Takeoffs, straight off the plans
Open a PDF drawing set, count your symbols, measure your runs and areas, and mark it up as you go. mTally keeps a running tally and builds the legend for you — then exports the whole thing back to PDF. One app, on Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro.

Drop in a PDF drawing set. Every page loads at full resolution — no flattening, no re-export.
Tap to place counted symbols. Trace runs for linear footage, outline rooms for area. The tally updates live.
Get a marked-up PDF with an auto-generated legend and totals — ready to send to the office or the bid.
Place a custom symbol for every item type and let mTally keep the count. Filter, hide, and favorite item types as the sheet gets busy.
Set the scale once, then trace conduit runs, wall lengths, and room areas with real-world units.
Clouds, callouts, text, shapes, and freehand ink — the full markup set, right on the drawing.
Drop reusable stamps for repeat notes and approvals instead of redrawing the same markup on every sheet.
The legend builds itself from your item types and totals, and travels with the exported PDF.
Start a takeoff on the Mac, finish it on the iPad in the field, check a count on your iPhone. Your projects follow you across every device through iCloud.
Import your PKCS#12 certificate (.p12 or .pfx) and cryptographically sign the exported PDF — not a picture of a signature. The certificate chain is fetched automatically so Adobe trusts it.
Draw a box around one symbol and mTally finds every match across the sheet or the whole set — then places your item at all of them in a single action.
Coverage areas, auto-numbering labels, linked items and pack math, revision clouds and delta tables, CSV catalogs, named undo for everything.
