Tally brings your countdowns and daily tasks together in a calm, personal space. Look forward to the next big moment, or count the days since one worth remembering. YOUR MOMENTS, AT A GLANCE Create countdowns for trips, birthdays, launches, weddings, goals and everyday plans. Clear, compact cards show the most useful time units as each event approaches. Open a countdown for its full time breakdown and exact date. MAKE IT YOURS Choose from more than 200 icons, pick a gradient color theme or add a personal photo. Your countdowns keep their own identity within a neutral Day or Night interface. Follow your device appearance or choose the mode you prefer. DAYS SINCE Track time since a milestone, a move, a new habit or another meaningful date. Countdowns and days-since events live together in the same library. STAY ORGANIZED Sort by date, name or creation time, or touch and hold a countdown to arrange it manually. Swipe left to delete. Keep past events available without crowding upcoming plans. Duplicate an event when you want a similar countdown. REMINDERS ON YOUR TERMS Set a reminder for the event time, one day before, one week before or a custom number of days. Choose morning and evening reminders for daily tasks separately. Notification permission is requested when you enable reminders. DAILY TASKS Keep a focused task list beside your countdowns. Add optional deadlines, icons and colors, mark tasks complete, and carry unfinished tasks forward. Undo an accidental deletion. SHARE AND PLAN Share a text countdown summary through the iPhone share sheet. Add a countdown to Calendar using Apple's event editor, where you review and save it. Tally remembers confirmed Calendar exports to help avoid accidental duplicates. PRIVATE AND OFFLINE No account is required. Countdowns, tasks, preferences and selected photos stay on your device. Tally works offline and includes local recovery safeguards for saved records.
