What you earned.
What you owe.
What you're building.

At least 30 days free — your card isn't charged until your trial ends, and your exact trial length is shown on the paywall when you sign up. Cancel anytime in Settings before then and you owe nothing. You'll also get a reminder email before any charge hits.

Yes. Settings → Subscriptions opens the Stripe billing portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period — no clawback, no questions.

Yes — by keeping the records you need to claim it. The federal 'No Tax on Tips' deduction (2025–2028) lets eligible tipped workers deduct up to $25,000 of qualified tips from their federal income, whether or not they itemize. But to claim it, you need a contemporaneous log of what you actually earned in tips. Night Shift captures your cash tips on every shift, so at tax time you have the dated, exportable record to back it up. It applies to federal income tax only (not FICA or state), income limits apply, and this isn't tax advice — check your specifics with a tax pro.

By default, no. Night Shift is offline-first — everything you log lives in your phone's local storage. Paid plans optionally enable encrypted cloud sync of your earnings data, so it survives losing your phone or upgrading devices. Subscription status is always handled by our payment processor (Stripe). To enable encrypted sync, sign in with your email (magic link) or Google — no password required. Your earnings stay local until you turn on cloud backup.

Standard gets you the full app — goal jars, shift tracking, CSV export, calculators, and earnings reports. As you log shifts, the app shows you in real time how much to set aside for taxes — and how many shifts cover the cost of Night Shift itself. That's everything you need to manage irregular income. There is no Premium tier — Standard is the whole app.

Pick "Other service-industry pros" — the default room covers dancers, salon workers, contractors, delivery, and anyone else who works for themselves. Your jars, shift tracking, and earnings reports all work the same way regardless of vertical. And if you work multiple gigs — bartend AND drive rideshare, for example — Night Shift tracks all of them together.

Yes — that's a core feature. Add as many income sources as you have (e.g. bartender at Maggie's + Uber on weekends + occasional salon shifts). Each gig gets its own pay rate (per shift or per hour), shift count, and hours per shift. The app rolls everything up into one weekly and monthly forecast, and you can edit any source anytime in Settings → Sources.

That's the whole reason Night Shift exists. The "Realistic annual range" view on signup lets you tweak a fluctuation slider (slow weeks vs. peak weeks) so you see the low and high bounds — not a pretend average that ignores reality. As you log shifts, the app learns your actual variance and surfaces patterns at 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 logged shifts (best night, peak hour, monthly trend, etc.).

Night Shift automatically reserves a percentage of every shift's net pay (default 25% for self-employed; 20% for restaurant W-2 + tip work — both editable in Settings). The reserved amount lands in a Tax Reserve jar that updates live as you log shifts. Built-in 1099 quarterly calculator helps you decide what to send to the IRS each quarter. The app doesn't file taxes for you — it makes April predictable instead of a panic.

Yes. The History tab lets you search, filter, and edit any past shift, expense, or deposit. Tap a shift to update gross, fees, hours, source, or notes — the app recalculates net and tax reserve automatically. Same for expenses (gas, fees, deductibles) and deposits.

On a paid plan, your earnings are backed up to our cloud, encrypted with AES-256 and stored as ciphertext on our servers. Sign in on the new phone with magic link or Google and your data restores in seconds. The free trial period also gets cloud backup so you don't lose any setup work. Your subscription is tied to your email, so a lost phone never costs you a year of records. On the free tier, nothing leaves your phone — cloud backup is opt-in and only runs on a paid plan.

For tax accuracy, yes — but the logging itself takes about 30 seconds per shift. The home screen has a one-tap log button that pre-fills your most-recent source, date, and a sensible gross. You can also backfill up to 5 past shifts during onboarding to get insights faster. The app is designed for a quick after-shift check-in, not a chore.

No. Night Shift is a tracking and forecasting tool — it shows you what you're earning, what to set aside, and what your real $/hour is. At tax time, hand the CSV export to your CPA or load it into TurboTax / FreeTaxUSA. We make April easier; we don't file your return.

Every account starts with a free trial — at least 30 days, sometimes 60 or 90 depending on your cohort. After that, Standard ($99.99 first year, $149.99/yr standard) unlocks the full app. There's no permanent free tier — but the trial gives you full access with cloud backup so you can confidently decide.

Gross = what you pulled before any deductions (cash + tips + base + bonuses). Net = gross minus your fees (tip-out, platform commission), expenses (gas, deductibles), and tax set-aside. Night Shift computes net for you in real time as you log each shift, so you always see the real number — not the platform's misleading "earnings" total.

Yes. Every screen, every email, and every notification is fully translated. Pick your language on the first onboarding screen, or change it later in Settings.
