Frequently asked questions
What exactly is Tipper?
A private earnings assistant for DoorDash drivers on Android. It automatically logs your deliveries — tips, addresses, offers, wait times — then turns your real history into maps and insights: which areas pay, where offers come fast, and the days and times you've earned the most. Tip tracking is the foundation; the point is helping you earn more.
How does the automatic capture work?
Tipper uses Android's accessibility service to read the Dasher app's screens — the same information already displayed to you. When the delivery-complete screen shows your tip, Tipper records it. It reads only what's shown on your own screen, only from the Dasher app, and stores it only on your device.
Is my data private?
Yes — radically so. Everything lives in a local database on your phone. There are no accounts, no cloud sync, and no server of ours holding your data. The only things we ever receive are support emails you send and the standard payment info handled by our payment provider (Lemon Squeezy) when you subscribe. See the Privacy Policy.
Is this against DoorDash's terms?
Honest answer: DoorDash's agreements contain broad language about automated data collection, and we can't promise they'd approve. What we can tell you is that Tipper reads only what's displayed on your own screen about your own deliveries, stores it only on your own device, and shares it with no one. You should read your own agreements and make your own call — see the Terms of Service.
Will it break when DoorDash updates their app?
Sometimes, temporarily. When DoorDash changes a screen's layout, capture for that screen can stop until we ship a fix — that's the reality of every tool in this category, and a big part of what the subscription pays for. Your already-recorded data is never affected, and manual logging always works. Updates install over the top with your data intact.
What phones does it work on?
Android 8.0 or newer. No root, no special setup beyond enabling the accessibility service. (Sorry, no iPhone — iOS doesn't allow this kind of app.)
How does the free trial work?
Start the trial on this site — a card is required at checkout, but you aren't charged for 30 days. Your license key arrives by email right away; download the app, paste the key in, and everything is unlocked from day one. On day 31 the subscription starts billing $9.99/month automatically — cancel anytime before then and you pay nothing. It's one app for everyone: nothing to reinstall, and everything you record stays put.
How do updates work?
The app checks for new versions and shows an "Update available" button that takes you to the download page. We also email subscribers when a release ships. Download, install over the top, done — your data stays put.
Why isn't this on the Play Store?
Google heavily restricts apps that use accessibility services to read other apps, so Tipper is distributed directly from this site as an APK ("sideloading"). The install guide walks you through it — it's about three taps more than a normal install.
How do I cancel? Do I get a refund?
Cancel anytime from the "manage subscription" link in your receipt email — during the trial, cancelling means you're never charged at all. After the trial you keep access through the end of the billing cycle. If you'd rather not wait, email us and we'll refund the unused days of your current cycle, prorated. See the Refund Policy.
What happens to my data if I stop subscribing?
Your data is never touched — it stays in a local database on your phone, and it's yours. The app itself locks without an active subscription, but nothing is deleted: resubscribe and your full history and maps are right where you left them. You can export a backup anytime before your subscription ends.
