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…

I have created a simple CLI tool to help me go through the codebase of my iOS apps and detect those 'required reason' APIs and SDKs that Apple now requires developers to disclose on a separate manifest file. I have also added the option to generate a simple Privacy Manifest file based on the findings and on the responses that the developer will give. Even though it's a bit too niche for HN, there maybe iOS devs here that might find this tool useful!

Hey everyone, I wanted to share what I have been working on recently. I had this itch for a long time to figure out if terrain contour matching could help with ground navigation, by only only relying on iphone's sensors and public data. So far I have had decent results. This is a working prototype, but there is a lot that is in the pipeline. If you notice anything weird, let me know or open a PR. Any feedback, comments are welcome :)

Built this because I was tired of sharing URLs full of tracking cruft. Safari extension for iOS and macOS that strips utm_*, fbclid, gclid, and 50+ other tracking parameters automatically. Runs entirely on-device with zero data collection. Also bundles CRED-1, a domain credibility dataset (2,672 flagged domains with 5 independent trust signals) that can warn you before visiting sources known for misinformation. Available on the App Store for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
