When you travel across borders, the exact time of your exit can impact how your days are counted in different countries. Some countries count a day of presence if you’re there at midnight, while others consider the day of arrival or departure differently.

To help you maintain accurate records, Daysium includes a Midnight Cross-Border Check.

  • Automatic detection: If you change location around midnight, Daysium will detect the crossing.

  • Notification prompt: You’ll see a notification on your home screen when you next open the app. Select if you left before or after midnight.

  • Why it matters: Confirming whether you left before or after midnight ensures your day counts are precise and defensible.

This feature gives you peace of mind that your records are always aligned with jurisdictional rules, even during tricky overnight journeys.
