Diego is the day counter for people who live across borders. It turns your trips into the numbers tax offices and border guards actually count, and warns you before you cross a line.

Who it's for

For anyone whose tax home depends on a calendar.

Expats & digital nomads

Living across borders, a few months at a time. See every country's count at a glance and stay out of accidental tax residency.

Cross-border tax residents

Keeping a status, or leaving one behind. Track the 183-day rule, your home country and twelve national tests side by side.

Frequent travelers

Schengen's rolling 90/180 window counted for you, with the date your next day frees up. Free on every plan.

Movers between US states

Left New York for Florida? Track statutory residency for the state and city you left, and your domicile, day by day.

Residency

One tracker for every rule that counts: 183 days, US presence, Schengen, states, cities and twelve national tests.

Switch between rules and Diego recounts instantly. Pin the ones that matter to your Home screen.

Count your days 3 ways

Turn on automatic counting and Diego notes which country, state and city you're in each day, using low-power location changes at about a kilometer's accuracy. No GPS trail, nothing leaves your phone.

Prefer to keep it manual? Log any trip with a country, optional US state and city, and dates. Diego recounts every rule instantly.

Add trips you haven't taken yet and switch on Include Upcoming Trips to see where next year's plans leave you, before you book.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Something else? Get in touch.

How is Diego different from a simple day counter?

A tally of days isn't enough: each rule counts differently. Schengen uses a rolling 180-day window, the US Substantial Presence Test weights three years, US states and cities have their own statutory tests, and some countries look at continuous stays. Diego applies each rule to your trips and shows how many safe days you have left and the date you would cross.

Does Diego track my location automatically?

Only if you turn on automatic counting. Diego then uses iOS's low-power significant-change and visit monitoring, at about a kilometer's accuracy, to work out which country, US state and city each day counts toward. It is off until you switch it on, and you can log every trip by hand instead.

Why does automatic counting need "Always" location access?

iOS only tells an app about location changes in the background when it has Always access. Diego uses that to notice when you cross a border without you opening the app. It never runs continuous GPS.

Can you see where I am?

No. Diego has no servers and no accounts. To turn coordinates into a place name it uses Apple's geocoder; the result is stored on your iPhone and nowhere else.

Can I add trips from before I installed Diego?

Yes. Add any past trip with its dates and Diego counts it toward every rule, including the US Substantial Presence Test, which looks back two years.

Can I export a record for my accountant?

Yes. On Nomad and above you can export a PDF report, a CSV and a calendar (.ics) file. A plain-text summary is free on every plan.

Does Diego count days or nights?

Your choice. Days counts both the day you arrive and the day you leave; nights doesn't. Different rules and advisers use different conventions, so the switch is on every residency screen.

Can I plan future trips?

Yes. Add upcoming trips and switch on Include Upcoming Trips to see where your plans leave you before you book.

Where is my data stored?

In the app, on your iPhone. If you back up your iPhone to iCloud or a computer, the backup includes Diego's data under your own settings. Deleting the app, or Reset App in Profile, removes it.

What happens if I change plan?

Your trips are never deleted. Moving to a smaller plan unpins trackers it can't hold; upgrade again and you can pin them back.

Is there an Android version?

Not yet. Diego is for iPhone.

Is Diego tax advice?

No. Diego gives estimates based on the trips you record and published day-count rules. Rules have exceptions and tie-breakers it can't capture, so check important decisions with a qualified professional.
