Read full description

Nomad Visa Tracker is the simplest way to monitor your stays abroad and stay compliant with Schengen 90/180 rules, tourist visa limits, and long-term travel planning. Built for digital nomads, frequent travelers, expats, and anyone juggling multiple passports or visas. Everything runs on your device — no accounts, no cloud, no tracking. KEY FEATURES • Schengen 90/180 calculator See exactly how many days you've used in any rolling 180-day window, how many you have left, and when your quota resets. • Automatic trip detection Grant background location access and the app logs your entries and exits for you. Opt in once, forget about it. • Import trips from your photo library Rebuild your entire travel history in seconds. Only GPS + date metadata is read — never the images themselves. • Boarding pass scanner Point your camera at a boarding pass barcode or QR code. IATA data is parsed locally and the trip is added automatically. • Interactive world map Visualize every country you've visited, color-coded by days spent. • Timeline & statistics Browse your trips chronologically. Analyze time abroad with charts: by year, by country, monthly heatmap. • Future trip simulator Plan a trip before you book it. The app tells you if it fits inside your Schengen window. • Document vault Store visas, passports, residence permits with expiry dates. Get local notifications before they expire. • Smart alerts Local notifications at 75, 83, and 88 days used — so you always know when you're approaching the limit. • Full data export Export everything as JSON, CSV, or a beautifully formatted PDF report.
