Know how many days you have spent in every country — and how many you have left. Expatly is a day counter for people who live between countries: travelers, expats, digital nomads and anyone whose visa, residence permit or tax status depends on dates. WHEN DAYS MATTER • Schengen 90/180 — see the days you have used and the days still available. The EU Entry/Exit System now records every border crossing, so an overstay no longer goes unnoticed. • The 183-day rule — watch the threshold many countries use for tax residency. • U.S. day counts — the Substantial Presence Test, the 330-day Physical Presence Test for Americans abroad, time outside the country for green card holders. • Tourist and visa stays of 30, 60, 90 or 180 days — count any rolling period you need. • Travel history for forms — visa, residence and citizenship applications ask where you were and when. Keep the dates ready. HOW IT WORKS • Check in within seconds: pick a country and a day or a date range. • Automatic check-ins: Expatly detects the country you are in, even in the background. • Trips from your photos: rebuild years of travel history from photo locations, processed on your device. • Schengen calculator: single, double and multiple-entry visas or visa-free travel. Add future trips and see whether they fit. • Any period: last 30, 90, 183 or 365 days, this year, or your own range. • Calendar, map and statistics for every country. • Home Screen widgets and daily reminders. • Export your history to CSV or JSON. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account needed. Your check-ins, dates and stays are stored on your device — Expatly does not collect or upload them. Location, if you allow it, is used only to detect your current country. Expatly keeps your records; it does not give legal or tax advice. Rules depend on the country and on your situation — confirm them with the authorities or an adviser. Expatly Pro unlocks photo check-ins, automatic background check-ins, extended and custom periods, and CSV export.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Nomadlog at none against Expatly's 5. Nomadlog also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
