Tip Tracker

Know exactly what every shift paid you. Tip Tracker is the private tip log for servers, bartenders, baristas, drivers and anyone who works for gratuities โ add each shift the moment you clock out and watch your real income add up. Most people track tips in the Notes app or a shoebox of receipts, then guess at the end of the month. This app is built around one number you can actually feel: a jar that fills as your total climbs toward the goal you set. Every entry moves it. Nothing is estimated, nothing is linked to a bank, nothing is shared. WHAT YOU GET - Log a shift in about ten seconds โ amount, cash / card / app, hours worked, and a note for the venue - A jar that visibly fills as your total grows, so progress toward your goal is obvious at a glance - One goal that matters โ rent, savings, a trip โ with a progress ring, milestones, and how many more shifts it will take - Weekly and monthly earnings charts that show which stretches actually paid and which ones didn't - A cash vs card vs app breakdown, your best shift ever, your average per shift, and your logging streak - A searchable log grouped by day, filtered by payment type, with swipe-to-delete when you mistype PERFECT FOR - Servers, waitstaff and hosts tracking nightly gratuities - Bartenders and baristas comparing weekday and weekend shifts - Delivery and rideshare drivers logging what each run really earned - Hotel, valet and salon staff building a record of their own income WHY NOT JUST USE NOTES OR A SPREADSHEET? A note gives you a pile of numbers. This gives you the totals, the trend and the goal already worked out โ day, week, month, best shift, average, remaining. No formulas to maintain, no file to lose, and it takes one tap on your phone instead of ten on a keyboard. PRIVACY Everything lives on your device. No account, no sign-up, no bank connection, no ads, no tracking. Your earnings are yours alone. Your totals are personal records for your own use โ not an official pay statement or tax document. FULL ACCESS Full access unlocks the whole app: unlimited tip entries, goal tracking with milestones and projections, weekly and monthly trend charts, payment-source breakdowns, streaks, and the daily reminder. Choose the plan that fits โ weekly, yearly, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled; lifetime is paid once. Add tonight's tips before you take your shoes off โ the jar starts filling immediately.
