Summary
Nomad Tracker is an iOS app designed to help digital nomads and travelers automatically track days spent in different countries for tax residency and visa compliance purposes. The app runs on background GPS to monitor travel automatically and can also scan photo library metadata to reconstruct past travel history. It emphasizes privacy by keeping all location data on the user's device. The app was created by a solo developer who wanted to eliminate the need for manual spreadsheet tracking of travel days for legal requirements like the Schengen 90/180 rule.
