5. Description — 4000 karakter (dönüşüm odaklı) Önerilen — App Store Connect → Description alanına yapıştır: Know your tipout before you untie that apron — and never lose track of a shift again. TipLife is built for servers, bartenders, baristas, bussers, and expos who need fast, honest math between rolling silverware and last call. Punch in your numbers, see your tipout, and walk out knowing exactly where every dollar went. WORK CALENDAR — see what you owe yourself Tap the days you worked. Pending shifts show in red. Log your tips and the day turns green automatically. No more “did I enter Tuesday?” panic at the end of the week. CALCULATE — fast like a Friday rush Enter AM and PM net sales, flip expo on or off, add tips due if your house runs that way, and watch manager, bar, host, support, and expo lines stack into one clean tipout total. No napkin math. WORKPLACES & ROLES — for the multi-job crew Bartender on Thursdays, server on weekends, manager at another spot? Save every workplace and role, each with its own hourly wage. TipLife remembers who you are on every shift. DOUBLE SHIFTS — brunch and dinner, done right Log AM and PM as independent shifts — different tips, hours, tip-outs, even different companies. The full day finally adds up correctly. RATES YOU OWN — your house, your rules Tune manager, bar, host, support, expo flat fees, and the tips-due multiplier to match your floor’s actual plan. Set it once, run it every shift. HISTORY & EXPORT — the receipts, literally Scroll any date range, review the day, share JSON or CSV for taxes, tracking, or spreadsheet backup. CHARTS — see the bigger picture Spot trends in net sales, tips earned, and tipout over the weeks you care about. PRIVACY BY DESIGN No accounts. No sign-in. Your entries, rates, roles, and money stay on your device. We don’t collect or transmit your shift data. Free forever — kept that way by a single friendly banner. Now go count your tips. You earned ’em.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TipLife at none against App Lock's 7. TipLife also leads on ads (none vs shown). App Lock's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
