SpyglassBeacon

About this app

Don't accidentally become a tax resident of a state you thought you left. SpyglassBeacon automatically counts how many days you spend in each U.S. state, warns you before you cross a residency threshold, and exports the day-by-day record an auditor asks for — using the "any part of a day counts" standard residency audits actually turn on. HOW IT WORKS • Grant location once. Beacon counts your days automatically in the background, using motion-aware tracking that typically costs under 1% of your battery a day. • See your day count per state against the 183-day line, with a warning as you get close. • Export a per-state summary with a day-by-day appendix as a PDF, ready for your accountant. BUILT FOR • Snowbirds and state movers avoiding statutory residency • People relocating to Florida, Texas, or Puerto Rico who need to prove their days • Remote workers and anyone facing a residency audit PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your location history stays on your device. There is no account and no cloud copy. The only thing that ever leaves your phone is a report you choose to share. SpyglassBeacon is an informational tool, not tax or legal advice. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Beacon now warns you everywhere it counts. - Alerts when you approach a line: nearing 183 in a state, or running low on Schengen days, Beacon tells you — even with the app closed. - Schengen forecast: the card now shows when you get a day back, or when an overstay ages out. - New clocks: the FEIE 330-day foreign-presence test for US expats, and Canada's 1,095-day citizenship presence count. - Clearer status line and upfront pricing on the welcome screen. Your location history still never leaves your device.

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
