Hi HN,

I’m full stack developer (formerly iOS) and I just launched Nomad Tracker, a native iOS app to help digital nomads track physical presence across countries for visa limits and tax residency.

Key idea: everything runs on-device. No accounts, no cloud sync, no analytics.

Features:

- Calendar-based day tracking per country. - Schengen 90/180 and other visa “runways”. - Fiscal residency day counts and alerts. - Optional background location logging (battery-efficient, never overwrites manual data). - Photo import using metadata only (no image access). - On-device “Fiscal Oracle” using Apple’s Foundational Models to ask questions about your own data.

I created this because other apps felt limiting and didn’t do what I needed. This app is visual, user-focused, and designed to make tracking easy and clear.

Happy to answer questions or discuss the technical tradeoffs.
