## What is StayCount Resident?

StayCount Resident counts the days you spend in each country for tax-residency and
  travel-compliance purposes — directly from the boarding passes you already have.
  
  Three ways to record a flight:
  • Scan a paper or digital boarding pass with the camera. The IATA barcode is read on-device and
  the flight is logged in seconds.
  • Share a pass from Apple Wallet directly into the app. Tap your boarding pass in Wallet, choose
  Share Pass → StayCount Resident, and you're done.
  • Add flights manually for trips where no boarding pass exists.
  
  Day counting that matches the real rules:
  • Each international flight opens a stay in the destination country and closes the previous one.
  • The departure day is counted in the country you flew out of, so the day totals always add up to
   your elapsed calendar days — no double-counting, no missing days.
  • Domestic flights are kept on the timeline as evidence but never inflate your country totals.
  
  Multi-year tracking, your way:
  • Configure your tracking-year start date in Settings — January 1, April 6 (UK), July 1
  (Australia), or any custom day.
  • Browse the current year and every previous tracking period from the home screen, with
  per-period flight counts and storage size.
  • Generate a multi-page PDF compliance report for any period, with per-country totals, a
  chronological timeline, and embedded boarding-pass evidence.
  • Archive a previous period to PDF before deleting it, in one guided flow.
  
  Privacy by design:
  • Every record stays either on your device or in your private iCloud account — synced through
  Apple's CloudKit so the developer cannot see, query, or export anything.
  • No analytics, no tracking SDKs, no advertising, no third-party servers.
  • The app validates that imported boarding passes belong to you (by matching your name) and
  rejects passes for other passengers at import.
  
  Built for international workers, frequent travellers, digital nomads, and anyone with
  multi-jurisdiction tax obligations. StayCount Resident does the day arithmetic so you don't have
  to — but it's a record-keeping tool, not tax advice. Always check the specific rules of your
  jurisdiction with a qualified advisor.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.1.1 — 2026-05-27

• Fixes a layout issue on iPhone 15 Pro Max (and similar models on iOS 26) where the home-screen toolbar collapsed into a single overflow
  button. All actions are visible again.

  • "About StayCount" has moved into Settings — same content, one tap deeper. Functionally unchanged.

### 1.1 — 2026-05-18

What's new in 1.1

  • Same-day connections (transits) are now properly recognized. A layover between two flights on the same day no longer
   adds a day to that country's total.

  • New All Flights list. Tap the airplane icon in the toolbar to see every flight you've logged in one chronological
  list, with country flags and a total count. Useful for finding and removing a wrong or duplicate record from any year.

  • Tap any segment of your timeline to open that country's full visit history.

  • Better name matching. Boarding passes where the airline merged your title into your name (like "MRJANE DOE") now
  import correctly instead of being rejected.

  • Sharper camera scans. Scanned boarding passes are now automatically cropped and straightened, and a scan won't be
  saved without a clear photo for your records — hold the phone 6–10 inches above the pass for best results.

  • Small fixes: tidier date display on same-day connections, and a cleaner home screen when you haven't logged a
  previous year yet.

### 1.0 — 2026-05-12

No release notes.
