Installing the iOS App

Download Borderly on your iPhone to enable automatic GPS-based day tracking in the background.

Individual

Overview

The Borderly iOS app is where automatic location tracking happens. Once installed, the app records which state, province, or country you are in each day — with no manual input required.

The web dashboard at borderly.day gives you full access to your records, reports, evidence, and settings from any browser.

How to Install

Follow these steps:

1

Open the App Store on your iPhone

Search for "Borderly" or "Borderly Day Tracker".

2

Tap Download

The app is free to download. It requires iOS 18 or later.

3

Open the app and sign in

Sign in with the same email or Apple ID you used to create your account. If you have not created an account yet, you can sign up directly in the app.

4

Allow location access

When prompted, select "Allow While Using App" first. Then, when prompted again, choose "Always Allow". This lets Borderly track your location in the background so you never miss a day.

Choosing "Allow Once" or "Never" will prevent automatic tracking. You can change this later in your iPhone Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > Borderly.

What Happens After Installation

Once you grant location permission, Borderly begins recording your location automatically. You do not need to open the app every day. The app uses energy-efficient GPS monitoring that runs in the background.

Each day, the app determines which jurisdiction (state, province, or country) you are in and creates a presence record. These records appear on your calendar and dashboard.

Your data syncs securely to the cloud so you can view it on the web or on any device signed in to your account.

For best accuracy, keep location services enabled and avoid force-quitting the app. The app uses very little battery.
