tally — habit journal · effective 5 august 2026
these terms are the agreement between you and Martin Elenjikkal ("we", "us"), the developer of tally. by downloading or using tally, you accept them. Apple is not a party to this agreement — see apple's part at the end.
we grant you a personal, non-transferable licence to use tally on any Apple-branded device you own or control, as permitted by the App Store's Usage Rules. that licence is for your own use of the app as it ships; you may not sell, rent, sublicense, or redistribute it, and you may not copy, decompile, reverse-engineer, or modify it except where the law says you may despite this clause. we keep all rights we haven't expressly granted here, including the name, look, and code of tally.
the habits, notes, and marks you keep in tally belong to you. we claim nothing over them, and — as the privacy policy sets out — we can't see them: there is no tally server and no tally account. keeping your own copy is your responsibility. optional iCloud sync mirrors your journal to your private iCloud so your devices agree; it is a convenience, not a backup service, and we can't restore data for you.
parts of tally are paid. plans and their prices are shown in the app and on the App Store, in your local currency, before you buy.
refunds are handled by Apple under the App Store's terms, not by us. if a paid feature is withdrawn during a period you've paid for, write to us.
a group lets a few people keep one habit side by side. it is optional, invite-only, and carries very little: a display name you choose, and which days you marked. what a group shares is described in the privacy policy.
there is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive behaviour in tally. when you type anything other people will see — a group name, a habit name, the name you go by — you agree not to use it for content that is unlawful, hateful, harassing, threatening, obscene, deceptive, or that infringes someone else's rights. you agree not to use groups to harass or impersonate anyone, and not to invite people who haven't agreed to be there.
an invite link works for anyone who has it, so share it only with people you mean to let in. you are responsible for what you write and for who you invite.
every member's row in a group carries a report and a block control. blocking takes effect straight away and hides that person from you — their row, their marks, and their name — in every group you share with them; it needs no connection, no one's permission, and it can be undone from the same place. reporting sends us what we need to act on it: which group, which member, and what you say is wrong. you can do both at once, and reporting offers the block by default.
we read every report and respond, usually within 24 hours. we may remove content, end a group, or stop someone using tally where these terms are broken. you can also reach us directly at martyelenjikkal@gmail.com.
you can leave a group at any time — your own marks stay in your journal — and if you created it you can end it for everyone. both controls are on the group's screen, beneath the members.
tally is a journal, not a clinician. nothing in it is medical, psychological, or professional advice, and it isn't a treatment for anything. decisions about your health are between you and someone qualified to help.
tally is provided as it is. beyond what the law requires, we make no promise that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or fit for a particular purpose. nothing in these terms excludes rights you have under consumer law — in Australia, the guarantees of the Australian Consumer Law apply and cannot be contracted out of. to the extent the law allows, our liability to you for anything arising out of tally is limited to what you paid for it in the twelve months before the claim, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including lost data.
you can stop using tally at any time by deleting it; that deletes the journal held on your device. we may end this licence if these terms are broken. the clauses about warranty, liability, and Apple's part survive.
this agreement is between you and us alone. Apple is not responsible for tally or its contents, and has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for it — support is ours, at the address below.
if tally fails to conform to any warranty that applies, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price. to the maximum extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation for tally. any other claim, loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty is ours to handle, not Apple's.
we, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claim you or a third party makes about tally — including product liability claims, any claim that tally fails to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection or similar law. we, not Apple, are responsible for investigating and defending any claim that tally infringes someone's intellectual property.
you confirm that you are not in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as terrorist-supporting, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. you also agree to comply with any third-party terms that apply when you use tally.
Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms, and on your acceptance of them Apple has the right — and is deemed to have accepted the right — to enforce them against you.
if these terms change, the new version will be posted here with a new effective date. continuing to use tally after that means accepting them.
these terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, and subject always to consumer rights that apply where you live.
