About this app

Some lists need a total. This is the fastest way to get one.

Tally is a list with a calculator built in. Type an item, type a price, and the running total updates instantly at the top of the screen. No jumping to a calculator app. No adding it up in your head. No spreadsheet.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Start a list
2. Add items with their prices
3. The total updates as you type
4. Save it, or discard it and start again

No account. No sign-up. Works offline.

THE TOTAL IS ALWAYS IN FRONT OF YOU
Your running total stays pinned at the top and recalculates the instant anything changes. Add an item, edit a price, delete a line, and the number is right there. You never have to ask what it comes to.

BUILT FOR SPEED
The number pad opens by default. Name and price sit on one row. Press enter and you are on the next item. A twenty-item list takes seconds. Most list apps make you tap through three screens per item. This one does not.

SAVE IT OR THROW IT AWAY
Not every list is worth keeping. When you are done, name it and save it, or discard it and start clean. Most apps assume every list is precious. This one lets you decide after you see the total.

QUANTITIES, DISCOUNTS AND A BUDGET
Add a quantity and it multiplies for you. Apply a discount to one line or the whole list. Set a budget limit and get a warning as your total approaches it.

YOUR CURRENCY, PROPERLY FORMATTED
Cedi, Naira, Shilling, Rand, Rupee, Dollar, Euro and more. Big amounts get clear thousand separators, so a long total is readable at a glance instead of a wall of digits.

SHARE OR EXPORT
Send any list to WhatsApp as a clean image or PDF. Good for splitting a cost, sending someone the total, giving a customer their itemised bill, or keeping a record of what you spent.

REUSE WHAT YOU LIST OFTEN
Save a list once and reopen it whenever you need it. Update the prices and you are done.

Stop reaching for the calculator. Download Tally and let the total keep itself.

What’s new

• Fixed: starting a new Quick Tally no longer reopens with the last one's name, unit and price still filled in.
• Quick Tally's reading list now animates in and out instead of snapping — smoother when you add, edit or remove a reading.
• Pro: deleting a single reading now asks you to confirm first, so a stray tap can't wipe one out.
