## What is Tally Rule?

Not another streak tracker.

Tally Rule treats your habits like a budget — set a quota, tap to tally, and see your balance. No guilt. No broken streaks. Just the numbers that help you choose.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Create a tracker (e.g., "Online Shopping — 4x/month")
2. Tap +1 each time you do it
3. Watch your remaining balance

It's that simple. The number tells the truth. You decide what to do with it.

- One-tap tally with real-time balance
- Ring progress for intuitive visualization
- Categories — Finance, Health, Learning, Lifestyle & more
- Historical charts & calendar heatmap to review past cycles
- Over-budget alerts (no judgment, just a heads-up)
- Home screen widgets — always see your balance
- Interactive widget — tap +1 right from your home screen
- Live Activity & Dynamic Island — track on your lock screen
- Apple Watch app — tally from your wrist
- iCloud sync — seamless across all your devices
