A habit tracker without the pressure. Tallies is a tally app for the things you'd rather just count. A workout rep. A bird at the feeder. A row of knitting. A page read. A prayer bead. Anything you'd otherwise mark on the back of an envelope. Swipe across the page and a felt-marker stroke appears. Five swipes give you the familiar four-and-a-cross. The page fills like a notebook, and it stays quiet: no notifications unless you ask, no streaks to break, no goals you didn't set. WHAT PEOPLE COUNT • Workout reps and sets • Knitting rows and stitches • Prayer beads and rosaries • Pages read, books finished • Birds at the feeder • Days sober, days run, days anything • Cups of water, cups of tea A BOOK OF PAGES Each thing you track gets its own page in a book. Flick between pages. Turn to Totals to see today, this week, this month and all time, drawn on paper. WHERE IT GOES WITH YOU • A small widget: tap + to add a tally without opening the app. • A large widget: a whole journal at a glance. • Siri and Shortcuts: "Tally push-ups in Tallies." • Your counts sync across iPhone, iPad and Mac through your private iCloud. ON PAPER, DAY AND NIGHT Every mark is hand-drawn, with a little jitter, so no two are alike. The paper turns to a true paper-dark at night, and a keep-awake mode holds the page open for long counts. Built for everyone: VoiceOver, Voice Control, Switch Control, Larger Text (tap the counter to magnify), Reduced Motion, Sufficient Contrast and Differentiate Without Color. In English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese and Korean. FREE TO START, UNLOCK ONCE One journal with two items is free, for as long as you like. When you want more, unlock the full app once. It follows your Apple Account to your iPhone, iPad and Mac. No subscription, no ads, no sign-up. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Nothing leaves your iCloud. No sign-in, no analytics, no ads, no third-party SDKs. Tallies is part of the sthreelabs paperback family, alongside A Spell of Work, One Line in Time and A Deep Breath. Made quietly by sthreelabs.
