We love iPhone
Bjango (pronounced be-jan-go) is a 100% privately owned company. We’ve been ranked as high as #2 on the iTunes App Store overall paid app chart. Apple have featured Bjango’s apps on iTunes and in some of their advertising, including an ad on the back cover of Time Magazine in the US.
Bjango was founded by part of the team that created iStat Pro, iStat Menus, Organized and quite a few other successful donationware apps and widgets under the moniker of iSlayer. iSlayer formed mid 2005 and transformed into Bjango early 2009. Our iSlayer apps and widgets have had over 20 million downloads so far.
Hopefully you’ll enjoy our take on things—we love easy to use, impeccably crafted little iPhone apps, so that’s what we build. We also really like hearing back from our users, so please send us a message to report bugs, to request features or just to say hi.
All Bjango team members reside in that great big, sunny land mass at the end of the earth, Australia. Bjango.com is hosted on a Mac Mini at Macminicolo.
Follow us on Twitter to be the first to know about updates, new releases and what we’re up to. We also give out promo codes for our apps via a second Twitter account (@bjangocodes).
How big is Bjango?
We have one coder, one designer, one support and one part time finance/PR person. Everything is created and managed in-house, including music and sound design. We’re tiny, but we work very hard and love what we do.

“Darkness is visually attractive and engaging. It provides a wealth of information essential for those
whose work or recreation takes them outdoors and for the astronomically curious. 4.5 / 5”

“A time-tracker glistening with features and good design.”
