Schengen Simple answers the key question that other apps don't: what's the longest I can travel on any given date without jeopardising a future trip or breaking the 90/180 rule? Here's an example. Say you have a trip next week and another in 2 months, and you want to add one in between. Schengen Simple tells you exactly how long that middle trip can be without causing an overstay. You'll always know how long you can travel while ensuring you can still take every trip in your calendar. FEATURES - No need to nominate a date of entry. Schengen Simple analyses your full trip calendar at once, so you always know how long you can travel on any date without affecting trips you've already planned. - Multi-traveller support. Track Schengen allowance for your whole family or travel group in one app, each with their own calendar and calculations. - Passport Control mode displays exactly how long you've been in the Schengen Area in a given 180-day period. - See your allowance under every date in the calendar, so you can spot when it changes and plan accordingly. Often, waiting a few days gives you a longer stay. - Allowance Analysis. Easily probe why your allowance is what it is for a given date, so you know which trips you could edit to stay longer. - Personalised customer support. Questions about your trips or the rules? Get a real reply from a real person. - The Schengen Simple algorithm is thoroughly tested, including against the official EU calculator, so you can fully trust its calculations. - Clear, simple and easy to use. Even calculators deserve beautiful design. PRICING Get started with a one-week free trial, after which an annual subscription gives you full access to all features. Prices vary by country. Your subscription supports ongoing updates as Schengen rules evolve, personalised support from a real person when you need it, and we'll never sell your data or show ads.

180 Days is an ETIAS compliant Schengen trip tracker and Days Used/Left calculator. When visiting the European travel free zone called the Schengen area you are only allowed to stay for up to 90 days in the previous 180. The rule applies in a rolling fashion, with each date of your stay looking back at the previous 180 days to ensure that at no point in your entire trip do you overstay your allowed 90 days. In 180 Days you can enter your past trips as well as your future planned trips. For each trip 180 Days will calculate how many of your 90 days you have used in the previous 180 for that specific trip, including on the arrival date and departure date. This means that even when planning a future trip you can immediately see how many days you will have used on your arrival date and departure date, giving you peace of mind that you will not accidentally overstay. FEATURES - Add Past and Future Planned Trips - Each Trip will show details on Days Used, Days Left, Date when you can reenter, and more... - Warns if a Trip includes an Overstay - Warns if you accidentally overlap Trips - No Ads!
