Ships on the App Store as Nomad — Day Tracker
Nomad is a private, offline-first iOS app that helps digital nomads, expats, and frequent travellers stay compliant with visa and residency rules — most importantly the Schengen 90/180-day rule and per-country day limits.
No account, no backend, no networking, no analytics, no location tracking. Everything stays on your device.
See exactly where you stand the moment you open the app — your Schengen usage, risk level, and days by country for the year.
Log every trip once and let Nomad do the counting — past trips already count, upcoming ones don't yet.
Model a trip before you book it and see whether it keeps you compliant.
As a visa-free visitor you may spend at most 90 days inside the Schengen Area within any rolling 180-day window. There's no annual reset — on any given day, Nomad looks back over the previous 180 days and adds up how many of them you spent in Schengen.
Individual countries may also cap how long you can stay within a calendar year — often for tax-residency reasons (the well-known 183-day line) or under a long-stay visa. You set these limits yourself in Settings.
Nomad gives you estimates to plan with, not legal advice. Always confirm your situation with official sources or an immigration professional before making decisions.
Add each trip with its country and entry and exit dates, plus an optional note. Turn on “Planned” for a future trip you're holding a spot for — a live Schengen check appears as you edit.
Overview shows your Schengen ring for the rolling 180-day window, a colour-coded risk badge, days remaining, the next date it's safe to re-enter, and a day count for every country.
Use Planner to model a trip before booking it. See its projected impact on your 90 days, the earliest safe entry, and the longest you could stay from a given date — nothing is saved until you choose to.
In Settings, add a per-calendar-year cap for any country — 90, 120, 183, or 270 days, or a custom number. It then appears as a progress bar on Overview and in the Planner.
Turn your whole trip log into a CSV spreadsheet from Settings, generated on your device and shared however you like — handy for an accountant or immigration adviser.
The Schengen 90/180 rule: as a visa-free visitor you may spend at most 90 days inside the Schengen Area within any rolling 180-day window. "Rolling" is the tricky part — there's no annual reset. On any given day, look back over the previous 180 days: the days you spent in Schengen during that stretch must total 90 or fewer.
Per-country limits: separately, individual countries may cap how long you can stay in a calendar year — most often for tax-residency reasons (the well-known 183-day line) or under the terms of a long-stay visa. These are limits you set yourself in the app.

The Overview tab is your home base. It answers one question: am I okay right now?
Shows how many of your 90 days you've used inside the rolling 180-day window ending today. The number in the centre is days used; the arc fills as you approach the limit.
Under the ring, colour-codes your status based on days used:
Tells you how many more Schengen days you have right now.
Shows either "Now" (you're free to enter today) or a future date — the earliest day on which entering Schengen would be compliant, once enough older days have rolled out of the window.
Lists each country you've spent time in this calendar year, with a day count. If you've set a limit for a country in Settings, a small progress bar appears: green well under the cap, amber as you near it, red once you're over.
If you haven't added any trips yet, this screen shows a gentle prompt to get started.
The Trips tab is the source of truth. Every calculation in the app is built from the trips you record here.
The exit date can never be earlier than the entry date. If you move the entry date past the current exit date, the exit date moves with it automatically.
Trips are grouped by year, newest first. Each row shows the country flag, name, date range, and day count. Planned trips carry a "Planned" badge.
Changes flow through to the Overview and Planner immediately.
Free tier: you can log up to 10 trips for free. Removing the cap for unlimited history is part of Nomad Pro.
The Planner is a sandbox. Nothing here is saved until you choose to save it, so experiment freely.
For Schengen countries, you'll see:
For non-Schengen countries, a note reminds you the trip doesn't count toward the 90/180 limit.
For every country, a "Days in [country] · [year]" card shows your projected total for the calendar year, measured against any limit you've set — turning red if the plan would exceed it.
Happy with the scenario? Tap "Save as planned trip". It's added to your Trips list as a planned trip (editable later), and the planner resets so you can model the next leg.
Subset tip: if you've already planned, say, July 3–10 and then model July 3–7, the planner still reports the full 8-day impact — it knows the shorter trip sits inside one you've already planned, so it won't under-count.
Some countries cap your stay per calendar year. The Settings tab is where you record those caps so they show up across the app.
Custom country limits are a Nomad Pro feature. Without Pro, the section shows a locked Pro row that opens the upgrade screen.
Each country can have one limit. Adding a limit for a country you've already configured updates the existing one.
Once set, the limit appears as a progress bar on the Overview country list and as a projected / limit readout in the Planner.
A reminder of how the app handles your data: fully offline, no account, no servers, no tracking — and that it provides estimates, not legal advice.
Want a backup, or need to share your travel history with an accountant or immigration adviser? The Export section in Settings turns your whole trip log into a CSV spreadsheet.
The file is named NomadCompliance-Trips-YYYY-MM-DD.csv (dated for the day you export) and contains one row per trip with these columns:
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
Country Code | ISO country code, e.g. DE |
Country | Full country name |
Entry Date / Exit Date | YYYY-MM-DD, in UTC |
Days | Inclusive day count for the trip |
Type | Confirmed or Planned |
Note | Whatever you jotted on the trip |
Rows are ordered oldest-first. The file is generated on your device the moment you tap export — nothing is uploaded, and it only goes wherever you choose to send it.
The Export button only appears once you have at least one trip logged. CSV export is a Nomad Pro feature.
Core Schengen tracking and the planner are free — for up to 10 trips. Nomad Pro is a single one-time purchase that unlocks:
It's a one-time purchase — not a subscription. You pay once and it's yours forever.
Once the purchase completes, the paywall closes and everything unlocks immediately. Settings then shows Nomad Pro active.
Already bought Nomad Pro — on this device or another signed into the same Apple ID? Open the paywall and tap Restore purchases.
Payment is charged to your Apple ID at purchase. Because it's a one-time purchase, nothing renews — there's nothing to cancel. The app itself never sees your payment details.
Nomad Pro is handled entirely through Apple's In-App Purchase system. There's still no account and no server — your entitlement lives with your Apple ID, and your trip data never leaves the device.
Nomad Pro is a one-time in-app purchase handled by Apple, and the app never sees your payment details or your trip data. Read the full terms for the details.
