Editor's note, July 2026: we submitted this iPhone release while the app was still called Happening, then renamed it to Frae a couple of weeks later in July 2026. The launch below happened under the old name; the App Store listing, your account and every link carried over unchanged.
Store-name note, 9 August 2026: the iPhone and iPad build is available at the same App Store ID, but Apple currently displays its previous “Happening - Plan Together” listing name while the store rebrand catches up. It is the same account-compatible app described here.
Frae is now available across iPhone, Android and the web. This post records the work behind that launch: cross-platform sign-in, mobile push notifications and invite links that still work for guests in a browser.
Frae on iPhone
The iOS build is live on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, where the listing currently retains the previous Happening name. It has the same core flow as Android and the web: create an event, share one link, collect availability and choose the final date.
It's the same Frae: create an event, share one link, watch the availability roll in, lock in the date. Invite links open straight into the app via Universal Links, and push notifications arrive when something actually needs you - a new invite, a confirmed date - and never for anything else.
Sign in with Apple, on every platform
Sign in with Apple is often treated as an iOS-only checkbox. We wired it into all three platforms:
- iPhone and iPad: the native Apple sheet - Face ID, done.
- Android: tap the Apple button and a secure tab handles the same Apple sign-in, then drops you straight back into the app. If your life is split between an Android phone and an Apple ID, that's no longer our problem to hand back to you.
- Web: the Apple button on frae.app signs you in with a popup, right next to the Google button that was already there.
Email and Google sign-in work on all three as they always have. Whatever combination of devices your friend group runs, everyone gets the same one-tap experience, and the same account follows you between them.
Push notifications on both stores
Android has had push notifications from day one. iOS now has the same plumbing, verified end to end this afternoon. Our notification philosophy hasn't moved an inch, so this is worth restating: you get a push when you're invited to something, when a date is confirmed, and for the handful of moments where the app genuinely needs your attention. There are no streaks, no "your friends miss you", no re-engagement campaigns. A scheduling app that nags you is a scheduling app you delete.
Guests still need nothing at all
The most important design rule in Frae remains unchanged: the people you invite do not need an account or an app. The invite link works in a browser. Apps are for hosts and regulars who want push notifications and faster access; the shared link remains the guest route.
What stays the same
Platform work should make the product easier to reach, not heavier to use. The roadmap remains focused on the core loop: collect clear availability, show the trade-offs and let the host make the final call. If you use an iPhone or iPad, use the linked App Store listing; its title may still show Happening during the rebrand.
