Get the apps
Where to download Happier for iPhone, Android, desktop and the browser, and which one to start with.
Happier runs your coding agents on a computer you control and gives you a way to drive them from somewhere else. So you need two things: the CLI on the machine that will do the work, and a client to drive it from.
Start with the client. You cannot finish the CLI's login without one — the terminal prints a code for a browser or phone you are already signed in on.
On your phone
iPhone and iPad
Happier on the App Store.
Android (APK)
Direct download. There is no public Play listing yet.
Android is worth a sentence of explanation. There is no public Google Play listing today — the Play track is closed testing, so the store page returns "not found" unless your Google account is already on the tester list. The APK above is a direct download and is how most Android users are running Happier. If you would rather go through Play, you can join the testing programme first; the store page starts working for your account once you have.
In a browser
app.happier.dev is the full client — no install, and the fastest way to see whether Happier suits you. It is also the easiest place to complete the CLI login, because you are probably already signed in to a browser on the machine you are setting up.
On your desktop
The desktop app adds things a browser tab cannot do: it can install and manage the background service for you, and it keeps a window and tray presence when the session is running somewhere else.

Current desktop build: v0.2.0. Every build is listed on the
releases page if you need an older one or a different
architecture. The desktop app is versioned separately from the CLI, so its
number will not match happier --version.
On the machine that runs your agents
This is the part that does the work, and it is a CLI rather than an app:
curl -fsSL https://happier.dev/install | bashOn Windows, in PowerShell:
iwr https://happier.dev/install.ps1 -useb | iexThe installer verifies every release signature before unpacking. See CLI for the other install routes, release channels, and what to do when the command is not found afterwards.
