See a concert or exhibition poster you like? Take a photo. Made plans with friends in a chat? Bring the screenshot. Got an important date in a message or email? Paste the text. Beyo uses AI to turn what you already have into organized events and countdowns — with dates, times, locations, reminders, and things to prepare. From concerts and exhibitions to passport and visa expirations, exams, sports, flights and hotel bookings, payment due dates, and contract deadlines, Beyo helps you track upcoming events using information you already have. If an image contains multiple events, Beyo can create multiple countdowns at once. Instead of typing titles and dates one by one, just bring what you already have into Beyo. Key Features • Recognize event details from photos, screenshots, and text • Create multiple events at once • Suggest reminders for each event • Suggest things to prepare • Capture dates, date ranges, and locations Terms of Use: https://beyo.day/terms Privacy Policy: https://beyo.day/privacy
