DaysAround

Track every country you've ever been to. Privately.

Build a secure, on-device timeline of your travels — across borders, without GPS or cloud. DaysAround is your privacy-first country tracker.

The Thesis

Your camera roll already knows every country you've been to. Every border crossing. Every hotel. Every market you wandered through at midnight.

It just never told you.

Most founders who travel globally are sitting on two problems they don't think about until it's expensive.

The first is memory. Trips blur. Countries merge. The place that changed how you think becomes a vague recollection two years later.

The second is compliance. The 183-day rule. Schengen 90/180 limits. Visa overstays. Your accountant will ask. Immigration will ask. You won't have the answer.

Both problems are already solved. You just haven't scanned your photos yet.

DaysAround reads your camera roll locally on your iPhone. No upload. No cloud. No account. It builds your travel timeline automatically — every country, every trip, every day.

Beautiful enough to revisit. Accurate enough to show your accountant.

The countries that shaped you. Resurfaced. The days that count for tax residency. Calculated. The Schengen limit you're approaching. Flagged before it's a problem.

Your map won't show you how far you've come. It'll show you how much you have left to explore.

FAQ

How does DaysAround scan my photos without uploading them?+
DaysAround uses on-device machine learning to read EXIF metadata locally. Your photos never leave your iPhone, and no data is ever sent to a server or the cloud.
Do I need to create an account to use the app?+
There are no logins, no email sign-ups, and no tracking. Your data is stored exclusively in your phone's secure enclave.
What happens to my data if I delete the app?+
Since we don't store your data on our servers, once you delete the app, the data is gone from your device. But you can rescan your photos in seconds if you install again.
Does DaysAround help with the Schengen 90/180 day rule?+
The app automatically calculates your rolling 180-day window based on your photo history and manual entries, flagging when you are approaching the 90-day limit.
How accurate is the "backfilling" of my travel history?+
It is as accurate as your photo metadata. If you took a photo in a country, the app will pinpoint the entry and exit dates. You can manually bridge any gaps where photos weren't taken.
How is DaysAround different from "Been" or other travel maps?+
Unlike "Been" or "Google Maps Timeline," DaysAround requires zero GPS tracking and zero account creation. It focuses on privacy-first automation via your existing photo library rather than manual input or constant location pings.
Does the app drain my battery with GPS tracking?+
No. DaysAround does not use background GPS tracking. It only processes information when you open the app to sync your latest photos.
Does DaysAround count days for the '183-day rule'?+
Yes. DaysAround provides a running tally of days spent in each country per calendar year. This is essential for US citizens qualifying for the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) or anyone tracking their 183-day limit to avoid becoming a tax resident in a new country.
Does the app use third-party analytics or 'Reverse Geocoding' APIs?+
No. Unlike other trackers that send your GPS coordinates to external servers to 'look up' the country, DaysAround performs all geocoding locally on your device. Your coordinates never leave your phone, and we use zero third-party tracking SDKs.
