Live from anywhere. Track everywhere.
Digital nomads live in the gap between residency rules, and the gap is closing. Tax Days tracks Schengen 90/180, 183-day rules in 30+ countries, the US Substantial Presence Test, and the UK SRT on your iPhone. Add a trip in 5 seconds; every applicable rule updates in real time.
What you're up against
Schengen 90/180 is a rolling window, not a fixed year
Most apps treat Schengen as 'days this year.' It's not, it's a rolling 180-day window that moves with you every day. Get it wrong and you're an overstay.
Multiple countries can claim you simultaneously
Spend 5 months in Portugal, 4 in Spain, 3 in Mexico, and any one of them might claim you as a tax resident if you set up a habitual residence.
Tax residency ≠ visa status
You can be in compliance with every immigration rule and still trigger accidental tax residency. The two systems use different definitions and different thresholds.
Reconstruction won't survive an audit
When a tax authority asks where you were on March 14th, 'Probably Berlin?' isn't an answer. They want a contemporaneous record.
What Tax Days does for you
Tracks Schengen 90/180 with a true rolling-window calculation, projects your exhaustion date and earliest re-entry.

Runs the US Substantial Presence Test (3-year weighted) and the UK Statutory Residence Test in real time.
Notifies you 30, 14, 7, 3, and 1 days before you'd cross any threshold, so you can leave with margin.
Exports an audit-ready PDF per jurisdiction, with day count, trip log, and rule evaluations.
Stays on your iPhone. No servers, no accounts, no logs. Optional iCloud sync via Apple's encrypted CloudKit.
The rules you actually need to track
Schengen 90/180
Non-EU citizens can spend at most 90 days in any 180-day period. Rolling, not annual.
Read the guide →183-day rules across 200+ countries
Most countries trigger residency at 183 days. Each defines a 'day' differently.
Read the guide →Portugal NHR / IFICI
Portugal closed NHR to new applicants but the IFICI successor and habitual residence rule still matter.
Read the guide →UAE 90/183-day residency
0% personal income tax, but you need to qualify as a tax resident under the 90 or 183-day tests.
Read the guide →US Substantial Presence Test
If you visit the US, the 3-year weighted formula can trigger US tax residency on worldwide income.
Read the guide →UK Statutory Residence Test
Day-and-tie test on the UK tax year (6 April – 5 April). Catches Americans and EU citizens visiting frequently.

Common questions
Can I be a tax resident of nowhere?
It's harder than it sounds. Leaving your old country's residency often requires meeting its exit conditions, and every country you pass through has its own trigger rules: day counts, habitual abode, or center-of-life tests. Many nomads who think they're residents of nowhere are actually still residents of their home country by default.
Is the Schengen 90/180 limit a tax rule?
No, it's an immigration limit, and it's separate from tax residency. You can respect 90/180 perfectly and still trip a country's 183-day tax rule across two windows, or become resident through a home base. Track both dimensions separately.
Do visas decide where I pay tax?
Generally no. Visas control your right to be in a country; tax residency is decided by that country's own tests, usually day counts and ties. A digital-nomad visa can even come with a special tax status, but that's set by the tax rules, not the visa sticker itself.
Which rules should a nomad actually track?
At minimum: the day-count rule of every country where you spend serious time, Schengen 90/180 if you're a non-EU citizen in Europe, and your home country's exit or return rules (for Americans, the federal rules follow you everywhere). The multi-country day counter and the Tax Days app run these at the same time.
