The four pillars
A tip log was never enough. This is the whole picture.
Most apps stop at "did I make money today?" NeighCheck answers the harder questions: what's my real hourly rate, what do I owe the IRS, when am I getting paid, and am I being underpaid?
Tax tools that don't gaslight you
Real federal progressive brackets applied to your filing status and projected income. A Savings Jar tells you what to set aside after every shift. Quarterly payment estimates with due-date reminders. Tip reporting tracker.
Insights that change your week
Which day pays best. Which section pays best. How weather affects your tips. How your sleep and steps correlate with shift performance. Period comparisons. Paycheck predictor. Personal records you actually want to beat.
The Herd: a community you can trust
Anonymous wage transparency. Employer reviews from verified employees. Forums sorted by profession. Job listings with real wage data attached. End-to-end encrypted DMs. Your real name is never tied to community activity.
Tax toolkit
Stop guessing what you owe. Start knowing.
Tax season for tipped workers is a panic-scramble through screenshots and bank statements. NeighCheck builds the answer all year long — by the shift, by the quarter, by the bracket.
Tax Dashboard
Progressive federal brackets applied to your actual filing status — Single, MFJ, MFS, or HoH — with state on top.
Tax Savings Jar
Tells you exactly what to move to savings after each shift. No surprise April bill.
Quarterly Payments
Estimated 1040-ES amounts with due-date reminders. Stay current with the IRS without a CPA.
Tip Reporting Tracker
Track actual vs. reported tips for tax accuracy. See the gap. Close it before audit season.
Expense Tracker
Categorized work expenses with receipt photos. Scan receipts with on-device OCR. Apron, slip-resistant shoes, mileage — every deduction captured.
Mileage Log
Per-shift mileage with annual totals. Maps directly to the IRS standard rate for drivers and delivery.
Self-Employment Add-On
Schedule C and SE calculations for fully self-employed gig work. 1099 territory, handled.

You already feel that Friday dinner pays more than Tuesday lunch. NeighCheck shows you exactly how much more — and surfaces the patterns you can't feel.

The Herd · Community
Anonymous by default. Verified by the data.
Wage transparency without the LinkedIn vibes. Every community feature in NeighCheck runs through a Mask — a verified-but-anonymous identity tied to your real shift history, never your real name.
Mask Identity
One anonymous handle for all community activity. Your shifts validate your posts — your name never appears.
Wage Wire
A live feed of anonymized hourly averages, day-of-week breakdowns, and best/worst shifts — all backed by real logged data.
Employer Intel
Reviews from verified employees, rated on pay, management, schedule, culture, and tip structure. No HR-controlled fluff.
Pastures (Forums)
Profession-filtered forums for venting, advice, scheduling questions, and tip-share discussions. Mods who actually know the work.
Job Board
Listings tagged with verified wage data from current employees. Apply with eyes open.
Verified Resume
Auto-built from your shift history. Employers see real tenure and earnings — no inflated bullet points.
End-to-End Encrypted DMs
Mask-to-mask direct messages, encrypted on-device. Nobody — not even us — can read them.
AI Coach
Talk through tax questions, savings strategy, or whether to take the new shift. Trained on your actual data, not generic advice.

Frequently asked
Questions, answered.
Is NeighCheck really free?
Yes. Every feature is unlocked at no cost for a limited time. No ads, no upsells, no trial gate. There are no in-app purchases or subscriptions today — if and when that changes, you'll be told clearly before anything is charged.
Which professions is NeighCheck designed for?
NeighCheck ships with smart defaults for 11 tipped and gig professions: Server, Bartender, Barista, Hair Stylist, Barber, Massage Therapist, Rideshare Driver, Delivery Driver, Hotel Housekeeping, Valet, and Casino Dealer. If yours isn't listed, "Other" works with full custom job configuration — multiple jobs, custom hourly rates, custom pay periods, custom colors.
How does the tax dashboard actually work?
NeighCheck applies real federal progressive tax brackets to your filing status (Single, MFJ, MFS, or HoH) and projected income, layered with state-level rates. The Savings Jar tells you what to set aside after every shift. The Quarterly Payments tool estimates your 1040-ES amounts with due-date reminders. The Tip Reporting Tracker keeps actual vs. reported tips aligned. It's tax software for people who get paid by the shift — not a generic budgeting app retrofitted for tips. (Not a substitute for a CPA — but you'll show up to one with everything organized.)
Is my data private?
Yes. Your shift data lives on-device by default, with optional encrypted cloud sync if you sign in. The Herd's community features (Wage Wire, Employer Intel, Pastures, DMs) all post under an anonymous Mask — your real name and account are never tied to community activity. Direct messages are end-to-end encrypted: nobody, including NorseHorse, can read them.
Does NeighCheck work on Android?
Yes — fully native on both. The iOS version is built in SwiftUI; the Android version is built in Jetpack Compose with Material 3. They share the same data model, so you can switch platforms or use both without losing history.
How fast can I log a shift?
Under 10 seconds for a quick log: date, hours, cash tips, card tips, tip-out. Want detail? Add section, mileage, mood, quality rating, and notes — still under 30 seconds. Or skip it entirely: opt in to auto-detection, and NeighCheck recognizes when you arrive at and leave your workplace.
Will my data sync across devices?
Yes — encrypted cloud sync is built in. Pull-to-refresh on Shifts, Calendar, or Mileage to force a sync. Sign in once on each device and your shifts, expenses, mileage, and tax setup follow you.
What does "NeighCheck" mean?
It's a play on "paycheck" with the horse motif that runs through everything — community is "The Herd," forums are "Pastures," the anonymous identity is a "Mask," and shift checks are, well, neigh-checks. Yes, we know. It's a working-class app and we're not pretending otherwise.
