things people ask

last updated august 2026

does it message my friends for me?

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.

why not just use the group chat?

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.

is this social media?

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.

who is it not for?

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.

does it work on iPhone and Android?

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.

what does it actually know about me?

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.
