for the miles between you

Count down to the next hello.

Welaa is a little countdown for the people you love from a distance — the partner across an ocean, the family across a border, the trip you've already booked. Set the date you'll be together again, and watch the days close in.

who it's for

For everyone counting the days
until they're in the same room.

Distance is hard. A countdown won't close it — but it gives the waiting a shape, and turns "someday" into a number that gets smaller every morning.

54 days until we're together

Long-distance love

For the partner one timezone — or one ocean — away. Count down to the flight you booked the second tickets dropped.

88 days until home

Family far away

For the parents, siblings, and grandkids across a border. Keep the next visit on your lock screen so it never feels that far.

12 days until I land

The flight home

For the reunion you're already packing for. Watch the days melt away until you're walking through arrivals.

120 days until Lisbon

The trip you booked together

For the holiday you keep daydreaming about. A shared countdown makes the wait part of the fun.

how it works

Three taps from a date
to a day you'll feel.

No setup, no account, no learning curve. You add the day you'll be together, give it a little color, and Welaa quietly counts from there.

Watch it count

Welaa lives on your home and lock screen, counting down — so the day stays close, every time you pick up your phone.

what it does

Two simple things,
done with a lot of care.

count up · count down

The days since, and the days until.

Some days you count away from — twelve days since we said goodbye. Others you count toward — fifty-four until we meet again. Welaa holds both, and turns the day itself into something worth keeping.

Counts down to the next time you're together
Counts up from the day you last hugged
A big, quiet number you can read at a glance

It's there before you even open it.

Welaa's widgets sit quietly on your home and lock screen, counting in the background. You glance at your phone, and the day is already there — closer than yesterday.

The distance didn't get any shorter.
It just stopped feeling so endless once I could watch it count down.

say hello

Made by one person,
for the people counting.

Hi — I'm [YOUR NAME]. I built Welaa because I kept counting the days to the people I love from a distance, and the apps that did it felt cold. This one's meant to feel warm. If you have an idea, a bug, or just a day you're counting toward, I'd love to hear it.

— [YOUR NAME], maker of Welaa
