Help & how-tos

Short videos and written steps for everything in Tallé.

Every topic below has a one-minute video and the same instructions written out, so you can read them instead of watching if that's easier. Nothing here leaves your device — these are just walkthroughs of the app you already have.

Getting Started

A two-minute tour of Tallé — what the main screens do and where to begin.

1. Open Tallé. There's no account to create and nothing to sign in to — the app is ready to use straight away.
2. Add your income first. Budgets are built from what you actually earn, so start there.
3. Set up a budget or two. Give your regular spending categories a monthly limit.
4. Record entries as you go. Tallé tracks each one against the right budget automatically.

2. Enter the amount and a short label — for example "Paycheque" or "Freelance".
3. Choose how often it arrives and set the date it lands.
4. Save. Your income now shows against your budget totals.

Add a Budget

Set a spending limit for a category and watch it through the month.

1. Open the Budgets screen and tap the add button.
2. Pick a category — groceries, transport, anything you want to keep an eye on.
3. Enter the amount you want to spend in that category each month.
4. Save. The budget bar fills as you record entries against it.

The thing you'll do most — logging what you just spent.

1. Tap the add button from the home screen.
2. Type the amount and choose the category it belongs to.
3. Add a note if you want to remember what it was for — this is optional.
4. Save. The entry is counted against that category's budget right away.

Export Data

Your records are yours — take a copy out of the app whenever you like.

1. Open Settings and go to Export.
2. Choose the date range you want to include.
3. Pick a format and tap export.

Set Preferences

Currency, appearance, and the other small settings that make Tallé yours.

1. Open Settings from the main menu.
2. Set your currency and date format so amounts display the way you expect.
3. Adjust appearance and reminders to suit how you use the app.
4. Changes save as you make them — there's no separate confirm step.

Using Smart Fill

Let Tallé pre-fill the details of entries you record often.

1. Start a new entry and begin typing a description.
2. Tap a suggestion when one appears — Smart Fill offers entries that match ones you've made before.
3. Check the details it filled in and adjust the amount if it's different this time.
4. Save. Suggestions are built only from your own entries, on your device.
