Earnly

Keep what you earn. Earnly is a tip tracker built specifically for bartenders — by people who know the work. Track every shift, every tip-out, and your estimated No Tax on Tips deduction. Get CPA-ready tax exports when April rolls around. No ads, ever. WHY EARNLY Most tip trackers are built for "any tipped worker" and end up serving none of them well. Earnly is different. It handles the way bartenders actually work — multiple roles in one shift (bartender + barback), rule-based tip-outs to bussers and barbacks, multiple workplaces with separate hourly rates, and tracking the difference between what you earned and what you actually take home. WHAT YOU GET (FREE) - Track every shift with hourly wage, tips, tip-outs, and take-home - Automatic tip-out rules - Schedule patterns that pre-fill your usual shifts - Goals with pace tracking and "ahead/behind" insights - Audit trail on every edit - Cloud sync across devices when you sign in (free, anonymous-first) EARNLY PRO ($4.99/mo or $29.99/yr) - Tax Export — CPA-ready PDF and CSV reports for every tax year - No Tax on Tips deduction tracker — see an estimate of how much you can deduct under the federal No Tax on Tips Act (up to $25,000/year) - Unlimited workplaces and unlimited roles per workplace - Multi-role shifts — bartender + barback in a single entry, with separate rates and tip-outs - Safe Budget — your forward-looking financial picture PRIVACY & NO ADS Earnly is ad-free. We don't sell your data. We don't show you "personalized offers." Your shifts, tips, and earnings are yours. MADE FOR BARTENDERS Built by an indie developer with a bartender wife who lives this every shift. Earnly will keep getting better — and bartenders will always be the user we design for first.
