Your week, at a glance

Every dollar you earned — cash, card, wage — in one honest number.

The home screen opens to this week's take-home, broken down the way you actually get paid. No calorie-counting your tips. No spreadsheet shame.

  • Cash, card, wages rolled into one number — same as your bank sees it Monday morning.
  • Weekly goal ring tells you which Saturday shift you can actually skip.
  • Recent shifts across every job — Blue Bottle, Taco Stand, catering all in one view.

Log it before you lose it

Cash slips your mind in 90 minutes. Not on our watch.

One tap from the home screen opens a sheet built for the parking lot, the bus stop, the 11:47 PM ride home. Big input. Fat fingers welcome. Three numbers and a save.

  • Cash tips first. The most-forgettable field is the biggest one on the screen.
  • Smart defaults. Picks your most-recent job, typical wage, and last shift length.
  • 10 PM reminder. A gentle push when your shift usually ends — snooze or log from the lock screen.
Patterns, not paperwork

Find your Friday. Then double it.

Insights pulls the truth from your last 7, 30, or 90 days — which day pays best, which job tips highest, whether your cash-vs-card split is shifting.

  • True hourly rate — wages plus tips divided by hours. The only fair comparison across jobs.
  • Tip-rate trend — this week against last week, with the peak day called out.
  • Cash vs card split with a friendly nudge: "Most cash tips on Fridays."

How it works

Three taps, a real number, every shift.

Built around the actual moment you remember to log — usually at a stoplight, usually with one hand.

01

Add your jobs

One name, one base wage. Add as many gigs as you stack — Blue Bottle Monday, Catering Wednesday, Farmers Market Saturday — they all roll up to one weekly number.

02

Log a shift, fast

Cash tips, card tips, hours. Twelve seconds, end-of-night. The big input is the one people forget — that's by design.

03

Watch the pattern

After two weeks, KairoTips tells you which job pays best, which shift to never miss, and how close you are to next month's rent.

Built for the way you actually work

Everything in one app, nothing you don't need.

Cash + card tips, separately

The split that matters for your rent, your savings, and your sanity.

True hourly rate

Wages + tips divided by hours. The only number that lets you compare two jobs fairly.

Calendar heatmap

See your whole month at a glance. Green is good. Dark green is your best day.

Smart 10 PM reminder

A nudge timed to your usual end-of-shift — learns the rhythm, stays out of your way.

Weekly goal tracker

Set rent plus groceries plus a little extra. KairoTips tells you when you can stop.

Spending tracker

Cash spent matters too. Log it in three taps, see where it went each month.

Private by design

Stored on your device. No employer hooks, no payroll integrations, no ad pixels.

Tip-rate trends

See this week vs last. Peak day called out. Slow weeks explained.

Best-shift highlights

"Friday was your best day this week." Small wins make the next shift easier.

Multiple jobs

Track every gig you stack — barista, banquet, dog-walking — under one roof.

Offline-first

No signal in the parking garage? Log anyway. It syncs when you get bars.

Shift history

Every shift, every job, going back as far as you log. Searchable. Sortable.

One-tap save

Big terracotta button at the bottom. Hard to miss even after a double shift.

Hours tracker

Plus and minus controls so you never mistype 8 hours as 80.

Job notes

Pin a note to any job — "always cash out register at close" — so nothing slips.

Built on a real chart engine

Numbers you can actually read in the parking lot.

Every chart is sized for a one-handed glance. Real Y-axes, honest grid lines, no rainbow gradients. The peak day glows terracotta. The off day is a gray stub, not a missing bar.
