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.

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. Your projects follow you through iCloud.

Item types down the side, pages in the middle, plan on the right — counts update as you place.
Trace a run and read the length in real-world units against the sheet scale.
Outline a room or zone to get square footage without leaving the drawing.
Cloud a revision, add the callout, move on. Everything stays editable.
Reusable stamps for the notes you place on every job.
