Select your photos, and we extract every country visit — filtering out in-flight photos, layovers, and noise. No manual entry. Just your journeys, tracked automatically in seconds. Built for nomads, expats, dual citizens, and anyone who travels enough to accidentally trigger tax residency or overstay a visa. TRACK TAX RESIDENCY ACROSS BORDERS The 183-day rule isn't the only rule. Residency tracks the IRS substantial presence test, tie-breaker treaties, and thresholds across the US, UK, Canada, EU, Australia, Singapore, UAE, and 50+ countries. Get alerts before you cross expensive lines. All calculations on-device. Works offline. You travel; we count the days. SCHENGEN & VISA CALCULATOR YOU CAN TRUST Track Schengen stays across rolling 180-day windows. Know exactly how many days you can visit, when you must leave, and when you can return. Supports visa rules for US (B1/B2, ESTA), UK (Standard Visitor, ILR), EU/Schengen (90/180 rule), and dozens more. PLAN TRIPS BEFORE YOU BOOK Will that Lisbon trip trigger Portuguese tax residency?
