Show HN: Nomad Tracker – a local-first iOS app to track visas and tax residency

Hi HN,

I’m full stack developer (formerly iOS) and I just launched Nomad Tracker, a native iOS app to help digital nomads track physical presence across countries for visa limits and tax residency.

Key idea: everything runs on-device. No accounts, no cloud sync, no analytics.

Features:

- Calendar-based day tracking per country. - Schengen 90/180 and other visa “runways”. - Fiscal residency day counts and alerts. - Optional background location logging (battery-efficient, never overwrites manual data). - Photo import using metadata only (no image access). - On-device “Fiscal Oracle” using Apple’s Foundational Models to ask questions about your own data.

I created this because other apps felt limiting and didn’t do what I needed. This app is visual, user-focused, and designed to make tracking easy and clear.

Happy to answer questions or discuss the technical tradeoffs.

Summary
NomadTracker is a web application that helps digital nomads track and manage their location, expenses, and other aspects of their lifestyle while traveling. The app provides features such as expense tracking, location logging, and remote work tools to assist nomads in organizing their finances and work routines.
