Tally turns your training log into a plan you can actually follow. Tell Tally your goal, experience level, schedule, and available equipment. It builds a personalized four-week training plan — exercise selection, sets, reps, target effort, and week-by-week progression — and adapts as you train. Plan generation is free. LOG EVERY SET IN SECONDS Record weight, reps, duration, and RPE. Flag warm-up sets so they never distort your working volume, and add a note when a set deserves context. A PLAN BUILT AROUND YOU Your plan respects your training days, your equipment, and the movements you would rather avoid. Pick a primary goal, set your experience level, and Tally structures the four weeks for you. WORKOUT REVIEWS YOU CAN TRUST After a session, Tally shows what genuinely changed: personal bests, plan completion, how each lift compares with the same exercise last time, and where fatigue showed up. Every number is calculated on your device from your own sets. When you enable AI, it only selects and orders those verified facts — it never writes its own figures or invents progress. 393 EXERCISES WITH GUIDED INSTRUCTIONS Browse the built-in library and get step-by-step guidance on setup, execution, and the muscles involved for every exercise, with illustrated movement guides throughout. SEE PROGRESS, NOT JUST NUMBERS Follow your training rhythm, total volume, and most-trained exercises across weeks, months, and years. Every exercise tracks your best weight, estimated one-rep max, best volume, best reps, and best time, alongside a personal-record list. SET GOALS THAT UPDATE THEMSELVES Track weekly workouts or volume, a target weight or estimated one-rep max, target reps, or target time, with progress gauges and milestones. APPLE WATCH AND APPLE HEALTH Start and finish workouts from your wrist, with live heart rate and active energy streaming to your phone. Completed sessions save to Apple Health. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your workout history and training plan stay on your device and in your private iCloud database. AI plan generation runs only after you authorize it on the device, and you can revoke that at any time. There is no developer-operated account, no advertising, and no third-party tracking. TALLY PRO Tally Pro unlocks smart workout reviews, including estimated training coverage and follow-up points for your next session. Manual logging, AI plan generation, and iCloud sync stay free. ALSO INCLUDED • 10 languages • Face ID, Touch ID, or passcode app lock • Full JSON backup with export and restore • Built for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://tally-voice-api.lznwpu.workers.dev/privacy

Jot down a line. In a few days, it comes back to ask how it turned out. Ask your records · Type a question in Search, like "How often do I write about Mom?" A few sentences answer it, each linked to the notes it came from. Or ask Siri. · It only counts and quotes your own words, and never guesses why. All on your device, nothing sent to the cloud. The moment you note it · A related line you wrote before appears under your new note; tap it to open that note. · Always your own words, found on your device, never made up by AI. A few days later · Hunches, ideas, plans, hard moments and things you notice get a look-back day. · Answer with one tap on Today, the Look back widget or Apple Watch. Reminders are opt-in and hide your words by default. Hunch ledger and Insights · After five answered look-backs, Insights › Hunches counts how many turned out the same, different, or not sure yet. It just counts. · Your words: pick from over a hundred feeling words and see the ones you used this month. · This week's letter every Sunday, and a look-back book for each quarter or year, in your own words only. Day one · No account needed. Start with three quick questions; tap an answer and that's your first note. · Bring over exports from Day One, Daylio, flomo and 1Diary, or text written by date, keeping their original dates. Note it · Tap the mic and talk, or write a line. The language you speak can differ from the app's, Cantonese included. · Add up to four photos. Note from your Home Screen, Lock Screen, Siri or Apple Watch; find notes in system search. Practice and pause · Ten practices, one question at a time, plus bedtime and Record a dream. · When feelings run high, tap the lamp to Pause, or hold it for Rescue. Share cards · Turn a note, this week's letter, your hunch ledger or your words into an image, without your own words by default. On-device depth (one-time purchase) · Save look-back books as a PDF and compare a season across years, on your device. Buy once, keep it. Notes, echoes, look-backs and the basic hunch ledger need no purchase. Offscript Plus (optional subscription) · Deep insights in the cloud: how your themes change, a long letter each month, and looks back over six months or a year. Also includes on-device depth. · Deep insights are off until you turn them on and agree. Only summaries are sent, through our server to a cloud model. Names are swapped for placeholders on your device first, and a title that might hold a name is replaced by its type, situation and mood. Your own words, recordings and photos are never sent. · Everything else in Offscript works without a subscription. · Plus renews automatically each month or year until you cancel. The price and billing period are shown before you buy. Manage or cancel any time in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions. · Offscript Plus isn't offered in every country or region. Your records · Without an account, notes stay on this device and go if you delete the app. Sign in to sync your iPhone and iPad, encrypted on your device so we can't read it. Recordings and photos stay on your device. · Write the moods you note to the Health app. Offscript only writes and never reads your health data. · No third-party analytics or advertising tools, and your data is never sold. A weekly anonymous count of a few numbers is sent only with your OK. · Export, clear or delete everything in the app. In English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French and Spanish. Please note Offscript is a tool for notes and practice. It isn't a medical service and doesn't replace professional help or treatment. Echoes, look-backs, the hunch ledger and deep insights only put what you wrote side by side. They aren't a diagnosis or a prediction. If you're having thoughts of hurting yourself, reach out now to someone near you or call a local crisis line.
