How the counting works, what proves a day, which decrees are covered, and where your records live.
If you were in Puerto Rico at any point on a calendar day, TrackedPR records that day as a Puerto Rico day. You can read the same record two ways: days outside Puerto Rico, which only counts a day elsewhere when you did not touch the island that day, and all touches, which counts every state and country you were in. Switching the view never changes the underlying log — it only changes what you are looking at.
No. Battery-light location detection logs where you were each day automatically, and you can add or correct any day yourself. If you are starting partway through a year, you can import your existing history rather than retyping it — a location CSV or PDF from another day-tracker, a spreadsheet of your own, or a backup. If your file comes from an app the importer does not read yet, email it to support@trackedpr.com and we will add that format; the importer is being widened as people send theirs in.
They are tracked as their own kinds of day rather than being lumped in with ordinary presence, alongside international days and the 30-day international tracking. TrackedPR also supports the 183-day test, the three-year alternative of 549 days, and a full-time student mode with a 60-day threshold.
A running file of the ties that show where your life actually is, kept alongside your day count. TrackedPR ships it as a written 43-item library across seven groups — identity and residency, housing, financial, healthcare, community and lifestyle, government and tax, and address updates — so you are working from a checklist rather than a blank page. Mark each item not started, in progress or completed, and record whether the document is uploaded, linked in your own cloud, or a physical copy. Which evidence matters in your situation is a question for your advisor.
No. Every day logged automatically already carries its own stamp: the place resolved to country, state and city, and the local time you were detected there. That stamp goes into your report as its own column, on every one of those days, without you doing anything. Attaching a boarding pass or a receipt is a second layer you add to the days where you want more than the stamp. What TrackedPR does not keep is your precise coordinates — they are used on your device to work out which jurisdiction and timezone you are in, and then discarded, so your report shows where and when without carrying a map of your movements.
Yes, in one tap, at any time of year. The export is a single packet containing your day log, the proof files attached to those days, and the summaries — not a raw spreadsheet your accountant has to interpret.
Chapters 2 through 7 — Individual Investor, Export Services, Industrial, Green Energy, Agriculture and Creative Industries — plus a free-text option for anything not on the list. Decree years run back to 1990, so grandfathered Act 20 and Act 22 decrees and older incentive decrees are all supported on their own terms.
Your location history and residency records stay on your device. They are never uploaded to us and we cannot see them. Your account is only how you sign in — an email and password, or Google — and it carries nothing but that. You back your records up to your own iCloud or Drive, and they reach your CPA only when you send them.
Yes. Days on the US mainland are tracked by state and international days by country, with the 30-day international cap tracked as you go. That matters because the days you spend elsewhere are part of the same picture as the days you spend on the island.
Yes. TrackedPR counts a calendar day as a Puerto Rico day if you were on the island at any point in it, so the day you fly in and the day you fly out are each counted where you were. The same rule is what makes a day you spent partly in Puerto Rico and partly somewhere else count as a Puerto Rico day.
It counts as a Puerto Rico day, and the record keeps both places rather than picking one. Days like that are flagged in the export as double-touch days, so your CPA can see which days carried a second location instead of having to take the count on trust. On the dashboard you can read them either way: as days outside Puerto Rico, or as every state and country you touched.
Your records live on the device, so a lost phone matters — which is why TrackedPR nags you about backups rather than assuming you will remember. You save a backup to your own iCloud or Drive through the share sheet, and restore it on the new device. The app raises an alert if you have never saved one, and again when the last one is getting old.
Yes. Working out which jurisdiction a location falls in happens on your device against a stored map of the boundaries, not by asking a server, so days are still resolved and recorded with no connection. That is also why your coordinates never need to leave the phone.
It is built not to. TrackedPR samples your location infrequently in the background and resolves it on the device rather than holding a continuous GPS fix, because a day counter only needs to know which jurisdiction you were in, not where you were standing. Crossing into or out of Puerto Rico is picked up as an event rather than by watching you all day.
Nothing is lost. Days detected automatically do not need logging at all, and any gap in the record surfaces as an alert rather than sitting there silently. You can add or correct any day afterwards, and the app also flags stretches of days with no proof behind them, days that break a streak, and international days approaching the 30-day tracking.
Yes. Add as many as you hold and label them — a personal decree and one for a business entity, for example. Each carries its own number, year and chapter, so a grandfathered decree and a current one sit side by side rather than forcing you to pick which one the app knows about.
The ones that change what you would do: that you are on track or at risk against your target for the year, that a single country is approaching the 30-day international tracking, that a stretch of days has no proof attached, that your closer-connection file is thin, that a streak broke, and that your backup is old or missing. They appear in the app, and on a phone they can arrive as notifications.
Yes. The record is kept by year and you can move between them, and the three-year alternative tracker adds up presence across a rolling three-year window toward 549 days. Years from before you started using TrackedPR can be entered directly, so a year you tracked elsewhere still counts toward that total.
Your records stay where they always were — on your device — and we never held them, so there is nothing for us to delete or withhold. Any backup you have already saved to your own cloud stays yours regardless. Exporting from inside the app does need an active subscription or trial, so save a backup while yours is running rather than after it ends.
No. TrackedPR provides organisational tools and informational residency tracking. It does not determine your legal residency status, and it is not a substitute for a qualified Puerto Rico CPA or tax attorney.
The record is easiest to build while the year is still happening.
