SkyLog is a travel app that brings flight journaling and country stay-day tracking together in one place. FLIGHT JOURNAL • Add flight records manually without a subscription or usage limit. • Look up available flight details by flight number and travel date. • View all flight routes on an interactive 3D globe. • Record flight numbers, airlines, aircraft, airports, times, distance, and duration in one place. • Keep multiple flight legs with the same date and flight number as separate records. FOOTPRINTS, STAY DAYS & SCHENGEN • When enabled and permitted, Footprints can record visited countries and sampled cities automatically. • Review stay days by country and city in list and calendar views. • Import a Google Maps Timeline JSON file to add past country stay days and visited-city records to Footprints. Choose a date range and preview the records before importing. • Set an annual country goal or monitor Schengen days used and remaining under the 90/180-day rule. • Switch between the annual travel goal and Schengen status directly from the Footprints banner. • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets can show your current country, current journey, D-day from the start of your record, and Schengen days used and remaining. Schengen calculations are reference information based on your recorded stay days. They do not replace official immigration records or legal or visa advice. YOUR TRAVEL STORY • Create a personal travel passport from your flight routes and visited countries. • View statistics for flights, distance, flight time, airports, airlines, aircraft, and visited countries. • Earn achievements and badges. • Revisit years with recorded travel through Year Recap cards. • Back up and restore supported travel data through your SkyLog account and sync it across signed-in devices.
