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.

Features
Read full description

TipProof is a tip and paycheck tracker built for restaurant servers and bartenders. After each shift, photograph your checkout slip or enter the details manually. TipProof turns the numbers you confirm into a clear personal ledger, so you can see your hours, sales, cash tips, card tips, tip-outs, service charges, and true gross hourly earnings in one place. On payday, add your payroll statement and compare it with the shifts in that pay period. TipProof shows matched amounts and possible differences to review, with every result tied back to the records you confirmed. WITH TIPPROOF YOU CAN • Scan shift slips and review every extracted value • Import paycheck statements from Camera, Photos, or Files • Track multiple workplaces and positions • See weekly and monthly earnings, hours, and tip trends • Compare confirmed shifts with reported pay • Reopen source images from your history • Export your shift ledger as CSV • Recover an unfinished capture after a weak connection PRIVACY AND CONTROL Your financial records are never used for advertising. Product analytics can be turned off in Settings. You can export your shift data or delete your account and data from the app. TipProof is a personal recordkeeping tool. It does not provide legal, tax, accounting, payroll, or employment advice and does not determine whether an employer has complied with the law.
