The fastest, and easiest way to track your tips daily as required by tax authorities. Did you know tax authorities (like the IRS and CRA) require servers to keep a daily written log of their cash and credit card tips? Photos of receipts are not required and slow you down. They also clutter your phone and are impossible to add up at the end of the year. Daily Tip Tracker is the modern replacement for the paper journal. It is designed for one thing: speed. Finish your shift, enter your numbers, and go home.

TipStash is a private tip tracker and shift income calculator for servers, bartenders, baristas, and anyone who earns tips. Log cash and card tips, paid hours, wages, tip-ins, tip-outs, other income, and work expenses. TipStash turns every saved shift into a clear view of your net tips, total earned, cash in hand, and effective hourly rate. LOG A SHIFT YOUR WAY • Start a live shift and add tips as you earn them • Log a past shift with only tips and hours, then add details when you need them • Keep cash, card, tip-in, and tip-out amounts separate • Save a draft stash when you want to add hours later SEE WHAT YOUR WORK WAS WORTH • Calculate net tips, base pay, total earned, cash in hand, and effective hourly rate • Keep each shift’s wage and currency with that record, so later changes never rewrite history • Track multiple jobs, roles, wages, and supported currencies • Add sales, other income, expenses, and notes when they matter FIND ANY SHIFT FAST • Browse a clear calendar of daily earnings • Open and edit saved shifts from your history • Keep deleted shifts out of totals instead of losing them immediately • Import a CSV backup or another tracker’s history, then export whenever you need it • Recover old quick-tip rows into clear unfinished drafts instead of misleading zero-hour history entries BUILD A PRIVATE SHIFT HABIT • Set an optional weekly earnings goal and see a calm weekly recap, best saved shift, and transparent monthly pace • Add a pay-period start day when you want a paycheck-aligned view • Save a shift template for the job, hours, wage, and tip-out you repeat most • Choose one useful reminder for an unfinished shift—never a streak or repeated nag PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account required • No ads or third-party analytics SDKs • Keep records on your device by default • Optionally use Face ID lock, amount hiding outside the app, and iCloud sync USEFUL WITHOUT THE FRICTION • Start a shift, add a preset cash or card tip, or undo the last quick tip from the Home Screen widget • Configure a widget for a job and its common amounts • See your live shift on the Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, and Live Activity • Use Siri Shortcuts and supported Control Center controls for start, add-tip, and finish actions • Use the simple essentials first; advanced fields stay out of the way until you open them TipStash is not a bank, payroll service, or tax-advice app. It is the simple, private place to keep a trustworthy record of what each shift earned.
