Tally

Where your group keeps score.

A free, easy way for your group to keep score together, whether it's a sports pool, a golf match or anything else you argue about. It's just for the people you invite: everyone joins with their name, and there's no money, no ads and no strangers.

Web · iOS · 2026

Playing now on the web, in private groups you join with a link from someone already in. The iPhone app is on its way to the App Store.

Your name is the sign-up

Open the link from the group chat and type your name. No email, no password, nothing to install. Face ID is there if you want it.

Just your group

Every group is private. You're in with the link or code from someone already in it, so the board is people you know, not a public league full of strangers.

The whole family plays

One phone can play for the kids, a partner, or the friend who won't install anything. Each gets their own row on the board.

It keeps score for you

Results come in on their own and the board updates for everyone. Whoever runs the group stops being its unpaid bookkeeper.

Always something to play for

A winner every week and one for the season, so a slow start or a late join still leaves plenty to play for.

No money in it, on purpose

No ads, no tracking, no odds, no payments. Tally keeps your name, your picks and enough to sign you back in.

Why it exists

Every office pool used to be a sheet of paper on the break-room wall. Somebody drew the grid, somebody wrote the names down the side, and every Monday one person updated it in pen while everyone walked past to see where they stood. Somewhere along the way, pool apps turned into sportsbooks with a scoreboard glued to the front: an account form, then a deposit screen, then odds down the side.

Tally is the paper on the wall, done properly. It knows who won, it tells everyone, and it lets your daughter play. There's nothing to deposit and nothing to cash out, because the point was never the money. It was walking past the wall.

One group, all year

It started as a weekly football pool for one group of friends, and that's where it's sharpest today. The idea is bigger: one place your group keeps score all year, from a season-long sports pool to a Saturday golf match to the calls you make at dinner, with every result in the same record book. The iPhone app is on its way, and golf and more are next on the roadmap.
