iReside and Days Monitor are both automatic, GPS-based residency day trackers. iReside leans into US tax-residency and a web dashboard; Days Monitor casts a wider international net including Schengen. Every claim about either below is a direct quotation from its own materials, linked and dated (checked 4 June 2026).
Positioning
iReside's pitch is residency-focused:
"Tracking Residency? Count on iReside."
— iReside website (accessed 4 June 2026)
Days Monitor's is broader:
"Days Monitor. The Most Complete Global Residency and Travel Day Tracker."
— Days Monitor, App Store (accessed 4 June 2026)
Where they overlap
Both track automatically and warn you before thresholds. iReside:
"Automatic background location tracking keeps an accurate count of days by location ... See 183-day (and other) tax residency thresholds coming with real-time warnings."
— iReside website (accessed 4 June 2026)
Both also export PDF reports: iReside offers "One-click PDF exports,"
and Days Monitor offers "Instant PDF and CSV Reports."
Where iReside is stronger
iReside has two clear advantages today. First, a web dashboard:
"Access your full iReside data from any browser, no phone required."
— iReside website (accessed 4 June 2026)
Days Monitor syncs across Apple devices via iCloud but does not advertise a browser dashboard. Second, iReside has a strong public track record: its App Store listing shows a 4.9-star rating from 34 ratings, where Days Monitor is new with none yet.
Where Days Monitor is stronger
iReside's materials centre on US tax residency and the 183-day test; they do not mention Schengen. Days Monitor adds Schengen 90/180 and custom rules for any country:
"Best-in-Class Schengen Tracking ... 90/180 Schengen rule ... US state statutory residency tests ... Canadian provincial residency."
— Days Monitor, App Store (accessed 4 June 2026)
It also logs multiple countries on the same day and can rebuild history from photos, features not described in iReside's listing.
