Our verdict

3/5 out of 5

Passed the cut

UI Principles gives Tally a restrained, neutral product look: near-white backgrounds, the system sans on the landing and Inter on the dashboard, two type sizes and one muted green used only for buttons, healthy bars and October in the chart. The hero is a plain budget card instead of a phone, and the dashboard is a clean grid of rules with black envelope bars and red only for Dining out. It is tidy, readable and works on a phone, but it is generic, with little that says Tally. Pick it to calm down a busy interface rather than to set a brand.

Compare with Editorial Designer (Atelier UI)

Pick it for

  • saas products
  • tidying an existing interface
  • calm dashboards

Skip it for

  • brands that need personality
  • landing pages that must stand out

Typography

Observations

  1. tidy but generic, with little brand character
  2. the landing uses the device's system font, so it looks different on each platform

Tally landing page made with Liquid Glass Design (ECC) Passed, score 4 out of 5

Liquid Glass Design (ECC)

Skill · Visual directionGitHub stars 283k

Liquid Glass Design builds Tally out of frosted glass panels floating over soft mint, peach and periwinkle light, set in Bricolage Grotesque and DM Sans. The dashboard keeps the glass in Manrope and stays readable. Pick it if you want a friendly, Apple-flavored product that looks nothing like the cream-and-serif default.

Tally landing page made with Popular Web Designs (Hermes Agent) Passed, score 4 out of 5

Popular Web Designs (Hermes Agent)

Skill · Visual directionGitHub stars 256k

Popular Web Designs gives Tally the Wise treatment: very heavy black Inter headlines, a lime highlight box around 'job.', pill buttons, big rounded cards and a black pricing band with a lime Plus plan. The dashboard follows through with a black 'left to budget' card in huge lime numerals, lime envelope bars and a lime October bar. It is far from the default and holds together on both pages and on a phone, though the tight headline leading lets lines collide and a sync chip covers the Groceries label in the hero. Pick it when you want a bright, confident consumer fintech look and are happy to start from a known brand's style.

Tally landing page made with Impeccable Passed, score 4 out of 5

Impeccable

Skill · Visual directionGitHub stars 82k

Impeccable drops the cream-and-serif default for a loud navy, orange and primary-color landing page set in heavy Archivo, then builds a calmer pine-and-lime dashboard. Pick it if you want a product page with real energy that still holds up on a dense screen.

Tally landing page made with Hallmark Passed, score 4 out of 5

Hallmark

Skill · Visual directionGitHub stars 30k

Hallmark turns Tally into a cheerful yellow-and-pastel brand in Plus Jakarta Sans with big ghost numerals, and the dashboard matches it. The most consistent result in the set, but it took about 12 minutes per brief.

Minimal (Awesome Design Skills)

Skill · Visual directionGitHub stars 3.3k

Minimal gives Tally lots of white space, a near-black and indigo palette on warm off-white, and big Inter headlines over Open Sans. The dashboard is mostly black and white, with indigo for the $640 and red for the over-budget envelope. It is calm and clean, but the mobile dashboard scrolls sideways. Pick it for products that want quiet, simple pages.

Design Taste Frontend v2, experimental (Taste Skill)

Skill · Visual directionGitHub stars 99k

The old v2 taste skill swaps the serif for Geist on a pale grey-green canvas, with a deep green accent and an interactive budget slider in the hero. Both pages are clean and competent, with only slight distance from the baseline. Pick it if you like Taste Skill's style and want the older single-file version.

Taste Design (Stitch Skills)

Skill · Design systemGitHub stars 8.5k

Stitch's taste skill swaps the cream-and-serif default for Geist on a near-white canvas, with a deep green accent and small icon chips set right into the headline. The dashboard is calm and consistent with the landing. Pick it if you want clean, current SaaS polish and don't need a strong personality.

Clean Minimal Beige Light Mode (Meng To)

Skill · Visual directionGitHub stars 6.8k

Clean Minimal Beige Light Mode keeps Tally soft and quiet: warm beige shells, Geist on the landing and Inter Tight on the dashboard, a muted sage accent and one dark panel for emphasis. It is closer to the default than most, but the sans type and calm grid set it apart. Pick it for understated products that want to feel calm.
