About

Built for travelers who count.

DaysAbroad started because counting days by hand stopped working. Spreadsheets break. Calendars miss things. Border officials use their own records. And the 183-day rule doesn't care how busy you've been.

DaysAbroad is a small, privacy-first iOS app built by Zebra Labs — a solo studio run by Daniel Andrade. The app runs on your phone, tracks days per country in the background, and stores everything on-device. We don't run servers that hold your travel history. We can't sell what we never collect.

What this site is for

This site exists for two reasons. First, to help travelers who land here from Google with plain-language answers to the questions that catch people out — the 90/180 rule, the 183-day rule, what counts as a day. Second, to introduce the app to people who are already manually doing what it could do automatically.

What we won't do

  • Give legal, tax, or immigration advice. We're not lawyers and you shouldn't take rules from a website as gospel — always verify with primary sources and a qualified professional.
  • Collect data we don't need. The app needs your location to know which country you're in. It does not need your name, email, or birthday.
  • Move your data off your device unless you opt into iCloud backup. Your iCloud backup goes to your Apple account — not ours.
