Tallies is a quiet 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.
Open Tallies, 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 — no badges, no streaks, no targets, no scolding.
Free to start. One journal and two items per journal are free. Unlock the full app for a single $2.99 — no subscription, ever.
WHAT IT'S FOR
• 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
• Anything you'd otherwise tally on paper
WHAT IT ISN'T
• A habit tracker that scolds you
• A streak machine
• A productivity coach
• A behavior-engineering tool
There are no notifications by default. No "you broke your streak." No goals you didn't ask for. You count what you want, when you want, and the page remembers.
A BOOK OF PAGES
Each thing you track gets its own page in a book. Switch between pages with a flick. Flip to Totals for any item to see today, this week, this month, and all-time counts on a quiet chart on paper.

HOW UNLOCK WORKS
Tallies is free with one journal and two items per journal. To create more, unlock the full app for a single $2.99 — no subscription, no ads, no account.
Existing buyers from the paid-up-front days are automatically grandfathered. Everything you already created stays unlocked.
PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
Your counts sync across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac via your private iCloud. Nothing leaves your iCloud. No account, no sign-in, no analytics, no ads, no third-party SDKs.
Tallies is the first of the sthreelabs paperback family — alongside A Spell of Work (focus timer), One Line in Time (one-line journal), and A Deep Breath (breathing paired with public-domain literature).

Love how simple this tracker is. So satisfying to see the tallies rack up without opening ten different apps to track different things.
Developer Response
Thank you, KD. "No noise, just tracking" is the phrase I'd pin over my desk that's the whole brief, and you put it better than I did. Made quietly, Christopher / sthreelabs
A few quiet improvements beneath the surface. Thank you for keeping count.
