The occasion

A birthday deserves a place of its own.

Baynana brings a birthday letter, photographs and little words together in one Arabic gift. It is made to feel personal from the first screen, then stay with the person who receives it as a file they can open again.

Made to feel personal

  1. 01

    A wish before the words

    The birthday scene responds to a tap: the candles go out, confetti falls, and another tap lights them again. An original melody plays only when the visitor chooses to start it.

  2. 02

    Photographs with their stories

    A scrapbook sorts memories into days and little details. Each photograph opens with its story, and the same editor can replace a picture or add a new one from the device.

  3. 03

    A letter in an envelope

    The gift opens a complete personal letter in an accessible dialog. Names, birthday and the message can all be changed from the same small editor.

  4. 04

    Words worth keeping

    The notebook records messages inside the gift, with the writer and date. Words save on the device and travel with the downloaded gift, alongside the photographs and letter.

The memory album: photographs open into their stories and can be replaced from the page.

A gift that stays with you

  1. 01

    Make it yours

    The editor changes both names, the birthday and the letter. Photos and their captions have their own editor, so the full gift can become a different story.

  2. 02

    Send one complete file

    Download creates an independent HTML file containing the current photos, fonts, letter and notebook. The recipient can open it without installing anything or connecting to the internet.

  3. 03

    Comfort in the small details

    Dialogs close with Escape, controls work by keyboard, images have descriptions and reduced-motion preferences stop ambient animation and confetti. Sound starts with a deliberate tap.
