Know how many days you have left before a rule kicks in.
Sojournal keeps a record of which country or state you were in each day, counts it against the rules that apply to you, and shows the math behind every number. It's made for snowbirds, people with a second home, expats and anyone watching the Schengen 90/180 limit or a 183-day rule.
No location permission, no account, no subscription. Your record stays on your phone.
TODAY IN ONE TAP
• Check in with one tap: "I'm in Florida", from the last place you logged
• Log a whole season in two taps: Florida, Nov 3 to Apr 10
• Each rule shows days used, days left and the last safe day to leave
• Days you didn't log show as "Not recorded". Sojournal never fills them in with a guess.
• A record health card points out the gaps
NUMBERS YOU CAN CHECK
• Tap any count for the day-by-day breakdown: which window, which days counted and why, and the next date the number changes
• Each rule links to its official source and says plainly what it doesn't model
• Rules are versioned, and every report names the version it used
• Every change goes into an edit history that can't be rewritten, so a day logged at the time is told apart from one added later
• One day can hold several places, with transit, medical, at-sea and in-flight flags
• Days are calendar dates, so time zones and daylight saving can't move them
BUILT-IN RULES
• Schengen 90/180, with membership by date, visa validity checks and the residence permit exception
• US Substantial Presence Test (this year, plus 1/3 of last year and 1/6 of the year before), with a Form 8840 reminder
• State residency day tests: New York (any part of a day), California, Massachusetts, Minnesota
• UK Statutory Residence Test day counts: midnights, automatic tests, ties and deeming
• Canada's 183-day rule, and Ontario's 153 days for provincial health coverage
• 183-day rules for Spain, Portugal and Italy, and the six-month rule in Türkiye
• Your own rule (Pro): any places, calendar or tax year, rolling 180 days or any 12 months, at most or at least so many days
PLAN AHEAD
• Planned trips show on the calendar and are checked against your rules
• "Try a date" on a rule: pick when you arrive and how long you stay, and see if it fits
• "Show at the border": one big number, Schengen days used in the last 180, for passport control
• Local reminders for check-in, rule warnings, Form 8840, the UK tax year end, and the year-end pack in January
PROOF FOR YOUR ACCOUNTANT (PRO)
• Attach photos and PDFs to a day. Each file gets a SHA-256 fingerprint, listed in the pack.
• Accountant pack: one PDF with every day, its source and proof, a summary by rule, the method and an evidence index
• Suggestions from photos you pick: where and when each one was taken, read on your phone. Only camera photos count, screenshots are skipped, and nothing is saved until you confirm.
