Nice execution. The local-first approach is a smart call for this kind of data — most people won't trust a cloud service with their exact location history across countries.
One nuance I've run into working in this space: the 183-day rule gets treated as universal, but the reality is messier. Some countries count partial days, others don't. Some have "center of vital interests" tie-breakers that override day counts entirely. And for US citizens, the day count is almost irrelevant — worldwide taxation applies regardless of where you sleep.
The Schengen rolling window is genuinely confusing for people and a strong feature to nail. Curious how you handle the edge cases where someone holds a residence permit in one Schengen country but travels freely across others — the 90/180 rule doesn't apply the same way in that scenario.
Thank you for the feedback and your time. Absolutely, the days count is kind of controversial. It is more a bunch of criteria you have to fulfill.
I didn't know that about US citizens . I received some feedback to include US states, and maybe I might add it, but I don't know if the effort makes sense.
About Schengen; wow, this is a really good question. I didn't know about this edge case, I'm going to prepare it for the next release.
If you have more feedback please send an email to hello@thenomadtracker.com, I'm very open to hearing this kind of feedback or ideas!

Congrats on the launch.
