Everything you need to
prove your residency
A complete system — from automatic GPS tracking to court-ready PDF reports — built to meet the highest standards of evidence integrity for tax residency documentation.
Automatic Tracking
GPS-precise background location recording on iPhone
Borderly runs quietly in the background on your iPhone, recording your physical location with GPS precision every day. There is nothing to remember, no buttons to press, and no manual entries to make.
The app is designed to be battery-efficient while still capturing every jurisdiction transition. When you cross a state line or land in a new country, Borderly knows.
Location tracking works even when you're offline or out of cell range — your presence history is always complete, even after flights, remote travel, or periods without connectivity.
Key capabilities
- Battery-efficient background operation
- Tracks your location even offline
- Multi-jurisdiction detection
- Timezone-aware date assignment
Cryptographic Proof
Tamper-evident cryptographic hash chain
Every presence record you create is hashed and linked to the previous record in a cryptographic chain. This means any modification to any record — past or present — breaks the chain in a way that is mathematically detectable.
On select tiers, each record can be independently timestamped by DigiCert, a globally trusted certificate authority. These timestamps prove not just what was recorded, but exactly when it was recorded.
Your records can also be anchored to the blockchain, creating an immutable, publicly verifiable proof of data integrity that does not depend on Borderly existing as a company. Available on higher tiers.
Key capabilities
- Each record links cryptographically to the previous one
- Any modification breaks the chain
- Mathematically verifiable integrity
- Trusted timestamps from DigiCert (paid tiers)
- Optional blockchain anchoring (paid tiers)
Attorney Access
Delegated access with granular permissions
Your tax attorney needs to see your presence data. But you need to know exactly what they accessed. Borderly provides scoped, auditable access that puts you in control.
Permission levels range from view-only to full administrative access. Every action your attorney takes is logged in an audit trail that you can review at any time.
For firms managing multiple clients, Borderly offers team-level management with individual assignments. Onboarding a new client takes a single invite link — they sign up, grant access, and the attorney can begin working immediately.
Key capabilities
- Viewer, reporter, and admin access levels
- Jurisdiction-level restrictions
- Complete audit trail
- Firm-level management with team assignments
- One-click client onboarding invites
Evidence Vault
Encrypted document storage with context
Your presence records tell the story of where you were. The Evidence Vault lets you attach the supporting documentation that proves it. Photos of boarding passes, hotel receipts, lease agreements, utility bills — anything that corroborates your physical presence.
Every file is encrypted at rest and linked to a specific date and jurisdiction. When you generate a report, the relevant evidence is referenced alongside the presence records it supports.
Deleted evidence enters a recovery window before permanent removal, giving you time to restore anything removed by mistake.
Key capabilities
- Photos, receipts, boarding passes, lease agreements
- Encrypted at rest
- Linked to specific dates and jurisdictions
- Soft-delete with recovery window
- Secure upload and download
Goal Tracking
Residency thresholds with real-time progress
Tax residency rules are not one-size-fits-all. Some jurisdictions require a minimum number of days. Others impose a maximum. Some use ratios or percentages. Borderly supports all of these goal types and tracks your progress against them in real time.
Goals are scoped to specific year periods and update automatically as new presence records are created. You always know exactly where you stand relative to every threshold that matters.
Our planning tools let you model "what-ifs" by adding future planned days onto your calendar. Our overviews combine your actual recorded days with planned days to show projected outcomes before the year is over.
Key capabilities
- Minimum and maximum day targets per jurisdiction
- Ratio and percentage goals
- Scenario planning with what-if projections
- Combined actual and planned progress views
- Yearly goals
Verified Reports
Court-ready cryptographically signed PDFs
When it is time to file or respond to an audit, Borderly generates a comprehensive PDF report that summarizes your presence history by jurisdiction, includes hash chain verification details, and references supporting evidence.
Reports can be shared with attorneys, tax authorities, or auditors. Recipients can independently validate the integrity of the underlying data without needing a Borderly account.
Key capabilities
- Complete presence summary by jurisdiction
- Hash chain verification included
- Evidence attachment references
- Downloadable and shareable
