Tallix

Tallix Support

For Tallix on iPhone. If your question is not here, the Contact Support button in the app reaches me directly.

Logging

How do I log food?

Tap Add food. The sheet has four tabs:

How do I save a food so I do not retype it?

On the Quick tab, fill in the numbers and tap Log and save to library instead of Log. It is logged today and kept in your library, so it is two taps every time after.

How do I log half a portion, or 1.4 of something?

Tap the ×1 chip on any entry. Half, double, or a custom amount. If your scale says 1.4, Tallix lets you say 1.4.

How do I remove something I logged?

Tap the minus button on the right of the entry.

Macros

Which macros can I track?

Calories are always on. Protein, fat, carbs, fiber, sodium, sugar and caffeine are each yours to switch on or off. Open the sliders icon on the Today card to choose. Macros you turn off are hidden everywhere, and Tallix stops asking for them.

I only see two macro fields when I add food.

That is the ones you have switched on. Tap Show all macros on the Quick tab to see every field, or turn more on from the Today card so they show by default.

What if I do not know one of the numbers?

Leave it blank. Blank means unknown, never zero, so a missing number will not quietly drag your totals down.

The food database

What is in Look up?

13,294 foods from USDA FoodData Central, including restaurant items, bundled inside the app. It is strong on restaurants and whole foods and weaker on packaged brands. Results show the portion basis they are calculated from, so you can see what the number actually refers to.

The food I want is not in there.

Packaged foods often are not. Use Quick add once, save it to your library, and it is two taps after that. There is no crowd-sourced database in Tallix, so nothing is added by other users.

Is there a barcode scanner?

No, and that is a choice rather than something missing. A barcode gets you to an entry somebody else typed in. If the label is already in your hand, typing the number once is the shorter path, and it is the same number every time after.

History and weight

How do I see previous days?

Open the sliders icon on the Today card and choose History. Ranges are 7d, 30d, 90d and All, with a per-day chart for calories and for each macro you track. The dashed line is your average across completed days; today is left out until it is over.

Does it track weight?

Yes, with a trend chart, in pounds or kilograms. One reading per day; saving again replaces that day's reading.

Will travelling move food onto the wrong day?

No. History keeps every day in your own local time.

Your data

Where is my data stored?

On your device, and it syncs to your own iCloud so reinstalling does not lose it. There is no Tallix account and no Tallix server for it to sit on.

Does Tallix work offline?

Yes, with no network at all. That includes Look up, because the food database ships inside the app rather than being fetched. There is nothing to wait for when you open it.

My data is not showing on my other device.

Check that both devices are signed into the same Apple ID and that iCloud Drive is on for Tallix in the Settings app. Sync needs a network on at least one of them to catch up.

Purchases

What does Tallix cost?

One payment of $19.99, with a 7-day free trial. There is no subscription and no recurring charge.

How do I restore a purchase?

Open the purchase screen and tap Restore purchase. Make sure you are signed into the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

How do I redeem an offer code?

Open the purchase screen and tap Redeem code. Enter the code and tap Redeem.

My trial ended. Is my data still there?

Yes. Your log, library, meals, history and weight are all still on your device and unaffected by trial status. Unlocking the app restores full access to everything.

Use the Contact Support button inside the app, on the purchase screen, and I will get back to you.
