About

Tip Tracker

Read full description

The tip tracker that respects your money: no ads, no account, and your history is never held hostage. Tillside is a shift-and-tips ledger for hospitality workers. Log a shift in about thirty seconds — cash tips, card tips, tip-out, hours, wage — and see what you actually made tonight, and what that works out to per hour. WHAT YOU ACTUALLY EARNED Every shift shows net tips after tip-out, total earnings including your wage, and your real hourly rate. One calculation, used everywhere in the app, so the number on a shift always matches the number on the week. THIRTY SECONDS, THEN BED The new-shift sheet opens in one tap from anywhere and pre-fills from your last shift at that job — same start, same hours, same wage. The first field is already focused. Save, and a summary tells you the night's total and your rate. TIP-OUT DONE FOR YOU Set a rule per job — a flat amount, a percentage of tips, or a percentage of sales — and it fills itself in on every shift. Always editable when the night was unusual. YOUR BEST NIGHTS, IN NUMBERS Insights shows your hourly rate by weekday, a twelve-week trend, your best and worst shifts, and this month against last. If Saturdays pay better than Fridays, you will see it. BUILT SO YOU CANNOT LOSE IT Everything is stored on your phone and mirrored to your own private iCloud automatically. Delete the app, reinstall it, and your history comes back. There is no account, so there is no account to lose. It works fully offline; sync catches up on its own later. EXPORT EVERYTHING, ALWAYS One tap sends your complete history as a CSV to Numbers, Excel or Google Sheets — every shift you have ever logged, not just the recent ones. Useful at tax time, useful the day you decide to leave. A CALCULATOR THAT IS JUST A CALCULATOR Bill, tip percentage, split between however many of you. No sign-in, no interruption, no upsell. ALSO IN THE APP • Calendar month view, shaded by what you earned • Home-screen widget: week to date, last shift, one-tap log • An optional nightly reminder, per job, off until you ask for it • A week-in-review card at the start of your week • Multiple jobs, each with its own color, wage and tip-out rule • Full VoiceOver and Dynamic Type support TILLSIDE PRO Pro opens your full history, unlimited jobs and Insights. Logging shifts, exporting your data and the calculator are never behind it. No ads. Not now, not later. This is a record of your money, not a place to sell you something at one in the morning.
