> No, it sounds like the author is well aware of that, and is instead just trying to get a read on what the gov's various systems are saying about him, so he can stay well within buffers of that.
You don't need an app for that. You just behave like a normal person.

?? I'm a normal person, and I don't need to count my days in and out of a country, I just take vacations when I like.
If OP did that, they'd lose their visa.
It sounds like you've never known anyone on a green card, or waiting for citizenship, or on a visa that requires a certain number of days in the country.
> To apply for British citizenship, you need to prove you were physically in the UK on your application date but five years ago.
This is an insane bureaucratic requirement (to have been in the country exactly 5 years on the day prior), and not someone the vast majority of people need to worry about. How does "just behave like a normal person" help keep you on the right side of multiple overlapping Kafkaesque requirements?
Hard disagree. You accidentally break an immigration rule, you face the consequences (if you get caught and the officer is not letting it slide).
No amount of "behaving like a normal person" (whatever that means) is going to save you in that situation.
