01 / After the last table
Built for the 1 a.m. entry
Your real hourly rate
Tip-out comes off, wage goes on, and the rate is total earnings divided by hours. The same maths runs behind every figure in the app, so two numbers on one screen never disagree.
Keep a copy for yourself
Stored on your iPhone and mirrored to your own private iCloud. Export the lot as a CSV whenever you like, free, including shifts older than the free tier displays.
02 / A little nightly ritual
How it works
- 1
Set up your job once
Name, hourly wage if you have one, and your tip-out rule: none, a flat amount, a percentage of tips or a percentage of sales.
- 2
Log each shift after close
Tap the plus, type cash and card tips, check the pre-filled tip-out and hours, save. A toast tells you the total and the rate.
- 3
Read the week, then the pattern
The Shifts screen shows week-to-date earnings, hours and hourly rate, with a subtotal for every week. After five shifts Insights names your best day; with Pro it shows the whole weekday chart and your rate's trend.
03 / Your working week, on paper
What it looks like
The docket design in Tillside 1.1, available now. Sample shifts shown; your earnings will vary.
04 / No surprises on the bill
Free to use. Pro if you want more
The paywall never gates logging, export, reminders, the widget or the calculator. Pro is for history, more jobs and Insights, never for access to your own data. Prefer not to subscribe? Buy it once.

Read the guideFrequently asked questions
What is the best way to keep track of tips as a server?
Write down four numbers after every shift: cash tips, card tips, what you tipped out, and hours worked. Tillside asks for exactly those, pre-fills your wage and tip-out rule, and works out net tips and your hourly rate. The whole entry takes about 30 seconds.
How does Tillside calculate my real hourly wage?
Net tips are cash plus card tips minus tip-out. Total earnings are net tips plus your hourly wage times hours worked. Your effective hourly rate is total earnings divided by hours. Every figure in the app comes from those three lines.
Can Tillside handle tip-out automatically?
Yes. Each job has a tip-out rule: none, a flat amount, a percentage of tips, or a percentage of sales. The rule pre-fills the tip-out field on every new shift, and you can overwrite it on any night that was different.
Is Tillside free?
Yes. Logging shifts, the widget, reminders and full CSV export are free, with no ads. The free tier shows the last 30 days and one job. Tillside Pro adds full history, Insights and unlimited jobs with monthly, yearly and lifetime options. The yearly plan includes a 7-day trial. See the pricing section for App Store prices by country.
Does Tillside show ads?
No, and it never will. Tillside is paid for by the optional Pro subscription, not by advertising. There is no ad SDK in the app at all.
What happens to my data if I lose or replace my phone?
Tillside stores every shift on your iPhone and mirrors it to your own private iCloud database when iCloud is on. Shifts that have finished syncing can return when you reinstall using the same Apple Account with iCloud enabled. Export a CSV for a separate copy. There is no Tillside account to lose, and no server of ours holds your data.
Can I export my tips for taxes?
Yes, for free, for your whole history. Settings, then Export, produces a CSV with one row per shift: date, job, hours, wage, cash tips, card tips, tip-out, net tips, total earnings and your hourly rate. It opens cleanly in Excel, Numbers and Google Sheets.
Can I track tips from two jobs?
Yes, with Tillside Pro. Each job keeps its own wage, tip-out rule and colour, the shift sheet shows a job switcher, and the Shifts screen can filter to one job so you can compare where your hours pay best.
How do I know which day of the week I earn the most?
Insights. With Pro it ranks the seven days by your average hourly rate, plots your rate over the last twelve weeks, names your best and worst shift, and compares this month with last month to the same day, once you have five shifts. Free users see the charts blurred over sample data, with their own best-day sentence in front after five shifts.
Will Tillside remind me to log my shift?
If you ask it to. After three shifts it offers a nightly reminder for your job, at 23:00 by default, only on nights you have not logged a shift at that job. It is off by default, and the time and the switch live in the job's settings. Tapping the notification opens the New Shift sheet.
Does Tillside work in the UK, Australia and Canada?
Yes. Money is shown in your own currency, weeks start on the day your region uses, and the tip calculator defaults to local norms such as 12.5% in the UK. Tillside is available on the US, UK, Australian and Canadian App Stores.
