v1.2.2

Two small corrections to 1.2.

• The tray icon is back. 1.2.1 fixed the packaging list that left the icons out; without it the tray entry was invisible while closing the window hid the app.
• The sidebar names the app Tally last counted. It read its name from the current run, so opening Tally at the start of a session said Last counted · nothing yet beside a day that already held hours. It now takes the most recently counted app from today's totals, and says Tally in front only when the day really is empty.

Everything else is 1.2.0: the four rebuilt screens, the fixed hour chart, and the media ceiling in Settings.

Download Tally-Setup-1.2.2.exe and run it. Per-user install, no administrator prompt. The build is unsigned, so Windows may warn that the publisher is unknown. Installing over an earlier 1.2 or 1.1 keeps your recorded days.

Requires Windows 10 or later, x64.

v1.2.1

The installer shipped without its icons.

Tally reads its tray and window icons from build/, and the packaging file list never included that folder. The window quietly fell back to the executable's own icon, but the tray does not fall back — it was created with an empty image, so the tray entry was invisible. Closing the window hides Tally rather than quitting it, which left no obvious way to bring it back or to reach Pause and Quit.

This release adds the icons to the package. Everything else is 1.2.0: the four rebuilt screens, the fixed hour chart, and the media ceiling in Settings.

Download Tally-Setup-1.2.1.exe and run it. Per-user install, no administrator prompt. The build is unsigned, so Windows may warn that the publisher is unknown. Installing over 1.2.0 or 1.1 keeps your recorded days.

Requires Windows 10 or later, x64.

v1.2.0

The pages were rebuilt around one figure each, and the chart stopped guessing.

Version 1.1 made the numbers honest. This release makes them readable: every screen now carries a single dominant figure, hairline rules instead of boxes, and colour only where it carries meaning — the hours you were actually at the desk.

• Today is a single sheet: the day's total at 76px, the browser share in a line beneath it, a fixed midnight-to-midnight hour chart, and two equal lists — apps on the left, sites on the right. The current hour is pale and the rest of the day is a shaded band, so an unfinished chart never looks like a finished one.
• Apps is a ledger for a week: the recorded total on the left, a share strip under it, and a ranked table on the right. Click a row to see the last window title Tally saw in that app.
• Websites sets each site's name over a bar as long as its share of browser time, with the browser that carried it named alongside. Time in a browser that no site claimed gets its own dashed row rather than quietly moving somewhere else, and a by-browser strip closes the page.
• Settings is an index rail against an instrument readout: what is happening now and why, then recording, sites, data and about.
• Remainders stay on the page. Lists show the largest rows and fold the rest into Other apps or Other sites with a real total, so nothing disappears without saying so.
• The media ceiling is now a setting. 30 minutes, 1, 2 or 4 hours, or Never. The default stays at two hours.
• Tally says why it is or is not counting — recording, media, idle, the media limit, paused, another copy of Tally in front — in one sentence in the sidebar, instead of only a dot.

Brand marks are drawn in a single ink rather than borrowed vendor colour, so the page stays grey and the chart stays blue. Apps and Websites open on 7 days; Today is always today.
