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.

Log your whole shift before you reach your car, by voice. "Murphy's, six hours, one-eighty card, ninety-five cash, tipped out forty." That's it. Tiplo's AI turns what you said into a logged shift: venue, hours, cash, card, tip-out, confirmed with one tap. Got a printed checkout slip instead? Scan it. The numbers read themselves in. Tiplo is the tip tracker that does the typing for you, then turns every documented tip into paperwork that pays. START FREE, SEE IT WORK • Your first log is on us: say it, scan it, or type it, no payment info needed • Explore every screen before you decide: your stats, your money, your documents • Then pick a plan to keep logging; the annual plan starts with a free trial No accounts. No sign-up. Your data lives on your phone, and it's never held hostage. KNOW YOUR REAL NUMBER Your Money screen shows what you actually make: dollars per hour overall, by venue, by day of the week, cash vs card. Find out whether Friday closes really beat Sunday brunch. With numbers, not vibes. TIPLO PRO: TIPLO DOES THE WORK • Unlimited logging: say it, scan it, or type it after every shift, forever. • Income Proof Pack: a bank-ready earnings statement (monthly totals, hours, averages) for apartment applications, auto loans, leases. Tips are real income; now you can prove it. • Tax Pack: your year-to-date documented tips, an estimate of what the federal tips deduction could be worth, and one-tap export of an IRS-style daily tip record (PDF + CSV) for your tax pro. • Full-history analytics, year-end pace projection, and a weekly coaching report. WHY DOCUMENTING EVERY TIP MATTERS NOW Under the federal tips deduction (2025-2028), up to $25,000 of qualified tips per year can come off your taxable income, but only tips you can document. Every logged shift in Tiplo is a contemporaneous record: the amounts, the venue, the hours, even your original voice note or slip photo. Every cash tip you don't write down is a deduction you lose. (Estimates only, not tax advice. Income limits and occupation rules apply. Consult a tax professional.) BUILT FOR TIPPED WORK Servers, bartenders, baristas, stylists, nail techs, delivery and rideshare drivers, valets, movers: if your income arrives as tips, Tiplo was built for your shift. Tiplo Pro is available as a monthly or annual subscription; the annual plan includes a free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID; subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled in Settings.
