Stint

Every day counted

Stint keeps a day by day record of which country you were in, and measures it against the limits that actually bite: Schengen, a tax year, a visa, a residency minimum.

The Today screen: a ring showing 74 of 90 Schengen days used, and the date you have to leave by

What it counts

Six ways a country counts your days

They are genuinely different rules, not one rule with different numbers. Run as many at once as you need: a Schengen count and a tax year count are different questions, and the answer to one tells you nothing about the other.

If you only want to check one trip against the 90/180 rule right now, there is a free Schengen calculator on this site that does it in the browser.

Schengen 90/180

A real rolling window that sheds old days as they age, not a counter that resets on a date.

The 183 day tax year

In any country, on the calendar year or on a tax year of its own, like the UK's April to April.

The UK midnight test

A day only counts if you were in the country at midnight, which is a different total from the same trip.

US substantial presence

This year in full, last year at a third, the one before at a sixth, weighted across the three.

A visa or a permit

A fixed number of days between two fixed dates, for the stamp you actually hold.

A residency minimum

Days you have to reach, not avoid. Here the risk is running out of calendar rather than overstaying.

Nothing is a running total

Every number opens up

Each figure is recomputed from the day ledger every time you look at it. Tap it and you get the exact days behind it, month by month, and where each one came from.

  • The last safe day, so you know the date to leave by, not just the count.
  • Days you have pencilled in shown ahead of the solid arc, before they cost you anything.
  • The source of every day: the tracker, an import, a photo, or your own hand.

The tracker

It fills the gaps, it does not guess them

Stint reads significant location changes and visits in the background, and turns each one into a country. It runs on the low power side of the system, so it is not the app draining your battery.

  • Between two sightings of the same country, the days in between are filled in. You did not leave and come back unnoticed.
  • Between two different countries, nothing is invented. Those days go into a short queue for you to confirm, and stay out of the count until you do.
  • Years you never tracked can be rebuilt from your photos, or imported as CSV.

The rest of it

History you can read, and correct

Price

One payment, and it is yours

Privacy policy

Your days stay on your phone

Last updated 30 August 2026.

Stint has no account and no advertising. Your day ledger lives on your iPhone, and, if you turn on sync, in your own private iCloud. Nothing about where you have been is ever sent to us.

Location

With your permission, Stint reads significant location changes and visits, and turns each one into a country. This happens on your device and the result is stored on your device.

To turn a coordinate into a country name, Stint asks Apple's map service, so that coordinate is sent to Apple and handled under Apple's privacy policy. Answers are cached, so a stay in one place is usually a single lookup. Nothing else receives your location.

Photos

If you use the photo import, Stint reads the date and coordinates stored in your photos to reconstruct where you were. This runs on your device. Your photos are not uploaded, copied or kept.

iCloud sync

Sync uses your own private iCloud database, through Apple's CloudKit. It is your Apple Account, not ours: we cannot read it, and neither can anyone else you have not shared your Apple Account with. Turning sync off leaves the copy on your device untouched.

Usage

Stint reports how the app is used, so we can tell which parts of it work: a screen being opened, a permission being granted or refused, an import finishing, a purchase going through or failing. These reports go to Logga, our own service, under a random identifier that this app creates on your phone. It is not your Apple Account, it is not the advertising identifier, and it is not linked to your name.

What these reports never contain: a country, a coordinate, a date you travelled, a photo, or anything from your ledger. Where a number would be revealing, it is sent as a band rather than a value, so a report can say that days have been recorded without saying how many or which.

Purchases

The purchase is made through the App Store. Apple handles the payment, and we never see your card, your name or your address. To check that the purchase is valid and to restore it on your other devices, the transaction is verified by RevenueCat, our purchase provider, which receives the anonymous identifier of that transaction and nothing that identifies you.

What we do not do

Your data, and getting rid of it

Everything is yours: export it as CSV or PDF at any time. Settings has a control that erases the whole ledger, and deleting the app removes the copy on that device. If you used iCloud sync, turning it off and deleting the app on every device removes it from your iCloud too.

Children

Stint is not aimed at children and collects nothing that identifies anyone.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the date above changes with it. Questions, or a request about your data: [email protected].
