DaysHere

Features
Read full description

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.

About

BorderClock

Read full description

BorderClock keeps your travel history, passport context and visa-day planning together in one private place. SEE YOUR YEAR AT A GLANCE View the countries you visited and the number of days spent outside your home country. Every calendar date is counted once in the overall total, even when a border-transition date appears in two country stays. Switch between the last 365 days, the last 180 days, this year, all time or your own date range. CHECK VISA-DAY ALLOWANCES Choose a destination to see the policy for the passport you are using. BorderClock considers recorded trips, rolling stay windows such as the Schengen 90-in-180-day rule, passport validity and compatible visas, residence permits, permanent residence, ETA, ESTA or other authorisations you save. PLAN AND CORRECT TRIPS Add previous and future journeys, edit dates, delete incorrect entries, and merge nearby photo-created stays that belong to one trip. BUILD HISTORY FROM PHOTOS With your permission, BorderClock can scan capture dates and saved GPS metadata across your iPhone photo library to suggest location history. Processing happens on your device. Photo files are not copied or uploaded, and manual trip entry remains available without photo access. YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU No BorderClock account is required. The iOS app stores travel data locally, includes backup and restore, and contains no advertising or third-party tracking SDKs. Visa and entry rules depend on individual circumstances and can change. BorderClock is a planning aid, not legal advice or a guarantee of admission. Always check the linked official government source or contact the relevant immigration authority before travel.
