The Schengen calculator for the 90/180 rule — days used, days left, and the exact day you need to leave. Flags reads your travel history from your photos, on this iPhone, nothing uploaded, and shows where you stand in seconds. Flags is the simplest, most private way to track your Schengen 90/180 days. Scan your photo library, and Flags builds your travel history from photo metadata. No accounts, no cloud, no sign-ups, no GPS tracking. Your data never leaves your iPhone. WHY FLAGS - 100% private — On-device only. No servers, no analytics, no third parties. - Auto-tracked from photos — Point Flags at your library, and your travel history fills itself in. - No GPS tracking — Ever. We don't ask for your location. - Accurate 90/180 math — The EU rolling-window rule, calculated correctly. - Fast, beautiful, simple — Open the app, see your status. That's it. FEATURES - Schengen 90/180 rolling-window calculator - Counts Monaco, San Marino, and Vatican City, the open-border microstates inside the Schengen Area - Over the limit? See the date you're back within 90 days if you leave today - Auto-import from photo library GPS metadata - Manual day entry for phone-less trips or gaps - Visual calendar of every day spent in Schengen - Trip planner: which months are open, whether a trip fits, and the earliest start that works (Pro) - Weekly reminders before you approach the 90-day limit (Pro) - iOS home screen widgets — see your days remaining at a glance (Pro) PLAN BY ASKING On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, the Plan tab becomes a conversation. Ask how long you can stay from a date, whether a trip fits, or when your days come back. Every number comes from the calculator on your phone, and nothing is sent anywhere. EES AND ETIAS READY The EU's Entry/Exit System (EES) is rolling out now: every border crossing is registered digitally, so an inaccurate day count is riskier than ever. Flags keeps your count exact, so there are no surprises at the border. When ETIAS launches, Flags tracks that too — one app, every rule, fully private. FREE TO TRACK, PRO TO PLAN Tracking is free for as long as you like: photo scan, manual entry, today's count, the calendar, and all your history. Pro unlocks the Plan tab, home-screen widgets, and weekly reminders. Choose a yearly auto-renewing subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. There is no free trial: the free tier is the trial. - Your exact price is shown inside the app before you buy. - Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours beforehand. - Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. - The lifetime plan is a single payment — no subscription, every Pro feature forever. - No ads.
