Processing.ie

Waiting on an Irish visa, work permit, or IRP renewal? Processing.ie estimates WHEN your application is likely to be processed — a date, not an approval outcome — and shows the historical data behind that estimate. The Irish authorities publish only one line per category: the date they are "currently processing". That tells you nothing about when YOUR application — filed on a different day — will come up. Processing.ie fills that gap. How it works: The app reads the daily progress snapshots published by Irish immigration authorities and fits a linear regression to that history, projecting when your own application date is likely to reach the front of the queue — shown as both a calendar date and a countdown. Your date is plotted on a scatter chart of every published snapshot, on the fitted trend line, so you can see exactly where your case sits. This estimates a processing DATE. It does not predict whether your visa or permit will be approved. Covers three official sources: • Visa decisions (Dublin) — applications and appeals • Employment permits — all sub-categories • IRP renewals (Burgh Quay registrations) What you get: • A per-applicant result, status-coloured: green once your date has arrived, amber while you're still waiting • Historical scatter plot of past "currently processing" snapshots, the fitted regression trend, and your application's position on it • Interactive "Explore history" time-slider that refits the trend on the snapshots known up to any earlier day — so you can watch how the estimate for your date settled as more data arrived • In-app "How it works" guide on where the data comes from, how the regression works, and how to read the chart, with links to the three official sources • Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets showing the queue-head date or your personal countdown • Ask Siri, use Shortcuts or Spotlight, or set the Action Button to check your estimate hands-free — without opening the app • Works offline with the last downloaded copy • Light and dark mode, with full Dynamic Type support • English (en-IE) Premium (optional, one-time $0.99 purchase): • Personal "N days to go" countdown on widgets, derived from your application date • Processing-date alerts: notifications as your estimated date approaches — set one or more reminders (e.g. 30 and 7 days before), at a time you choose • Removes the banner ad from the main screen Your form selections (chosen source, category, type, application date) are stored on your device and are not transmitted off the device. Disclaimer: this is an unofficial estimator. Estimates are statistical projections from publicly published progress and are not affiliated with Irish immigration authorities. Actual processing times vary case-by-case — always confirm against the original source page (the result card links to it). Privacy policy: https://processing.ie/privacy/ios/

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Selfcare Link3 at none against Processing.ie's 1. Selfcare Link3 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Processing.ie's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 days). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
