Support — Tala
For any question, problem or suggestion write to tala@ellaflow.ch. We usually reply within a few working days. This is a small independent project, not a staffed help desk: one person answers.
Getting started
On the home screen choose a mode under New practice, or open a saved practice.
- Timer — set duration, repetitions and a unit, such as positions or breaths. One repetition gives you a single session; with more repetitions you can add a rest between them.
- Stopwatch — measure elapsed time without setting an end time. You can pause, mark laps and finish when you choose.
- Sequence — combine exercises, each with its own settings. You can add rests between exercises and between repetitions within an exercise.
Frequently asked questions
How do I save several personal practices?
For a configuration opened from the home screen, give it a name and tap Save practice. If you reopen a personal practice, Save changes updates that practice, even if you change its name. After a successful save you return to the home screen, where your personal practices remain available. To create a separate copy of a personal practice, tap the copy icon at the top and confirm with Create a copy in the panel. For a new configuration choose a mode under New practice.
How do I set rests?
In Timer, set a rest between repetitions. It applies when there are at least two timed repetitions, with no rest after the last. In a Sequence you can also set a rest between one exercise and the next, as well as a rest between repetitions within an exercise. Check the time summary before starting your practice.
Can I change or import sounds?
Yes. In Sounds choose start, transition and end cues. The choices show Suggested for this moment; All sounds opens the full catalog. You can also choose a sound from the Cadence guide, Breathing pattern and rest settings. Rhythm and breathing share the guide settings; the Transition sound applies to all changes in the practice, including the start and end of rests. Background sound is separate: you can import an audio file, and Tala creates a local copy inside the app without changing the original. Save the practice to keep your selection.
I cannot hear a sound: which volumes should I check?
There are three independent volumes: bells on the Sounds screen, rhythm cue in the rhythm guide, and background in the background settings. Also check the phone's media volume, the selected sound and the audio output: sound may be going to headphones or a Bluetooth device.
How should I prepare for a practice with the screen locked?
Before a long session, run a short trial with the phone and audio output you plan to use: start, lock the screen, and check the transitions and final cue. Vibration and visual signals work while you use the app with the screen on; do not rely on them as your only cue if you plan to lock the phone. If sounds do not arrive, check the volumes and tell support what happened and which settings you used.
Where can I find my completed sessions?
The Journal shows recorded session results, including times and, where applicable to the mode, repetitions, rests or laps.
Where are practices, journal entries and imported audio kept?
Personal practices, journal entries, settings and copies of imported audio are stored locally inside the app. Diagnostics are initially on: you can turn them off or clear the log. Turning them off does not delete what has already been recorded. The log is shared only if you voluntarily choose to send it, for example when asking for support. For details about data, copies and sharing, see the privacy policy.
How do I report a problem?
Write to tala@ellaflow.ch with your phone, OS version, Tala version, the steps you took and the result you observed. If useful, you can voluntarily share diagnostics or a screen recording, first checking that they contain no information you do not want to send.
