Terms of Use

Updated October 11, 2026 · iPhone build 71

Using Tally

Tally helps you track attendance, replay your recorded day, join Friends groups and chat with accepted friends. Use it lawfully. Do not misuse accounts, interfere with the service or access other people’s information without permission.

Account and required sharing

This version requires Apple sign-in and acceptance of account-linked school-time precise-location, class-detail, class-window diagnostic and Tally app-activity sharing described in the Privacy Policy. These categories have no separate opt-out. An accepted sharing agreement is required; build 61 narrows the location scope. Older app versions may keep their previously disclosed behavior until updated. Sign out to stop account-linked collection. Guided setup and Friends group participation remain separate choices.

Attendance and replay

Tally is an attendance aid, not an official school record. Review your schedule and results. Location is proximity evidence, not proof of attendance. Replay movement between recordings is an estimate, not an exact route. iOS may interrupt recording. Your school’s rules still apply. This alpha may contain errors and features may change.

School-day attendance

Automatic attendance requires Always and Precise Location. Open Tally before your first class to establish background tracking. The service stays active across the school day and stops after its last departure buffer; only the collection windows described in the Privacy Policy retain or upload locations.

New classes use movement-based nearby time covering at least 51% of scheduled class duration. Earlier saved results retain their original calculation. Location is an estimate: quiet periods can count until a clear departure, and missing checks can prevent or affect verification. Tally does not guarantee uninterrupted tracking or official attendance credit.

Chats and shared content

Chats and searchable profiles are optional. Send only content you have the right to share. Do not harass people, send unlawful content or use the service to access someone else's private messages. You can remove or block a friend and report a received message in the app. Tally stores reports for authorized review; this does not guarantee an immediate response.

Class labels reflect a selected schedule entry and do not prove physical attendance. Photo and video Snap streaks are separate from attendance streaks. Delivery speed depends on your connection and service availability; an immediate local send indicator does not guarantee delivery.

Chat content follows the access, expiry and retention rules in the Privacy Policy. Either participant can save content. Recipients can export or capture copies outside Tally, and screenshots and recordings are not detected. Deleting, unsaving or blocking cannot recall those copies. Chats is protected by access controls and is not end-to-end encrypted.

Friends and leaving

Joining a group shares the class and group information described in the Privacy Policy. Credits have no cash value; this alpha has no purchases or prizes. You can stop using Tally at any time. Delete your account in Account settings to remove server data; personal attendance stays on the phone until you remove it.
