Travel tracking apps usually fall into two categories: social travel maps or manual logging tools. DaysAround feels quite different from both.
The app quietly builds a record of where you’ve been by scanning the location metadata already stored in your iPhone photos. No check-ins, no spreadsheets, and no manually entering trips country by country.
Everything happens locally on-device, so your travel history never gets uploaded to external servers.
More than just a travel diary
At first glance, the product looks like a personal memory archive. You can revisit countries you’ve visited, resurface old trips, and see how your movement history has evolved over time.
But there’s also a more practical layer underneath.
DaysAround calculates things like:
- days spent in each country
- Schengen zone limits
- residency-related travel patterns
- visa warning thresholds
That makes it useful not only for travelers, but also for remote workers, expats, and people who regularly move between countries.
The privacy angle is a major part of the appeal too. Instead of turning travel history into another cloud-based social feed, the app keeps the entire experience local and personal.
