Nomad Tracker counts the days you spend in every country automatically with GPS, then adds 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. 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. 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. AI-POWERED FISCAL ORACLE Ask questions about your tax situation in plain language and get personalized tax and visa insights.

About

DaysHere

Know exactly how many days you can stay — in every country you travel to. DaysHere counts your travel days country by country and tells you how many you have left: visa-free stays, the Schengen 90/180 rule, the UK's 180 days per visit, and calendar-year caps such as 183 days. No spreadsheets, no guesswork, no account. SEE YOUR REMAINING DAYS AT A GLANCE Every country you track shows the days you have left and the last day you can stay, under the rule that applies there. The number updates the moment you log a trip. EVERY KIND OF STAY LIMIT, BUILT IN • Fixed stay per entry — up to N days each time you enter, e.g. 30, 60, 90 or 180 days per visit. • Rolling window — a limit inside a moving window, like Schengen's 90 days in any 180. Group several countries under one shared allowance. • Calendar year limit — a cap between Jan 1 and Dec 31, e.g. 183 days per year. • Custom rule — your own day limit and period, for a country that does something different. • No limit — for home and anywhere you have free movement, so those days are simply counted. RULES SUGGESTED FOR YOUR PASSPORT Add a country and DaysHere shows the rule it knows for your passport there — what it allows and where that comes from — for you to check before it becomes your rule. PLAN A TRIP BEFORE YOU BOOK Enter the dates you have in mind and DaysHere tells you whether the trip fits, and how much of your allowance would be left. NEVER LOSE A TRIP YOU FORGOT TO LOG Turn on background tracking and DaysHere checks which country you are in about once a day, even while the app is closed. Anything that does not match what you have recorded comes back as a question you can accept, reject or delete — nothing is added to your history until you save it. Only the country is kept, unless you also record your route, which stays on this device. The feature is off until you switch it on, and short trips can be missed. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. ALERTS BEFORE THE DEADLINE Local reminders at 30, 14, 7, 3 and 1 days before your limit — and on the day itself. Turn each one on or off. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN A widget puts the number where you already look: the country you are in, the days you have left and the last day you can stay. It updates as your days count down, and on the Lock Screen it fits into a single circle or line. LOG TRIPS AND KEEP YOUR HISTORY Record entry and exit dates per country, including an ongoing stay with no exit date yet. Turn trips already in your calendar into stays with a tap. Review the whole history anytime, or take it with you as a CSV. A CALENDAR AND A GLOBE THAT MAKE IT OBVIOUS Stay days are color-coded by country on a month view, with your deadline day highlighted — and a globe replays your journeys, down to the route you took. YOUR TRAVEL HISTORY NEVER LEAVES YOUR PHONE No account, no cloud, no tracking, no ads. Your countries, stays and dates live on your device and nowhere else. Turning a location into a country name uses your iPhone's built-in geocoder; we never receive it, and we run no server of our own. Built for anyone splitting the year across borders — travelers, remote workers, digital nomads and anyone keeping an eye on how many days they spend in a country. DISCLAIMER DaysHere helps you count your travel days. It does not provide legal, immigration or tax advice, and a day count on its own does not decide your visa status or tax residency — those depend on rules that change and vary by nationality and circumstance. Always confirm with official government sources before you travel.
