The only travel day tracker that combines automatic GPS tracking, calendar sync, AI document reading, and dual immigration + fiscal modes. 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. Nomad Tracker uses Apple's battery-efficient Significant Location Changes API to count your days in every country. No manual logging. No battery drain. 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. See if you qualify, estimate the tax you could save with Form 2555, and find your best qualifying period. DUAL MODE: IMMIGRATION + FISCAL The same trip means different things for your visa and your taxes. Switch between Immigration mode and Fiscal mode to see the same data two ways. No other app does this. CALENDAR SYNC Your calendar already knows where you go. Pick the calendars you want and every flight or booking turns into counted days, detected on your iPhone. You review the first import, then new trips arrive on their own. Read only: nothing there is ever changed. GHOST TRIPS: SIMULATE BEFORE YOU BOOK Plan future stays and see how they affect your Schengen runway, fiscal counters, and visa limits. Session-only simulations that never touch your real data. REBUILD YOUR PAST TRAVEL HISTORY Don't start from zero. Scan your photo library metadata to reconstruct years of travel history in seconds. PROOF CLASSIFIER Drop in boarding passes, stamps, and receipts. Country and date are read on your iPhone, every file lands on the day it belongs to, and days with proof get a badge in the calendar and in your PDF reports. US STATE TRACKING Track days per US state for state-level tax residency thresholds. Included free. SHARE YOUR WORLD MAP Everywhere you've been on an interactive map, shareable as a photo or video. YEAR IN REVIEW See your entire year as a heat-map grid, every day colored by the country you were in.
