Tally for Linux

Dashboard for Plausible Analytics

Overview

Tally is a Linux app that works as a dashboard for Plausible Analytics.

Plausible Analytics is a simple, open-source tool that helps you track website stats like visitors and other key metrics.

Tally combines this web app with a native Linux interface, making it easier to use on your desktop.

One of the main benefits of Tally is how well it fits into Linux systems.

It adds an icon to your App Grid, Applications Menu, Dock, and more, so you can open it like any other program.

The app also has a native header bar that lets you manage your account and log out easily.

When you close Tally, it saves your current view and window size to restore the same setup when you open it again.

You can navigate back and forth between pages using two-finger swipes or mouse buttons.

It also supports light and dark modes across different Linux desktops such as GNOME and elementary OS.

Zoom features are included too, with pinch-to-zoom gestures and keyboard shortcuts for scaling.

Tally uses a slimmed-down interface by removing the usual web app header and footer.

This keeps it simple and focused on showing analytics without outside links.

It also supports connecting to custom domains, including self-hosted Plausible setups.

Currently, Tally does not allow opening external links, but this feature is planned for future updates.

It depends on the Plausible web app to work, so it may not function fully offline or as a standalone program.

Overall, Tally is a secure and lightweight Linux tool for users who want to view Plausible Analytics data within a native desktop environment.
