Under the Hood
The architecture powering Lumist Tally's compilation engine.
Zero-Sync Data Bridging
Tally queries your local Lumist Flow database in real-time. This eliminates redundant state managers or server-side databases. Your timesheet calculations auto-update whenever a task changes status or registers new stopwatch intervals.
Native Print Optimization
By bypassing heavy canvas or node-based PDF generators, Tally maintains a microscopic bundle footprint. It implements strict CSS `@media print` directives to cleanly strip away dashboard wrappers, rendering high-contrast timesheets directly to the browser's PDF engine.
Spoof-Resistant Timezones
Many privacy-hardening browsers spoof your system clock to UTC. Tally reads your custom, manual timezone overrides directly from the workspace context, guaranteeing your timesheet boundaries accurately match your physical working hours.
Stateless Text Compiling
When you click the copy icon, Tally dynamically compiles and formats your active timesheet into a clean, plain-text markdown payload. It is held entirely in system memory, ready to be pasted directly into Stripe line item fields without saving trash records to your storage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why use Tally if I already send invoices directly from Stripe?
Stripe is excellent at invoicing, but terrible at detailed hour justification. Clients frequently reject flat "hourly labor" lines without itemized timesheets. Tally generates the clean, daily task logs that Stripe cannot, allowing you to attach a PDF or paste a copy-paste description justifying your bills.
How do I mark hours as "billed"?
Because we avoid turning Tally into a heavy, tracking database, we manage your billing states strictly using date filters. Select **This Month**, **This Week**, or set a **Custom Date Range** matching your billing cycle (e.g. May 1 to May 15). The platform isolates those exact logs without requiring a complex "reconciled" database status.
What if I need to edit a specific task's tracked time?
Tally is a compiler, not an editor. To make adjustments to your tasks, descriptions, or running times, click back to your **Flow Kanban Board**. Open the edit card modal, adjust the time log blocks directly, and the corrections will immediately reflect inside Tally.
