About Jetseen. Why We Built a Better Residency Day Tracker.
Jetseen is a residency day tracking app for people who live across borders. It calculates how many days you have spent in each country and tells you, in real time, how many days remain before you hit a tax residency threshold, visa limit, or minimum presence requirement. It covers 195 countries, includes built-in rules for 12+ jurisdictions, and stores all data locally on your device: no GPS, no cloud, no background tracking.
We’re Utilities Studio. A small team of friends, Harry (Hariom), Shan, and Shaun (Soaham), making apps that solve real problems. The kind of problems we bump into ourselves, or hear about from family and friends over dinner.
Shaun spent six years as a digital nomad. Split time between countries. Juggled tax thresholds, visa limits, and residency days on a spreadsheet. It worked until one broken formula quietly wrecked six months of numbers. He only found out in the accountant’s office.
He tried every tracking app he could find. One logged 18 days across eight months of travel. Another needed to be opened every month or it silently stopped working. None of them warned you upfront. When the stakes are real, that isn’t a quirk. It’s dangerous.
So the three of us teamed up. We wanted one app that got the numbers right and didn’t make you guess. That app became Jetseen.
Most of what we build starts the same way. A friend mentions a frustration. A parent flags a gap in some tool they’re stuck using. We listen, prototype, and only ship when it’s actually useful to someone we know.
Small team. Loud group chat.
We’ve been friends longer than we’ve been colleagues. Most decisions still get argued out over messages at odd hours.
Harry (Hariom)
Engineering
Builds the guts of the apps. Obsesses over numbers that have to be exactly right.
Shan
Product & design
Keeps us honest about what feels right. If a screen is confusing, he spots it first.
Shaun (Soaham)
Founder, the user we build for
Six years on the road. The original reason Jetseen exists. Still the loudest voice in user testing.
The rules we don’t break.
Four things we agreed on before we wrote a single line of code. Everything else is up for debate.
We build for people we know.
Our families. Our friends. Ourselves. Most ideas start with someone we love mentioning a problem over dinner. If nobody in our group would actually use it, we don't ship it. That keeps us honest about what's useful and what's just clever.
Your data stays on your device.
No silent background tracking. No selling your location. No ads in your travel logs or your health records. Privacy isn't a feature we bolted on. It's the floor we build everything else on top of.
One clear price. No tiers.
One plan. Every feature included. No "pro" version quietly gating the thing you actually need. We're building for consumers, not procurement teams. You should know exactly what you're paying for before you tap Subscribe.
Only tools we'd hand to a friend.
We don't ship for the sake of shipping. Every app has to pass a simple test. Would we text a friend and say, "try this, I think you'll like it"? If the answer is no, it doesn't leave the studio. Slow is fine. Sloppy isn't.
What Jetseen is not
Jetseen is not a GPS tracker. It is not a tax filing tool. It does not give legal or immigration advice. It is a day counter, built for people whose residency status depends on getting the number right.
If you want automatic location tracking, some alternatives focus on GPS-first logging. If you need a tool that also files your taxes, Jetseen is not that tool.
