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. WHY SERVERS LOVE US: Unlike other apps that charge monthly fees or force you to create an account, we respect your time and your wallet.  - No Subscriptions.  - No Ads.  - No Account Needed. (Your data stays on your phone). CORE FEATURES: Fast Entry: Log your shift in seconds. Cash vs. Credit: Separate your cash tips from credit card tips instantly.

Total Privacy: We don't harvest your data. It lives locally on your device. EXPORT & TAXES (Premium Feature): For a simple, one-time price of $0.99, you can unlock the ability to Export Reports forever. Spreadsheet (CSV): Perfect for your accountant or Excel.
