Miscellaneous > Tallyfy on mobile devices
Tallyfy functions on all devices through responsive web design that automatically adapts to different screen sizes without requiring separate app installations or downloads.
Install the Tallyfy desktop app
The Tallyfy desktop app provides a native experience on macOS, Windows, and Linux. It wraps the same Tallyfy web application you already use - so all features work exactly the same - but adds desktop-specific benefits like native notifications and system tray integration.
The desktop app offers several advantages over using Tallyfy in a browser:
- Native notifications - Get task reminders even when your browser is closed
- System tray - Quick access to Tallyfy from your menubar or taskbar
- Seamless login - The app can import your existing Google or Microsoft login from Chrome, so you may already be logged in
- Auto-updates - The app automatically updates when new versions are available
- Dedicated window - Keep Tallyfy separate from your browser tabs
Visit the Tallyfy Desktop releases page ↗ to download the latest version for your platform.
- Download the
.dmgfile for your Mac (Intel or Apple Silicon) - Open the DMG file and drag the Tallyfy icon to your Applications folder
- On first launch, you may need to right-click the app and select Open to bypass Gatekeeper (since the app is not yet notarized)
- If you see a “damaged” error, open Terminal and run:
xattr -cr /Applications/Tallyfy.app
- Download the
.exeinstaller - Run the installer and follow the prompts
- On first launch, Windows SmartScreen may show a warning - click More info then Run anyway
- The app will appear in your Start menu
- Download the
.AppImagefile (or.debfor Debian/Ubuntu) - For AppImage: Make it executable with
chmod +x Tallyfy-*.AppImageand run it - For DEB: Install with
sudo dpkg -i Tallyfy-*.deb
| Platform | Minimum Version |
|---|---|
| macOS | 12.0 (Monterey) or later |
| Windows | Windows 10 or later |
| Linux | Ubuntu 22.04 or equivalent |
When you launch the Tallyfy desktop app for the first time, it automatically tries to import your existing login from Chrome. If you’re already signed into Google or Microsoft in Chrome, you may be logged into Tallyfy automatically.
If automatic login doesn’t work:
- Click any sign-in option (Google, Microsoft, email)
- Complete the authentication flow - it opens in your system browser
- Return to the desktop app after signing in
macOS shows “app is damaged” error
This happens because the app isn’t notarized yet. Fix it by running:
xattr -cr /Applications/Tallyfy.appWindows SmartScreen warning
Click More info then Run anyway. This warning appears because the app doesn’t have an extended validation certificate yet.
Not logged in automatically
The Chrome cookie import requires access to Chrome’s Safe Storage. On macOS, you may be prompted to allow Keychain access - click Allow to enable automatic login.
App won’t start
Ensure you have the correct version for your system architecture (Intel vs Apple Silicon on Mac, 64-bit vs 32-bit on Windows).
Tutorials > Create an organization
Tallyfy workflow management requires users to create an account by signing up at their website using personal details or existing Microsoft/Google accounts then setting up an organization workspace with potential IT administrator approval needed for Microsoft sign-ins and centralized login management allowing easy switching between multiple organizations.
Miscellaneous > Login and session errors
Private browsing mode resolves Tallyfy connection issues with external apps by providing a clean session without stored cookies cached data or saved credentials that can cause login conflicts and authorization problems.
Tallyfy provides an integrated user guide accessible through the Help button in the left sidebar or the Help and FAQs option in your profile menu for instant workflow support without interrupting your work.
