Tally answers one question: where did my day actually go? Your day is a 24-hour dial of 15-minute blocks. Tap the center, pick a category from the radial fan, and Tally keeps logging that task until you switch to the next one. No timers to remember to stop — you tap when your attention moves, and the dial fills in behind you. DESIGNED FOR CAPTURE, NOT CEREMONY • Running capture: one tap starts a task; it keeps filling blocks until you switch or end your day • Radial fan: your six most-used categories, one tap from the center of the dial • Mosaic editor: back-fill or fix any block of the day with taps or drags • Automatic driving detection: time on the road logs itself (with your permission, on-device) A REAL WATCH APP • Start, switch, and stop tasks from your wrist — full parity with the phone • A complication shows what's running right now • End your day or resume it from either device; both always agree SEE WHERE THE TIME WENT • Day summary: tracked hours and your work/personal split at a glance • Reports: donut and breakdown by category, by week and month • Export a clean PDF of any period PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your data stays on your devices. No account, no sign-up, no servers, no analytics, no tracking. Motion data for driving detection never leaves your phone. Tally is for anyone who has reached the end of a day and wondered what happened to it: freelancers accounting for hours, people balancing work and family, or anyone trying to be honest with themselves about where the time goes.
