iPhone

Log a shift in 20 seconds. See your true hourly rate, split cash vs card tips, track tip-outs, and export tax-ready records. Private iCloud backup — never lose a shift. You took home $240 last night — but what did you really make an hour? TipBud logs a shift in about ten seconds and shows your true hourly rate: wages + tips − tip-outs. And your history survives anything — private iCloud backup, CSV export, no account, no ads. Built for servers, bartenders, baristas, and anyone who works for tips. WHY TIPPED WORKERS SWITCH TO TIPBUD • Ten-second shift entry that learns your patterns — it fills in your usual Saturday, you just fix the numbers • True hourly rate on every shift and every week (wage + tips − tip-outs ÷ hours) • Tip-out rules per job — busser 2%, bar 1.5%? Set it once, it's computed every shift • Your month on a calendar, night by night, with a tap-any-day breakdown • Home screen that knows you: last night's take-home, week trend, month pace, and what your best weekday actually pays • Weekly recap on YOUR pay week, not the calendar's • Home-screen widget — last shift and your week, at a glance • Cash vs card split, day-of-week averages, personal bests • Multiple jobs with separate wages — all included, nothing extra to buy • New U.S. federal tip deduction (2025–2028): keep the daily tip log the IRS expects, export it any time • CSV export, always — your tips are your data • Switching apps? Import your history from a CSV in minutes • Private iCloud sync + backup files — no account, no login, nothing to lose • Face ID app lock — your money stays your business • Share a night as a clean card — with a $-hidden mode that shows the shape, never the dollars • Optional reminders computed from your own history, off by default • Light, dark, or system appearance — and built to respect your text-size settings ONE PURCHASE, YOURS FOREVER Your first 14 shifts include every feature, nothing held back. After that, a single one-time unlock keeps TipBud yours for good — no subscription, no ads, ever. And your history stays viewable and exportable even if you never buy. No account. No tracking. Just your tips, added up honestly.

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

Check you were paid right. Card tips increasingly land on your paycheck instead of in your hand, which makes a stub impossible to check. Now you can. Tell TipBud your pay period — weekly, every two weeks, twice a month, monthly — then add a paycheck and see what your logged shifts expected next to what the stub actually says. Also new: • Pay periods everywhere. Shifts ▸ Period totals the span you're actually paid for, not just a calendar week. • Unpaid breaks. Your hourly rate is now figured on paid hours, so a 30-minute break stops quietly dragging down the number this app exists to get right. • Tip percentage and average check, from sales you already record — weighted properly, so one slow Tuesday can't swing it. • Your tip record for the year, with voluntary tips and mandatory auto-grat kept apart the way they have to be. U.S. only, and it's a record — not tax advice. • Undo an import. A bad CSV used to be permanent. Now it isn't, and you see exactly what an import will do before it does it. • Settings tells you when you last backed up, and "How to use TipBud" explains the whole thing whenever you want it.
