Day-count tracking for tax residency

Proof of where you were, every single day.

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.

Why it matters

In an audit, the burden of proof is on you.

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.

How it works

Track in the background. Watch your thresholds. Export the proof.

1

It tracks while you live

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.

2

You watch the line

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.

3

You export the proof

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.

What you get

Everything a clean day-count needs.

Automatic tracking

Passive background location resolves your day for you. Nothing to remember, no daily ritual to keep up.

Manual check-in

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.

Threshold alerts

Warning bands at 75%, 90%, and 100% of any threshold, so you hear about the line well before you cross it.

Live day counts

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.

Audit-ready report

A formatted, timestamped PDF with methodology notes and the signal trail behind every day. The export built to hold up in an audit.

Private by design

We store city, state, and country only, never your precise address. Your location history stays coarse and yours.

Bring your history

Switching over? Don't start from zero.

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.

  • Drop in a spreadsheet. Upload an .xlsx or .csv with a date, a location, and an optional note. One row per day.
  • Use the ready-made template. Fill it in and upload it, and we resolve each place to its state and country for you.
  • Review before anything saves. A verified preview shows exactly what will import, with any bad rows flagged.
  • No duplicates. Imports never collide with days you already have.
Privacy

Enough to prove it. Not enough to track you.

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.

Free to track. Pay only for the proof.

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.

Stop guessing your days.
