How BorderRunner countsChecked 11 Oct 2026 by Chris Pochiba

Where our dates come from

The short version

Every clock is only as good as the dates behind it. BorderRunner marks where each date came from, so you know which ones to double-check.

How it works

Dates you log yourself are marked as yours.

With location on, BorderRunner can log a crossing when you arrive in a new country. It keeps the country, never the address.

Past trips rebuilt from your photos' locations, or imported from a file like Google Timeline or TripIt, are marked as photo or import, so you know to check them.

You can add a photo of a stamp, boarding pass or ferry ticket to any crossing as proof.

You can fix any date in History, and every clock recounts when you do.

Mistakes people make

Trusting a date you guessed. A boarding pass or booking email will have the real one.
Assuming auto-log caught every crossing. A border with no signal can slip past, so check History after a travel day.

Where this comes from

Government sources only. Read the rule yourself.
