FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is the GPS tracking?

GPS-precise. Borderly records your coordinates and uses them to determine which state, province, or country you're in each day. Location data is encrypted at rest.

01

Does tracking drain my battery?

No noticeable impact. Borderly is designed for battery-efficient background operation.

02

What if I leave my phone at home?

You can add manual entries for any date. However, automated recordings are preferred because they carry stronger cryptographic proof — manual entries won't have the same level of verification.

03

Can I track past days retroactively?

Yes, you can add manual entries for past dates. Retroactive entries won't include cryptographic timestamps, since those are generated at the moment of recording. Automated daily tracking gives you the strongest evidentiary foundation.

04

How long does report generation take?

Typically under 60 seconds for a full year of records. Your presence data, evidence references, and cryptographic chain are compiled into a signed PDF.

05

Is there a free trial?

Yes — every new account starts with a 60-day free trial with full access. No credit card required.
