Days: count your trips abroad for ILR, citizenship and Schengen the way each rule does

A new tool on allkeep.org. Write each trip once, and Days checks it against UK settlement and citizenship, Canadian and US citizenship and Schengen 90/180, next to the official words.

When you apply for settlement or citizenship in the UK, Canada or the US, the form asks for every trip of the last five years, and each country counts a travel day its own way. I made Days to do that count. It is at allkeep.org/en/days, in English, Russian and Chinese, and it needs no account.

Where you live picks the rules

Pick the UK, Canada, the US or Elsewhere. The UK tab checks settlement and British citizenship, Canada checks citizenship and keeping permanent residence, the US checks naturalisation, and Schengen's 90 days in any 180 is under every tab. Each rule gets a slip with its figure, a stamp for the verdict and the official text it rests on.

The UK tab: five years of trips on one sheet, the list of trips, and the settlement slip at 74 of 180 days, stamped Within

The Canadian citizenship slip: 992 of 1,095 days in Canada, short by 103 days, signing possible from 3 Feb 2027

Five years on one sheet

Every day is a square. The rule you look at marks its dates; for settlement, that is the 12 months with the most days away, which Days finds for you.

The same week, counted twice

A week in Paris from Monday to Monday is 8 days for Schengen, which counts the day you arrive and the day you leave. For the UK, Canada and the US it is 6 days away: all three count a travel day as a day at home.

From your spreadsheet, and back to the form

Paste rows from Excel or Google Sheets, or lines like "14 Mar 2025 to 2 May 2025, India". "Download the list for the form" gives a CSV of dates, countries, whole days away and reasons.

Three pasted rows read as trips to France, Spain and India, with the whole days away of each

The list stays in your browser. Days counts days; an application also depends on the other requirements and on the caseworker.
