The road trip where everything went wrong and it became your best story. The conversation that changed how you see yourself. They're fading. Not because they didn't matter — but because nobody built a place to keep them. Happlace keeps them. ### Features "No audience. No algorithm. No pressure." - Question Bank: You know their name. But do you know their story? Prompts about childhood, relationships, and family. - Memories: A photo without context is just a file. Add a caption, a feeling, a date. Tag who was there and why it mattered. - Social layer: Start alone. Share when you're ready. Happlace works as your personal journal from day one. Every post has its own audience — you choose who's in the room. ### Social Proof "The people who actually know you" No strangers. No performance. Just the circle that was there before you had anything to prove. ### Pricing - Free plan: $0 — 5 memories/month, core question bank, text posts, private feed & messaging - Happlace Plus: $2.99/month or $29.99/year — unlimited memories, up to 9 photos per memory, full question bank, unlimited photo attachments - "Other apps are free because they sell you.
