Counting, with a memory
Last updated 9 September 2026
Tally Clicker does not collect your data. There is no account, no analytics SDK, no advertising and no tracking of any kind.
Everything you create stays on your iPhone or iPad. Counters, ticks, timestamps, notes, photos, badges and settings are written to this app's own private storage on the device. They are never uploaded to us or to anyone else, and we have no way of reading them.
| Data | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Counters — name, note, icon, colour, step size, unit, reset cycle, target, reminder | The core function of the app |
| Ticks — the date and time of each increment or decrement, the amount, and any note you typed | The tape and every chart |
| Photos you deliberately attach to a tick, resized and JPEG-compressed inside the app container | A visual record of what you counted |
| Unlocked badges and derived streaks | Progress display |
| Preferences — theme, appearance, haptics, sound, numeral size, reminder switches, default step | Remembering how you like the app |
| A cached copy of the day's quotation | Showing the daily card offline |
One thing, and only if you are online: the app requests a single short quotation of the day from zenquotes.io to display on the deck. That request contains no identifier, no counter data and no personal information — it is an anonymous read of a public endpoint. The response is cached locally and reused, so it works offline afterwards. If your device is in airplane mode the app skips the request entirely.
Nothing else is transmitted. If you use Export CSV or Share, you choose the destination through the standard iOS share sheet, and the file goes only where you send it.
| Permission | When it is requested | What it is used for |
|---|---|---|
| Camera | Only when you tap the camera button under the counter pad | Taking a photo to pin to a specific tick. The photo is saved inside the app and nowhere else. |
| Photo library | Only when you tap the library button | Choosing an existing picture to attach to a tick. The system picker runs outside the app, so Tally Clicker receives only the single image you select. |
| Notifications | During onboarding, or when you switch on a reminder | Local reminders you schedule yourself, and the optional evening streak nudge. Scheduled on-device; no push server is involved. |
All three are optional. Decline any of them and the rest of the app works normally.
Tally Clicker does not track you across apps or websites, does not build a profile, and does not use Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework, because it has nothing to ask for. Its App Privacy manifest declares NSPrivacyTracking = false with no tracking domains and no collected data types.
The app bundles no third-party SDKs, no analytics libraries and no advertising frameworks. The only external service contacted is the public quotation endpoint described above, which we do not operate and to which we send nothing about you.
Tally Clicker is a general-purpose counting utility. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13, because it does not collect personal information at all.
Because your data never leaves your device, we hold nothing to delete or to disclose. You can erase everything at any time from Settings → Your data → Erase everything, or by deleting the app, which removes its entire container including attached photos. Export a CSV first if you want to keep a copy.
Under the GDPR, the UK GDPR, the CCPA and similar laws you have rights of access, correction, deletion and portability over personal data a company holds about you. We hold none. Access and portability are provided directly in the app through CSV export; deletion is provided by the Erase everything button.
If this policy changes, the revised version will be published here and inside the app, with a new date at the top. Material changes will also be described in the release notes for the version that introduces them.
