Traveling to Europe? Stop worrying about the complex 90/180 day rule and enjoy your trip! SchengenTracker is the ultimate tool for digital nomads, frequent business travelers, expats, and tourists who need to keep track of their days in the Schengen Area. We turn the confusing "rolling window" calculation into a simple, visual, and error-free experience. Border control systems are getting smarter with the new Entry/Exit System (EES). Manual counting or using spreadsheets is no longer safe. You need a precision tool that thinks like a border officer. Here's the specs: 1. Accurate 90/180 Calculation Our core engine implements the official Schengen calculation rules. It automatically handles the "rolling window," meaning your "days used" change every single day. See exactly how many days you have remaining today, tomorrow, or next month. 2. Smart Trip Planning & Simulation Planning a summer vacation or a winter getaway? Use our powerful Simulation Mode. Enter your potential dates, and the app will instantly tell you: "Safe to travel" or "Risk of overstay". Visualize your future allowance with interactive projection charts that show you exactly when new days will be "freed up" from past trips. 3. Manage Multiple Profiles Traveling with family or managing visas for a team? Create unlimited profiles for your spouse, children, or colleagues. Each profile has its own trip history, visa settings, and calculations. Switch between them with a single tap. 4. Visa Expiry Tracking Never let your visa expire unnoticed. Input your visa validity dates (From/To) and get clear visual warnings when your visa is about to expire or when you are running low on days. 5. Ready for the Future (EES) The EU is launching the Entry/Exit System (EES), replacing passport stamps with digital biometric data. Our dedicated EES Guide educates you on what to expect at the border, how biometric registration works, and what the new rules mean for you. 6. Privacy First & Secure Your travel data is personal. SchengenTracker is designed with privacy at its core. All data stays on your device and syncs securely via your private iCloud account. We do not have access to your trips, passport details, or personal information. Who is this app for? Digital Nomads: Staying in Europe for long periods? Maximize your stay without breaking the law. Property Owners: Have a holiday home in Spain, France, or Greece? Plan your visits perfectly throughout the year. Business Travelers: Ensure your frequent short trips don't accidentally add up to an overstay. Tourists: Planning a "Grand Tour" of Europe? Make sure your itinerary fits the 90-day limit. Don't leave your travel status to chance. Violating the Schengen rules can lead to fines, deportation, and bans from re-entering Europe.
