Try it

Log a shift, watch the meter move.

Tap a cash tip, a card tip, or an automatic gratuity below. Qualifying tips push the deduction meter forward; the gratuity logs but stays excluded, exactly like it does in the app.

The problem

A week of tips is easy to remember. A year is not.

Cash, card, gig-platform payouts, and automatic gratuities can end up scattered across notes, receipts, and exports. Tax season is a poor time to reconstruct hundreds of shifts.

The habit

One small habit after every shift.

Record the shift while the details are fresh. TipKeep keeps the categories distinct, updates the deduction meter, and turns the accumulated ledger into an organized export when you need it.

TipKeep's Vault screen: a $14,250 of $25,000 deduction running total at 57% filed, with links to Export for Schedule 1-A, the Unreported Tips Drawer, Deduction Meter, Monthly Summary, and Phase-Out Calculator
One tap from the ledger

The Vault holds the rest.

The deduction meter, monthly summaries, the phase-out calculator, and your export bundle live one tap away, not buried in a menu.

What's in the ledger

Every number has a place to go.

Built around the way tipped work actually arrives: one shift, one payout, or one platform export at a time.

The fine print

Useful answers, plainly stated.

TipKeep organizes the records you enter. It does not file a return, provide tax advice, or claim affiliation with the IRS.

Not yet. TipKeep is currently being prepared for App Store submission. This page will be updated when it is available.
