Desk companion

Keeps count.
Keeps you company.

TALLY is a small screen with a pair of eyes. It watches your Claude and OpenAI limits so you never run out halfway through a thought.

Order TALLY
At a glance

Readable from across the room.

Your five-hour session and your week in big plain numbers, with a countdown to the next reset. Between glances the eyes keep watch, and past 75% they start to worry.

See everything it does
Two providers

Claude and OpenAI. One screen.

Pick a provider on the menu and the whole screen follows it, eyes included: peach for Claude, mint for OpenAI. Per-model limits show too, when your plan has them.

How limits work
Meet the eyes

Twenty-nine moods. It notices before you do.

Close to a limit, it gets worried. Leave it alone and it rests. Tilt it and it looks; clap and it wakes up a little startled. At night it sleeps.

Inside

A real computer, the size of a matchbox.

TALLY runs on an ESP32-S3 board with a 1.8-inch AMOLED touch screen. It has its own motion sensor, microphone, speaker and clock, so it can look, listen and keep time on its own.

FAQ

Good questions.

All questions
Does my usage leave my computer?

No. TALLY Link on your Mac asks Anthropic and OpenAI for your own usage figures, using the sign-ins already on that Mac, and hands the numbers to TALLY over USB. There's no TALLY account or server in between, and your chats are never read.

Which plans does it work with?

Any Claude plan you use with Claude Code, and any ChatGPT plan you use with Codex. TALLY shows whatever limits those apps report, as percentages with their reset times.

What do I need?

A Mac, a USB-C data cable (not included), and Claude Code or Codex signed in on that Mac.

Does it need Wi-Fi?

No. Everything arrives over the cable, so it works on any network, or none.

Does it work on Windows?

macOS first. Windows is next.
