What's New in Tally

1.3.0

October 24, 2026

Tally learned to share, and to take orders. - iCloud sync now works on the Mac. If your iPhone and MacBook weren’t seeing each other’s tasks, that’s fixed. The Mac was quietly keeping its list to itself whenever iCloud Drive was turned off. Open Tally on both and give them a minute to catch up. Thank you to everyone who wrote in about this one. - Siri and Shortcuts support. Say “Hey Siri, add a task to Tally” and tell it what to add. You can also check things off (“Complete buy milk in Tally”) or ask what today looks like, all without opening the app. Wire it into your automations and feel briefly unstoppable. Dark and tinted app icons. The icon now dresses to match your Home Screen instead of showing up in the same outfit every day. - A tip jar. Tally is free and made by one person. If it’s earned a place in your day, there’s now a small way to say so. No subscriptions, no nagging, just a heart in the menu. - Fixed a Mac bug where clicking a checkbox selected the row instead of checking it off. It now does the one thing a checkbox is for.

Love the app… but syncing not working.

As far as todo apps go… I’ve tried them all and this is the first one to work like my brain works. I can’t stress how much I love the simplicity of this app.

The only issue I have is that I can’t get the tasks to sync between my MacBook and my iPhone. (I’ve tried all the steps suggested in one of the iPhone reviews.) I can see that it’s saving to iCloud on the phone, but it doesn’t look like the MacBook is utilizing iCloud. If this gets fixed, it will truly be the exact todo app I need!

FAQ

What is Tally's approach to task management?

Tally focuses on a single daily list, automatically rolling over unfinished tasks to the next day with a tally mark. This approach aims to be honest and less pressure-inducing than traditional apps with overdue counts or streaks.

Does Tally have ads?

No, Tally is ad-free. The app is designed to be a distraction-free tool for managing your daily tasks.

How does Tally handle ideas that aren't tasks yet?

Tally includes a 'Thoughts' section where you can store half-ideas, maybes, and somedays without deadlines or guilt. These can be promoted to a daily task when ready.

How does Tally organize tasks?

Tasks can be organized accidentally by typing # followed by a keyword (e.g., #home, #work) directly within the task description. Tapping the tag will then filter tasks accordingly.
