How to create a custom counter
Bounded TeamUpdated July 15, 2026
If none of the built-in presets matches your rule — a specific visa condition, an employer policy, a personal target — you can build a counter from scratch.
Creating one
- 1On the Home tab, open Manage Counters (list icon), tap +, and choose Build your own.
- 2Name the counter and configure the rule (fields below).
- 3Tap Save — the counter appears on Home and starts counting against your full history immediately.

The building blocks
- Region — a single country, the Schengen Area, the EU, or Anywhere. You can exclude specific countries, and for the United States narrow down to a state or city.
- Type — Per visit (a cap on each stay, like a visa-free limit), Rolling window (X days in the last Y days, like Schengen’s 90/180), or Calendar year (resets January 1, like most 183-day tax rules).
- Direction — count Days in the region, or Days away from it (for absence caps like PR-maintenance rules).
- Goal — Stay under the threshold (avoid a limit) or Reach at least it (qualify for something, like a 60-day residency rule).
- Numbers — the target days and, for rolling windows, the window length. Per-visit counters can add an optional rolling cap on top. You can also set a start date and an expiration date.
