What Immio is
Immio counts your days abroad automatically and keeps you within tax residency, Schengen and visa limits. It logs the country you are in by GPS in the background, imports a spreadsheet of past travel, and draws a map of the countries you have visited.
How to choose
Start from where your days are spread and how you want them recorded. Residency rebuilds them from photos you already have, covers Schengen, visas, tax thresholds and citizenship, and checks a trip before you book it. The other apps here record by background location or by typing each trip in, and several centre on US states. Every app here counts days and none gives tax or legal advice, so check decisions with an adviser.
