Know what you walked with. TipKeep is the tip tracker built for people who actually work for tips — servers, bartenders, baristas, delivery drivers, nail techs, barbers. Log your shift in about 10 seconds, watch a real glass jar fill with cash as your week builds, and finally know the number nobody's paystub shows: your real hourly, after tip-outs. THE 10-SECOND RITUAL • Cash tips, card tips, hours — done before you've left the parking lot • Tip-outs, sales, and notes when you want the full picture • Double shifts, multiple jobs, editing past days — all supported • A receipt for every shift: "YOU WALKED WITH $243" — made to share YOUR WEEK, VISIBLE • The jar fills toward your weekly goal as you log • Home screen and lock screen widgets — tap to log a shift in one step • See your real $/hour, your best nights, and what you're on pace for this month TAX-READY BY DEFAULT Up to $25,000 of qualified reported tips may be federally deductible for 2025–2028. Your per-shift log is the documentation — TipKeep shows your year-to-date tip total and exports a clean report at tax time. (TipKeep is a record-keeping tool, not tax advice.) YOUR MONEY IS YOUR BUSINESS We read hundreds of reviews of other tip trackers before building this one. The #1 complaint: years of records lost behind logins and servers. So TipKeep is built the other way: • No account. No login. Nothing to lose. • Your shifts and your money stay on your phone — never on our servers • No ads, ever • Works offline, even closing shift in a basement • Switching apps? Import your old shifts from any CSV — free FREE & PRO Logging is free forever, with this week's totals and 30 days of history. TipKeep Pro unlocks your full history, month & year stats with best-nights insights, multiple jobs, and CSV export — $19.99/year with a 7-day free trial, $7.99/month, or $39.99 once for lifetime. No tricks, no per-feature fees. Built for the industry. Drop tonight in the jar. Questions? Visit tipjarapp.app or email us — a human answers.
