes no network request and runs no automatic import. It is a manual record-keeping and reference tool: it determines no underpayment, predicts no audit outcome, and performs no audit. WHAT YOU TRACK - Royalty deals: publisher, work, work type (book or game), royalty rate or tier, and the contract's audit clause. - Period statements: expected units and royalty vs reported units and royalty, plus any reserve or return holdback - with the gap shown on each statement. - Variance entries: categorize each difference - underreporting, rate error, reserve, return holdback. - Royalty audit-clause reference: general conventions for audit clauses, materiality thresholds, and lookback periods (reference, not advice). FREE - Your first royalty deals and up to ten period statements. - The expected-minus-reported gap shown on every statement. - The royalty audit-clause reference. - App Lock with Face ID or Touch ID. WITH PRO - Royalty Variance Audit: a categorized, multi-year variance ledger - underreporting, rate errors, reserve and return holdbacks - accumulated period over period from the figures you enter. - Audit Evidence PDF: an evidence pack - variance ledger, period timeline, and your statement photos - ready for a royalty auditor or attorney. - Audit Clause Tracker: each contract's audit-clause deadline, materiality threshold, and lookback period, with reminders. - Unlimited royalty deals and period statements. - Statement photos: attach photos of paper statements and contract clause pages to each period. - Audit-deadline widget for your Home and Lock Screen.
