Tipvora is a tip and shift income tracker for people who work in restaurants and bars. [One shift, one record] Enter cash tips and card tips separately, plus hours, hourly rate, tip out, sales and a note — all on one screen. Nothing interrupts you while you are entering, saving or editing a shift. [Totals and calendar] Daily, weekly, monthly and yearly totals, whenever you want them. The calendar shows what came in each day, so you can see which nights actually pay. Set the day your pay week starts to match your restaurant. [Built for more than one job] Add every place you work. Each job keeps its own hourly rate and tip-out default, and totals can be read per job or all together. [Your records do not disappear] No account, no sign-in. Everything is stored on this device, and CSV export plus backup file export and restore are free — always. Take your history with you when you change phones. A weekly on-device snapshot runs in the background too. [Fix it later] Wrong date? Every shift can be edited, deleted or moved to another day, any time. [Premium] Weekday, shift and job comparisons, a month-end projection, goal tracking, an annual summary PDF, and no ads. Recording, totals and exporting stay free. This is not a tip calculator. It is where the work you did stays recorded. Terms of Use (EULA): https://show-ec09e.web.app/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://show-ec09e.web.app/privacy.html

ShiftSlip is the notebook you fill in when the shift ends. Hours. Cash tips. Charge tips. What you tipped out. Four numbers, one screen, about fifteen seconds - and ShiftSlip tells you what that shift really paid you per hour once the tip-out came off. WHAT IT ANSWERS • What did that shift actually pay me, per hour, after the tip-out? • Is Tuesday lunch worth picking up, or worth trading away? • What did this pay period come to, and does it match my paycheque? • Where is the record my employer and my tax preparer are going to ask for? THE TIP-OUT, DONE PROPERLY Set a rule per job - a percentage of tips, a percentage of sales, a flat amount, or a figure you type - and split it across the bar, the bussers, the host and the runners by name. ShiftSlip resolves it, shows every share, and never quietly rounds a cent away. THE DAILY TIP RECORD IRS Publication 531 tells tipped employees to write down, every workday: cash tips, charge tips, the value of noncash tips, and the tips they paid out - and to give the month's report to their employer by the 10th of the next month. ShiftSlip keeps exactly those fields, day by day, with your employer and business name on it and the monthly total at the foot. It also keeps voluntary tips and service charges or auto-gratuities in two separate columns, because they are not the same thing. ShiftSlip produces records and does arithmetic on them. It is not tax advice, and it does not calculate tax, deductions or refunds. EXPORT IS FREE. ALWAYS. CSV for a spreadsheet, printable PDF for a person, any date range, straight to the share sheet. It is free and behind no purchase - and with no cloud in this version, it is also how you keep a copy. EVERYTHING ELSE IS FREE TOO • Effective hourly, tips per hour and tip percentage on every shift • Weekly, pay-period and monthly totals - weekly, biweekly, semimonthly or monthly cycles • Charts by week, by day of week and by job • Several jobs, for doubles and second jobs, each with its own rate, cycle and rules • An optional check against a minimum wage you enter yourself, so you can see a period worth asking about • A photo of the paper closeout slip attached to the shift, if you want one No feature is locked. No subscription. No trial. WORKS IN THE BACK OF HOUSE Your jobs, shifts, tips, tip-outs and reports are stored only on this iPhone. There is no account, no email sign-up, no cloud and no server, so it works with no signal at 1am and there is nothing to sync, sell or breach. FREE, WITH ADS - AND A WAY OUT ShiftSlip is free and supported by Google AdMob. A banner sits at the bottom of the dashboard, history, reports and jobs screens, and a single full-screen ad can appear on the summary after a shift has already been saved. No ad ever appears while you are entering a shift, splitting a tip-out, reading the daily tip record or exporting. One optional purchase removes all advertising forever, and unlocks nothing, because nothing else is locked. GOOD TO KNOW • iPhone, iOS 17 or later • Available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Turkish, Arabic and Chinese • Light and dark, Dynamic Type and VoiceOver supported • Sample data on first run, so you can see it working before typing anything • This version has no notifications, no shift scheduling, no cloud sync, no CSV import and no receipt scanning
