Built by a Fast CAT competitor, for the sport.

Hi, I'm Nic. I live in Delaware, work as a cyber security engineer, and compete in Fast CAT trials around the mid-Atlantic with my Italian Greyhound, Louie. TallyCAT is the app I built for myself, and everyone else is welcome to use it.

Louie was a natural the first time he saw the lure. At his very first event, he hit a time that put us on the path to BCAT in just five runs. When we walked over to grab his run slip, his obedience trainer happened to be at the trial too. She didn't believe it was his ribbon at first — the time was so fast, and he'd picked up so many points on his very first run. That's the moment I was hooked on the sport.

At that same first event, someone told me about the app most people were using to track their runs. I downloaded it that night, sat down to log Louie's runs, and ran straight into a paywall on what felt like the basics. I'm an engineer; I figured I could build something better and keep the basics free.

That's what TallyCATis. It's the app I wanted to use, and it's the app I actually use at every event. The free tier covers everything I need for one dog: unlimited runs, AKC top-20 leaderboard browsing, the event finder, points and title tracking, all of it — no signup, no trial, no expiration. Pro is the upgrade for tracking multiple dogs or unlocking deeper analytics. Your data lives in your iCloud, never on my servers.

I built it solo. No team behind it, no investors, no growth department. If no one else ever downloads TallyCAT, I'm fine with that — I built it because I wanted a clean, easy-to-use Fast CAT tracker, and now I have one. That said, I'd love for others to try it, and I'd genuinely love to hear what could be better.

If you try TallyCATand something is missing, broken, or could be sharper, tell me. The fastest path is in-app feedback (Settings → Send Feedback) — diagnostics are attached automatically so I can actually debug what you're seeing. Otherwise, use the feedback form. I read every submission.

And if you see a guy at a mid-Atlantic Fast CAT trial getting tugged toward the start line by a small brown blur named Louie — say hi.
