Small App, Serious Tools

Preflight checks, flexible verification, batch renaming, and automatic reports. Tally handles the transfer workflow so you can focus on the shoot.

Drag, Drop, Done

Queue folders or files, pick a destination, go. Checksum verification with SHA256, MD5, XXHash64, or BLAKE3 confirms every byte landed.

Flexible Batch Renaming

Build naming patterns from tokens: project, camera, date, time, counter, original filename. Every clip lands with the right name.

Instant Previews

Spot-check clips and pull up resolution, frame rate, codec, bitrate, colour, and audio details without leaving the app.

Automatic Reporting

When the transfer finishes, Tally writes the report. Transfer logs, CSV manifests, and HTML reports. Ready to hand off, no extra admin.

A Clear, Reliable Workflow

Four steps. That's the whole workflow.

01

Queue

Drag in source folders or files, pick where they're going.

02

Rename

Set up token-based naming (project, camera, date, counter) and let Tally apply it across the batch.

03

Transfer

Hit go. Track throughput, ETA, active files, and failures from one live dashboard.

04

Deliver

Tally writes the transfer logs, CSV manifests, and HTML reports automatically. Hand off the drive and the paperwork together.

Your media, documented properly

Tally doesn’t just copy files. Every ingest gets a full record: verification results, transfer logs, CSV manifests, and a polished HTML report you can actually hand to someone.

Destination Awareness

Tally checks capacity before you start. Live indicators show how much space is left so you’re not caught out mid-transfer.

Clip Preview & Metadata

Spot-check clips and read off resolution, frame rate, codec, bitrate, colour, and audio info. All inside the app.

How does Tally compare to expensive alternatives?

Tally does the same bit-for-bit checksum verification as tools that cost hundreds more. It’s lighter, faster to launch, and yours to keep for a one-time price.

Is Tally compatible with macOS Tahoe?

Yes. Tally is a native macOS application requiring macOS 14.6 or later.

How are codec updates handled?

We push metadata and codec updates regularly. They’re free for the life of the major version.

Can Tally ingest to multiple destinations at once?

Yes. Set up multiple destinations and Tally will transfer, verify, and report on each one.
