Built for digital nomads, expats, and frequent travelers who need to stay compliant with tax and visa rules across borders. AUTOMATIC DAY COUNTING Set it and forget it.

Accurate, private, on-device tracking with your phone in your pocket. SCHENGEN 90/180 CALCULATOR Track your rolling 90/180-day Schengen limit in real time and see how many days you have left. Exclude any Schengen country where you hold a residence permit. EES-ready: track your Schengen days before the new EU border system. 183-DAY TAX RESIDENCY MONITORING Monitor the 183-day rule country by country, with a custom fiscal year start: January 1st, April 6th (UK), July 1st (Australia), or your own. Get warned before you accidentally trigger tax residency. FEIE 330-DAY TRACKER (US EXPATS) US citizen or green card holder? Track the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion physical presence test in a rolling 12-month window.

If you live across borders, you already know: tax residency rules are a minefield. Which country considers you a resident? How many days can you stay before triggering a tax obligation? When does your visa actually expire? Jetseen answers all of this — automatically. Built for digital nomads, frequent travelers, expats, and global citizens managing life across multiple countries, Jetseen tracks your physical presence and calculates your tax residency status against 13 country-specific rules in real time. No spreadsheets. No guesswork. No compliance anxiety. — 13 BUILT-IN COUNTRY RULES — Jetseen understands the nuances of each country's tax residency formula: • Schengen Zone — 90/180 rolling window • United States — Substantial Presence Test (weighted 3-year formula) • United Kingdom — Statutory Residence Test (Apr 6 tax year) • UAE — 183-day rule with residence visa detection • Australia — Jul 1 financial year • India — Apr 1 financial year • Ireland — 183-day + 280-day two-year combined rule • Canada, Thailand, Singapore, Portugal — calendar year rules • Custom Rolling & Custom Calendar — for any country not listed Each tracker shows your day count, days remaining, and a clear status: safe, approaching, critical, or resident. — VISA TRACKING & EXPIRY ALERTS — Never let a visa expire without warning. Jetseen tracks your active visas with automatic alerts at 90, 30, and 7 days before expiry. If you're on an ongoing trip, it warns you when you're nearing your maximum stay limit. Color-coded urgency cards make it impossible to miss a deadline. — TRIP LOGGING WITH RICH DETAIL — Every trip is a record: country, dates, purpose, accommodation, transit type, entry documents, and travel notes. Attach photos of boarding passes, visa stamps, and receipts directly to trips. Browse your travel history on a chronological timeline, monthly calendar, or interactive world map that highlights every country you've visited. — YOUR TRAVEL DATA STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE — This is not negotiable. Jetseen is built on a local-first architecture for travel data. Trips, trackers, visas, citizenships, and document attachments stay on your device. Optional Apple/Google sign-in is used only for authentication, synced trial timing, and paid access. Jetseen uses limited first-party product analytics and sanitized reliability diagnostics to improve the app, but not advertising SDKs or cross-app tracking. Need to share data with your tax advisor? Export a filtered CSV report or create a full JSON backup — on your terms, when you choose. — EVERYTHING YOU NEED — • Real-time day counting for 13 tax residency rules • Custom rules for any jurisdiction • Visa management with smart expiry alerts • Interactive SVG world map with visited countries • Monthly calendar view with trip indicators • Chronological timeline grouped by year • Multi-citizenship and passport management • Trip document attachments (camera + photo library) • CSV reports with date range filtering • JSON backup and restore • Push notifications for approaching thresholds • Two tracking modes: stay under a limit or meet a minimum • Works completely offline — LIFETIME ACCESS — Start with a 14-day free trial. After your trial, get Lifetime Access with a one-time purchase. Payment is charged to your App Store account at confirmation of purchase. Lifetime Access does not auto-renew. If you reinstall or change devices, use "Restore Purchases" while signed into the same Jetseen account to re-check paid access.
