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.

Know what you really make. Tip Tracker is a private tip and shift log for people who work for tips. Log a shift in seconds — hours, cash, card — and see your real hourly rate the moment you save it. Most apps stop at "how much did you make tonight". This one answers the harder question: what did that shift actually pay you per hour, after you tipped out? Enter your hours and your tips, add your tip-out and your base wage, and it does the arithmetic you would otherwise be doing in your head at 1am. • Log a shift in seconds — hours, cash tips, card tips, tip-out • Your effective hourly rate: base wage + tips − tip-out, over hours worked • Track income by shift, by week and by month • Watch your hourly rate trend across shifts as one smoothed line • Find your best nights — which shifts actually pay, by day of the week • A full history you can browse as a list or on a calendar • More than one job, each with its own wage and its own numbers • Export your log as a CSV whenever you want it THE AFTER-MIDNIGHT RULE A shift that ends at 1:40am belongs to the night that started yesterday. Between midnight and 6am a new entry is filed under the previous day automatically, so your week totals and day-of-week stats stay right without you thinking about it. The date is always editable. WHO IT IS FOR Servers and waitresses. Bartenders and barbacks. Baristas, hosts and bussers. Delivery drivers and couriers. Hair stylists, barbers and nail techs. Valets, bellhops, casino dealers, catering and banquet staff. PRIVATE AND OFFLINE Your data stays on your device — no account, no cloud. There is no sign-in and no server, so it works with no signal at all. Nothing is uploaded anywhere. No ads, ever. For your personal records only — not tax, accounting, or financial advice.
