The problem

Three clocks are running, and nobody told you.

Your passport has a clock. So does your vehicle. Bring your dog and there's a third. They start on different days, follow different rules and run out at different times. A lot of travelers find out at a border desk, when an officer does the math for them.

The count keeps moving.

Schengen allows 90 days inside any rolling 180, and the window slides forward every morning. Since April 2026, Europe's Entry/Exit System scans your passport and counts your days for you. The officer already knows your number. You should too.

Your vehicle has its own deadline.

A foreign-plated vehicle gets its own import period, separate from yours. In the EU it's 6 months from the day it rolls in, and storage doesn't stop the clock. Stay past it and customs can charge import duty and VAT, or hold the vehicle.

Your dog's dates have to line up.

Microchip, rabies shot, the wait after it, a vet visit and a health certificate, each in the right order and the right window. Miss one and your dog doesn't cross.

And underneath the math there's a low worry that follows you around. Every time you look at a calendar, you wonder if you've got it right.

Crossing a border shouldn't take a spreadsheet and a law degree. Let us do the math.

Why we built it

We know that worry, because we've had it too.

We've lived on the road full time since 2018, crossing borders in our own vehicle with our dog, Kramer. We've done the 90/180 math by hand more times than we'd like to admit, and we've kept a vehicle legal in Europe while we were on another continent. Every app we tried counted our passports and ignored the truck and the dog. So we built one that counts all of it.

Then we went further. We built the rules themselves, country by country, and tied every one to the official page it came from.

The rules, not just a counter

A live database of every border rule.

Day counters do math on dates you type in. BorderRunner knows the rules behind the math: how long each passport can stay, how long a vehicle can stay on its plates, which entry documents you need, and what your dog needs to cross.

  1. Every rule links to the official source.
  2. Every rule shows the day we last checked it.
  3. Where there's no official rule, we say so and tell you to confirm.

How it works

Three steps to your exit date.

  1. Otto stamping a passport

    Add where you've been.

    Log your recent stays or pull in past trips. Traveling with a vehicle or a pet? Add them and they get their own clocks.

  2. Otto relaxing in a camp chair with a coffee

    Let it do the counting.

    BorderRunner runs every clock at the same time and keeps them current every day. Cross a border and it's logged.

  3. Otto striding along holding up his passport

    Cross with confidence.

    See the exact day each clock runs out, plan your next exit around it, and get a reminder well before it's close.

What's inside

Everything the border asks about, in one place.

  • Your real Schengen count

    Days used, days left, and the date you need to be out.

  • Your vehicle's clock and paperwork

    Its own countdown, plus the documents you'll be asked for, kept in one spot.

  • Your pet's paperwork, on a calendar

    Microchip, rabies wait, vet visit and health certificate, worked backward from your travel date.

  • Your whole crew on one account

    Partner, kids, a second vehicle, the dog. Up to 6 people on one plan, each with their own clock.

  • A border record you can show an officer

    Every entry and exit, your day count and the rule behind it, ready to share as a PDF.

  • Reminders, widgets, and a Lock Screen countdown

    Know where you stand at a glance, without opening the app.

The difference

Two ways to reach the next border.

Guessing

Counting days on your fingers and hoping the window math is right.

Forgetting the vehicle and the dog have their own deadlines.

Leaving early to be safe, or finding out late at the desk.

Questions

Before you head out.

Still stuck? Reach us through support.

Otto pointing over at the questions
Is there a free version?

The first week is free, with everything in it. After that the app needs a plan. The rule pages and calculators on this site stay free for anyone, no account needed.

Do I need a vehicle to use it?

No. Plenty of people use it just for their own days. Add a vehicle or a pet any time and they get their own clocks.

Is it only for Schengen?

No. It counts visitor stays for 241 countries and territories, including the UK, Canada, Mexico and Central America's shared 90 days, plus vehicle permits and pet entry rules.

Does this replace checking the official rules?

No, and we'd never want it to. Every rule shows its source and when we last checked it. The officer at the desk always has the final word.

Do you track where I go?

We count days, not your movements. Your phone uses its location only to work out which country you're in, and we keep the country and date, never your exact location. Photos you add stay private to you and your household and are deleted when you delete your account. We never sell your data.

What happens after the free week?

Your plan starts and renews each year or each month, whichever you picked, until you cancel. Cancel before day 7 and you pay nothing.

Stop doing border math
in your head.

Add your trips, your vehicle and your pet, and let BorderRunner tell you the day. The first week is on us.
