Tallyrow
Read full descriptionHide full description
Tallyrow is a daily checklist for a 75-day challenge. Choose your rules, check them off, and place a stone for each day you finish. Start with 75 Soft, a 75-day reset, Winter Arc or a custom challenge. Templates fill in a starting point. You can change every rule. A ROW THAT FOLLOWS YOUR RULES Choose what happens when you miss a day. Strict restarts at Day 1; lenient allows one missed day and restarts after two in a row. Set a pause allowance before you begin. A paused day keeps your row and moves the finish date back by one day. CHECK OFF, OR COUNT UP Tap once for a yes-or-no rule. For water, pages or steps, set a goal and add to it with each tap. Pick the weekdays when a rule applies. Nothing is measured automatically. YOUR DAY DOESN'T HAVE TO END AT MIDNIGHT Choose a cutoff from midnight to 5 a.m. If you finished yesterday but forgot to record it, the next-day prompt lets you mark it complete. Add a short daily note and set a reminder for a time that suits you. SEE WHAT YOU'VE KEPT Your calendar shows finished, missed and paused days. Keep up to four optional photos a day, compare the first and latest days, and share a comparison when you want to. Photo lock uses your device's biometrics or passcode. NO ACCOUNT TO CREATE Challenge records and photos are stored on your phone, with no Tallyrow cloud sync. Export your records and original photos as a zip, even after paid access ends. Billing, usage analytics and advertising measurement use network services; they do not receive your rule text or photos. CHOOSE HOW TO PAY Days 1 to 3 of your first challenge are free: tap Try 3 days without a plan and confirm the $0 3-day Trial. From Day 4, checking off needs a plan below. The days you checked stay readable and can be exported. Annual: $39.99 a year, with a 7-day free trial for eligible subscribers. Lifetime: $59.99 once. No renewal. Both unlock the whole app. Prices above are in US dollars; the App Store shows your local price and trial eligibility before you confirm. Annual subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel in App Store subscriptions, also linked from Settings > Subscription > Plan. Restore purchase is available on the paywall and in Settings. Tallyrow does not count calories, set diets, track weight or read health data.
