Day-counting risk

One missed day can become a border, tax, or records problem.

Spreadsheets work until they do not. Entry days, exit days, layovers, overnight crossings, and rolling Schengen windows are exactly where manual records drift.

Schengen 90/180

You get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window across 29 countries combined. The window moves every day, and overstays can mean fines, removal, or a multi-year Schengen entry ban.

183-day tax rules

Most countries start asking tax-residency questions once you spend 183 days there. Some use lower tie-based tests.

Forgotten travel days

Entry days, exit days, layovers, and overnight border crossings are exactly where manual spreadsheets drift.

Audit records

Border and tax authorities use their records. DaysAbroad gives you your own country-by-country timeline.

How it works

One permission. Then it runs itself.

Most people finish setup before their next flight boards.

  1. 01

    Let your phone count.

    Grant one location permission. DaysAbroad logs the country for each day using battery-friendly significant-location updates — no continuous GPS.

  2. 02

    Watch the number that matters.

    Days per country, Schengen days used, and the date a limit starts to bite.

  3. 03

    Fix edge cases in two taps.

    Open any country, scan the month view, and correct a missed layover or border day.

  4. 04

    Export when someone asks.

    CSV and JSON, ready for accountants, visa paperwork, or your own archive.

The app

Built like an instrument, not a diary.

Numbers first, warnings early, and a record you can hand to anyone who asks.

FAQ

The questions everyone asks first.

Does DaysAbroad drain my battery?
No. DaysAbroad uses iOS significant-location monitoring rather than continuous GPS. The phone wakes it only when location meaningfully changes.
Is my travel history sent to DaysAbroad?
No. Travel data stays on your device. Optional iCloud backup goes to your Apple account, not to DaysAbroad servers. For privacy-rights requests under GDPR, CCPA, or similar laws, email support@zebralabs.org.
How much does it cost?
DaysAbroad is free for two countries with manual entry. Pro — unlimited countries, automatic tracking, alerts, and export — is $23.99/year after a 14-day free trial.
Can I export my history?
Yes. Pro includes CSV and JSON export from Settings → Data. The files are plain text, so accountants, visa paperwork, Excel, Numbers, or your own archive can read them.
What if I forget my phone or it dies?
DaysAbroad cannot log a border crossing while the phone is off, out of battery, or left behind. You can manually add or correct days afterward from passport stamps, boarding passes, or calendar records.
Does DaysAbroad give tax or immigration advice?
No. DaysAbroad counts days and explains common rules; it is not legal, tax, or immigration advice. Your decisions still belong with official sources and qualified advisors.
