turn ‘we should grab dinner’ into dinner.

it notices who you've been drifting from.

we'll email you the moment your spot's ready. no spam.
HangPal gives you a really clear view into which relationships you’ve been investing time in, and which are drifting. I love that it gives ideas of fun stuff to do locally with your friends. It makes keeping up with friends fun and easy!

how it works.

01

it learns your rhythm.

weekly dinners with your roommate. monthly walks with mom. the college friend you've been meaning to text since September. hangpal picks up your patterns and notices the gaps, quietly, just for you.

02

it does the digging.

scans the web for what's actually on this week: concerts, openings, the pop-up everyone's posting about. then filters down to stuff you and your people would actually go to, based on what you've done before.

03

it plans the night.

pick the vibe: a solo reset, a one-on-one dinner, a full-group hang. hangpal picks the people, picks the place, drafts the text, and drops it on your calendar. you just hit send.

what it looks like.

the hangpal friends screen: a list of people sorted by warmth, each tagged fresh, well-maintained, drifting, overdue, or out of town, with how long it's been since you last saw them
your people, by warmth

fresh, well-maintained, drifting, overdue, out of town. a bird's eye view of the people in your life.

the hangpal plan screen: a drafted invite text written in your own voice, with the suggested place and night, ready to edit and send from your phone
drafts in your voice

hangpal writes. you tweak. you always send.

the hangpal ideas screen: saved places and activities like paddleboarding, a ramen spot, and a comedy show, held for the next time you plan something
ideas, captured

places, activities, half-formed plans. paddleboarding, that ramen spot, the comedy show. ready for next time. yours or theirs.

things people ask.

no. hangpal drafts the message and shows it to you. you decide whether to send, edit, or scrap it. the actual text goes from your phone, in your voice.
the group chat is where plans often never materialize. everyone says “we should do something,” nobody names a night, the thread scrolls away, and four months pass. hangpal does the part the group chat never does: it notices who you’re drifting from, finds something specific you’d both actually go to, picks a night that’s open on your calendar, and hands you a text to send. if your group chat already easily plans creative hangouts regularly, you might not need this.
it’s kind of the opposite. there’s no feed, no profile to maintain, no one else can see what you write. it’s a private assistant that gently reminds you to be a better friend.
it’s not for networkers. there’s no pipeline, no leads, and no way to keep 500 connections warm. it’s built for the ten or twenty or thirty people you’d see more of if you had more time & energy. if you already see your core group every week without planning, then maybe your group chat is fine & you can skip hangpal.
yes. hangpal is a progressive web app. add it to your Home Screen and it behaves like a native app on both platforms. super easy.
only what you tell it: your friends’ names, a few notes, hang frequency, and an optional calendar connection. your data is never sold, and you can delete everything in your account just by emailing hello@hangpal.app.
