If you split your time across states or countries, the tax man counts your days. DayStayed tracks where you are automatically and turns it into an audit-ready log your CPA can stand behind.
The iPhone app resolves each day in the background and keeps your counts current, so you always know where you stand without lifting a finger.



The same account on the web, where you review your full history, fine-tune jurisdictions, and pull the audit-ready report at tax time.
States tax you partly on physical presence. Cross the wrong threshold and a high-tax state can claim you as a resident. Memory, calendars, and credit-card receipts are weak evidence. A timestamped daily log is strong evidence.
The app resolves each day to a single jurisdiction from your phone in the background, or check in by hand. Every day gets one clear answer for where you were.
See your running day count against each threshold, with days remaining and alerts before you cross. No more guessing how close you are to becoming a resident.
One tap produces a clean, dated log of days by state and country, plus the audit report your accountant can hand to a state examiner.
Passive background location resolves your day for you. Nothing to remember, no daily ritual to keep up.
Pick a day and a place, or back-fill a whole trip at once. Your manual entry always wins and stays flagged as a manual day.
Warning bands at 75%, 90%, and 100% of any threshold, so you hear about the line well before you cross it.
A dashboard of days per state and country for the year, ranked, with a recent-activity feed and gap flags that surface any missing days.
A formatted, timestamped PDF with methodology notes and the signal trail behind every day. The export built to hold up in an audit.
We store city, state, and country only, never your precise address. Your location history stays coarse and yours.
Years of days already logged in a spreadsheet, or trapped in another app? Import them in one pass so your record is complete from day one, not just from the day you signed up.

The whole point is evidence, not surveillance. DayStayed keeps the smallest amount of location data that still answers the only question that matters: which jurisdiction were you in that day.
Tracking, dashboards, and threshold alerts are free, forever. The value of a day log depends on it running all year, so we never paywall the part that keeps your record complete.
When tax season or an audit arrives, upgrade to Pro for the audit-ready PDF, multi-year history, and email alerts. The export you actually need, exactly when you need it.
No card to start. Pro is an annual subscription with a 7-day free trial.
