TipBud is the tip tracker for servers and bartenders: log a shift in ten seconds, see your true hourly rate, and keep a history that syncs between your iPhone and iPad with no account. TipBud logs a shift in about ten seconds and shows your true hourly rate: wages + tips − tip-outs. And your history survives anything — private iCloud backup, CSV export, no account, no ads. Built for servers, bartenders, baristas, and anyone who works for tips. WHY TIPPED WORKERS SWITCH TO TIPBUD • Ten-second shift entry that learns your patterns — it fills in your usual Saturday, you just fix the numbers • True hourly rate on every shift and every week (wage + tips − tip-outs ÷ hours) • Tip-out rules per job — busser 2%, bar 1.5%? Set it once, it's computed every shift • Your month on a calendar, night by night, with a tap-any-day breakdown • Home screen that knows you: last night's take-home, week trend, month pace, and what your best weekday actually pays • Weekly recap on YOUR pay week, not the calendar's • Home-screen widget — last shift and your week, at a glance • Cash vs card split, day-of-week averages, personal bests • Multiple jobs with separate wages — all included, nothing extra to buy • New U.S. federal tip deduction (2025–2028): keep the daily tip log the IRS expects, export it any time • CSV export, always — your tips are your data • Switching apps? Import your history from a CSV in minutes • Private iCloud sync + backup files — no account, no login, nothing to lose • Face ID app lock — your money stays your business • Share a night as a clean card — with a $-hidden mode that shows the shape, never the dollars • Optional reminders computed from your own history, off by default • Light, dark, or system appearance — and built to respect your text-size settings ONE PURCHASE, YOURS FOREVER Your first 14 shifts include every feature, nothing held back. After that, a single one-time unlock keeps TipBud yours for good — no subscription, no ads, ever. And your history stays viewable and exportable even if you never buy. No account. No tracking. Just your tips, added up honestly.
