CherryFill adds countdown timers and basic proctoring to your Tally.so forms, enabling you to create timed exams, quizzes, and assessments without migrating form data or rebuilding questions.
What is CherryFill?
CherryFill is a freemium web tool that extends Tally.so forms with customizable countdown timers, scheduling windows, and tab-switch monitoring. It takes your existing Tally forms as input and produces timed exam URLs for respondents; submissions are tracked in a dashboard with timing and proctoring logs. The platform is built by CherryFill (no parent company stated) and connects via your Tally API key.
Key Features
- Countdown Timer — Set durations from 1 to 480 minutes and choose among three display styles: top bar, floating pill, or minimal circle.
- Scheduling — Define start and end dates; respondents see a pre-exam countdown and cannot access the form after the window closes.
- Tab Switch Tracking — Monitor when respondents navigate away from the exam; a complete activity timeline is visible per submission.
- Respondent Identification — Collect name, email, and ID before the exam starts; optionally require an access code for restricted access.
- Seamless Tally Integration — Connect your Tally account via API key; CherryFill lists your forms automatically and links submissions with Response IDs.
- CSV Export — Export combined data (timing, proctoring logs, and Tally form responses) in a single CSV file for grading and analysis.
- Free Tier — Includes 3 active timers and 30 lifetime submissions; no credit card required to start.
Who is it for?
- Educators — Create timed quizzes and final exams, then track who finishes early or needs more time.
- Recruiters — Screen candidates with skills assessments and aptitude tests under controlled start times and proctoring.
- Trainers — Certify learners with access codes and scheduling windows for compliance training or knowledge checks.
What can you do with CherryFill?
- Run timed class quizzes — Set a 20-minute timer for a Tally form quiz; respondents see a countdown and late submissions are marked.
- Schedule certification exams — Define an availability window (e.g., 9 AM–5 PM) so candidates can only access the form during those hours.
- Monitor candidate focus — View tab-switch logs in the dashboard to identify suspicious behavior during remote assessments.
How does CherryFill work?
- Connect Tally — Provide your Tally.so API key; CherryFill syncs your forms automatically.
- Create a Timer — Select a form, set duration, scheduling, access codes, and proctoring options.
- Share the Link — Send the unique exam URL to respondents; they see the timer while filling out the form. Average setup time is under 5 minutes.

FAQ
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan offers 3 active timers and 30 lifetime submissions, enough to try the tool before upgrading.
Can respondents see the timer?
Yes. Respondents always see the countdown. You choose the display style: top bar, floating pill, or minimal circle.
What happens when time expires?
Respondents see a notification that time is up. They can still submit, but the submission is marked as “Late” in your dashboard.
Does CherryFill modify my Tally forms?
No. CherryFill never edits your forms. It embeds them with a timer while leaving the original form untouched.
What counts as a submission?
A submission is recorded when a respondent completes and submits the Tally form. Starting an exam without submitting does not count.
