TallyReel is built to run on your computer. Your scripts, voice recordings, cloned voices and videos are stored there, and we never receive them. There are no accounts, no analytics and no tracking. A few features reach the internet on purpose, and they're all listed below.
What stays on your computer
- Your ideas, scripts, videos, library, settings and license details.
- Voice samples, consent recordings and cloned voices. They never leave your computer.
- Script writing, voices, captions, music and rendering, once the AI models are downloaded.
What is sent over the internet, and why
- Stock footage: short search words for each scene (for example "falcon diving") and your own Pexels API key are sent to Pexels to find and download clips.
- AI images and host portraits (only if you use them): the image description is sent to Pollinations to generate the picture, with your Pollinations key if you added one.
- Research: the topic of your video is looked up on Wikipedia so scripts get their facts right.
- Script writing before the local model is downloaded: your idea — or, if you paste your own script, that script text — is sent to Pollinations, a free online AI service, so it can plan the video. Once the local model is installed, or you connect your own AI service, this stops.
- Research: the topic of your video is looked up on Wikipedia so the script gets its facts right.
- Your own AI service (only if you add a key in Settings): your idea, the research notes and the script text are sent to the service you chose — Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, or any address you enter, including one on your own machine. Their privacy policy applies to what you send. Your key is stored on your computer and sent only to that service. Voices, recordings, footage and videos are never sent.
- License activation: your license key and your computer's name are sent to Lemon Squeezy to activate and check your license.
- Model downloads: AI models are downloaded from Hugging Face and GitHub. These requests include normal technical details such as your IP address.
- Update checks: once a day TallyReel asks our download page whether a newer version exists. That request carries the app version and your operating system, like any download does, and it tells us nothing about your videos. You can see the current state under Settings → Updates.
- Chimepost (only if you link an account and press send): the finished video file, its title, description and hashtags are uploaded to your Chimepost workspace, and the name of your computer is shown there so you can tell your linked apps apart.
Purchases
Payments are handled by Lemon Squeezy, our reseller and merchant of record. They process your payment details, billing address and email under their own privacy policy. We receive your name, email and order details so we can provide your license and support.
What we can see
We have no accounts, no analytics and no tracking, so we cannot see your ideas, scripts, voices or videos. Our download page keeps ordinary web server logs of update checks and downloads (IP address, app version, operating system), which is how we know roughly how many people are using TallyReel.
This website
This site uses no cookies, analytics or advertising trackers. Our hosting provider may keep standard server logs, such as IP addresses and pages requested, for security.
