Read full description

Byna โ€” Dutch for "almost". Byna is a quiet countdown for the moments you're looking forward to. No clutter, no notifications shouting for attention, no extra screen time. One photo, one number, and the warm feeling of anticipation. โ€ข Count down to a holiday, a birthday, a reunion โ€” or any moment at all. โ€ข Choose your own photo, or let Byna pick a beautiful colour for you. โ€ข Add a widget to your Home Screen and Lock Screen, so "almost there" stays in view. โ€ข Get one gentle nudge, right when the moment arrives. Not before, not more than once. โ€ข Share your countdown with a link โ€” no app install needed for the person you send it to. Byna doesn't need an account and keeps your moments right on your device. Share a countdown, and the photo disappears on its own once the moment has passed. Small app. Big moment.
