Live where you want. Owe only where you must.
Every border you cross quietly changes what you owe. Heed counts your days against each country's own residency test, not just the 183-day rule, and watches the rules across your whole map, so no threshold arrives as a surprise bill.
The quiet risk
The mistakes that only surface at filing time.
The costly ones are never dramatic. No audit, no letter. Just a line you crossed months ago, in a country you barely remember landing in, that quietly changed what you owe.
Example
You spent 183 days in a country you only meant to pass through, and became tax resident there without realising.

Watched for you
Residency rules across your travel map
Day-count thresholds and residency tests for the countries you spend time in, plus a two-country tie-breaker view.
Day-count tracking with auto alerts
Set goals (avoid or establish residency) and get warned at 155 days in Avoid mode, or at 50%, 85%, and 100% of your goal in Establish mode. Before, not after.
Visa re-entry windows
A residence permit can lapse after one long absence, however low your day count is. Set the maximum time away your permit allows and Heed warns you before the window closes.
Remote-worker and digital-nomad regimes
New visas, special tax regimes, and the fine print that decides whether they actually apply to you.
Exit, entry and offshore-structure rules
Exit taxes, CFC rules, economic substance, and CRS reporting changes for the countries connected to your setup.
What Heed actually changes for you.
Planning the next base
Compare multiple jurisdictions on the rates and rules that matter for your income mix before you commit a tax year.
Avoiding accidental residency
Track days across every country in your travel map and get alerted before you cross a threshold.
Defending your existing setup
Hear about it when a verified change tightens a regime you rely on, so you can restructure before the rule applies, not after.
Questions
What people ask before they start.
Straight answers to the questions people search for before they sign up. Heed is intelligence, not advice.
Usually where you are tax resident, and each country decides that by its own tests: the days you spend there, a home, or where your life is centred. You can be resident in more than one country, and your home country can keep you as resident after you leave. Heed counts your days in every country and watches each country's rules.
No. 183 days is a common line, but many countries also look at where your home, family and work are, and some make you resident on far fewer days: under the UK's statutory residence test, someone recently resident with enough UK ties can stay resident from 16 days. Heed counts your days in each country against that country's own threshold, and its rule changes reach your feed.
Visitors from many countries outside the EU may stay in the Schengen area for 90 days in any 180-day period. It is an immigration rule, separate from tax residency, and the count rolls forward every day. Heed counts your days in each country, so you can see where you stand.
Not by itself, but staying long enough under one often does, and some countries offer special tax treatment to visa holders. Each country sets its own rules. Heed watches the visa and tax rules of the countries you use, and on Pro, Visa Match shows which programmes make you tax resident and how they are taxed, with the official source.
A day counter tells you how many days you have spent. Heed adds what the rules say: when a threshold, a regime or a deadline changes in a country you use, Heed tells you, matched to your situation and linked to the official source.
No. Heed is intelligence, not advice. It tells you what changed and why it may matter to you, so the conversation with your adviser starts from the facts.
