What TipVault does
TipVault is the offline tip + shift income log built for the 3 million US restaurant servers and bartenders who run their lives on cash. Designed for the post-No-Tax-on-Tips era. No account. No cloud. No ads. Why now: the One Big Beautiful Bill lets tipped workers deduct up to $25,000 of tips for 2025-2028. To claim it you need a per-shift log the IRS will accept. ServerLife, the category leader, syncs every entry to a cloud server some users now refuse on principle. TipSee users on the App Store report 'unable to email myself a backup of my data for many years.' What TipVault does: — One-tap shift entry: date, hours, cash tips, credit tips, tip-out, sales. Less than 5 seconds. — Audit-ready PDF export. Per-month and per-year breakdowns formatted to align with the IRS tip-deduction worksheet. AirDrop it to your accountant. — Weekly + monthly Swift Charts. See your slow Tuesdays, your big Saturdays, your seasonal patterns. — Section-aware income tracking. Bar vs floor vs delivery? Track each separately. — Calendar view. Tap any day to add or fix a shift. Notifications nudge you if you forgot to log last night. Fully offline. SwiftData on-device. The only tip log that's truly yours — and the only one with a built-in 'No Tax on Tips' deduction estimator that uses 2025 brackets without ever phoning a server.

Why it exists
The problem
Tipped workers need a private, audit-ready tip log to claim the new $25K No-Tax-on-Tips deduction, but every existing tip-tracker either syncs to the cloud (ServerLife), has broken data export (TipSee), or requires an account (Balance).
What's different
How TipVault stands out
TipVault is the only tip tracker that stores every shift entry locally with no account, computes the 2025-2028 No-Tax-on-Tips deduction estimate on-device using current IRS brackets, and exports an audit-ready per-year PDF — ServerLife requires cloud sync, TipSee's PDF export has been broken for 'many years' per its A…
