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: your week at a glance • See your real $/hour, your best nights, and what you're on pace for this month YOUR RANK, BRONZE TO DIAMOND • See where your real hourly ranks among TipKeep members, and among servers or bartenders • Climb from Bronze to Diamond and share your server card, with your own photo • Best shifts to pick up: which nights actually pay you the most • Your check before payday, from the shifts you logged TAX-READY BY DEFAULT Up to $25,000 of qualified reported tips may be federally deductible for 2025 to 2028. Your per-shift log is the documentation: TipKeep shows your year-to-date tips 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 stay on your phone, never on our servers. Ranks use only an anonymous weekly average, and you can turn them off. • No ads, ever • Works offline, even closing shift in a basement • Switching apps? Import your old shifts from ServerLife or any spreadsheet, free TIPKEEP PRO Start with 7 days free, then $29.99/year. Or $7.99/month, or $49.99 once for lifetime. Cancel anytime in your iPhone's Settings. No ads on any plan. Built for the industry. Drop tonight in the jar. Questions? Visit tipjarapp.app or email us. A human answers.
