About Tip Bucket
Built for the people who earn their living on tips.
Our Story
Tip Bucket first launched on the App Store in 2011 — one of the earliest tip tracking apps available. The idea was simple: give service industry workers a fast, easy way to log their tips and understand their earnings over time.
In 2026, we rebuilt Tip Bucket from the ground up with a modern tech stack, a beautiful new design, and a full web version. The core mission hasn't changed: make tip tracking effortless so workers can focus on what matters — earning more and understanding where their money comes from.
Our Mission
Empower service industry workers to understand and grow their earnings. We believe every tipped worker deserves clear visibility into their income — what they're making, when they're making it, and how it's trending. Tip Bucket makes that possible with zero cost, zero ads, and zero compromises.
Built by aka0 Labs
Tip Bucket is a product of aka0 Labs (BRAND ERP, LLC), an independent software studio based in Las Vegas, Nevada.
We build tools that solve real problems for real people. No venture capital, no growth-at-all-costs mentality — just useful software that does what it says.
Why Free?
Service industry workers shouldn't have to pay to track their own earnings. Tip Bucket is free because we believe financial awareness tools should be accessible to everyone. We sustain development through optional donations via the in-app Tip Jar and our other products.
