We build the products people open every day.
bardel.io designs, ships and runs its own family of digital products — for Lebanon, the Gulf and the diaspora. Every one built in-house, in Arabic and English, and still run by us long after launch. No client decks. Just things people actually use.
A growing family of products. One studio behind all of them.
Each one solves something ordinary that nobody had bothered to fix properly. We own them end to end — product, design, engineering, growth — and we keep running them long after launch day. Here’s what’s live right now.
The Nice Gift
Wishlists and gift registries built for Lebanon and its diaspora. Make a list, share one link, and friends anywhere in the world can send a gift that arrives at your door in Beirut. Guests need no account, gifts are marked the second they're bought so nothing is duplicated, and your address stays private.
HalaTab
A browser start page that turns every new tab into a moment of calm: prayer times, Qibla, and a daily verse. Everything is computed on your own device — no accounts, no ads, no tracking — and it's natively localized in six languages, with full right-to-left typography.
ilayn — إلى أين؟
"Where to next?" A bilingual Arabic and English guide for young people working out what comes after school. It maps the road from where you are now to university, to the skills worth learning, to a first job — and answers all the questions in between.
PrivaSale
A members-only private sale club in Lebanon, with the Gulf next. Follow the brands you like, get an invitation before the doors open, and shop hand-picked sales at up to −70%. Every sale runs three to five days, then it's gone.
habibi.deals
A community deal board for the Gulf. Members post what they find, everyone votes it hot or cold, and ninety days of price history keeps the "discounts" honest. Set an alert for the thing you're after and we'll tell you the moment it drops.
AskDuba
Marhaba, I'm Duba. A bilingual AI concierge for Dubai that answers in Arabic or English, by voice or by text. Dinner tonight, plans for the weekend, a two-day itinerary, or everything you need to know about moving there.
LEB247
Independent, non-political coverage of what's actually happening in Lebanon — events verified daily, new openings, food and culture stories, a map of everywhere we've written about, plus deals, jobs and classifieds. Lebanon 101 adds practical, dated guides on renting, banking, generators and getting around.
The next one is already being built.
There's always another one on the bench. If you've got an idea worth building — or you want to build it with us — the door's open.
Ship it, then stay.
We're not an agency. We build our own products with our own money, which means we live with every decision we make. Here's the loop we run on.
Start with the ordinary
We look for the friction people have stopped noticing — a gift that arrives twice, a "sale" that isn't one, a first job nobody explained how to get. Then we prototype fast and put it in front of real users early.
Earn the audience
Bring in the right people, keep them engaged, turn them into customers, and look after them long after the first visit. Growth that compounds beats growth that spikes, every time.
Run it like it's year one
Launching is the easy part. We moderate, verify, update and support every product ourselves — because a deal board with stale deals or an events page with old events is worse than nothing.
Small team. Beirut. Loads of coffee.
Innovation starts with reimagining the ordinary.
bardel.io is an independent product studio headquartered in Beirut. We build for the markets we live in — which means Arabic and English from the first commit, prices in the currencies people actually pay in, and delivery that works on real Lebanese roads.
Beirut is a city that's very good at making something work out of a difficult day-to-day. That instinct shows up in everything we ship. We'd rather keep building things we believe in than pitch one we don't.
So don't worry about sounding professional when you get in touch. Sound like you.
