Alternatives to Happ, and what carries over

First: do you need one?

Worth checking, because most people arrive here after an iOS store listing went missing and assume the whole thing is gone.

On Android, Windows, macOS or Linux — you almost certainly do not. Builds for these platforms are published on the project’s releases page and on Google Play, and they have stayed available throughout every store removal. Direct links are here, including the arm64 files the official site does not list.

On iOS — you might. Store availability differs by region, and the developer’s own suggestion when a regional listing disappears is to switch the App Store region and install the global one. Current state is tracked on the status page. A different client is the fallback if that is not practical for you.

If the app is installed and running but nothing connects — an alternative will not help, because the problem is not the app. Start with the error messages.

What to check before switching

Three things, in this order. Everything else is preference.

Does it accept a subscription link? This is the one that matters. A client that only imports individual configurations will work today and be stale in a month, because nothing updates the server list.

Does it support the protocol your subscription uses? Modern subscriptions commonly use VLESS with Reality. An older client that predates it will import your link and then fail to connect, which is a confusing way to discover the problem.

Is it published where you can verify it? The same reasoning as for Happ itself — a store listing with a named seller, or an open releases page. Not a download catalogue that repackages installers.

Clients people move to

These are the names that come up consistently. We have deliberately not put speed ratings or scores next to them: the connection speed you get is a property of your server and your network, not of the client.

Client	Platforms	Subscription links
INCY	iOS, Android	yes
v2rayTun	iOS, Android, Windows	yes
Hiddify	iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, Linux	yes
Karing	iOS, Android, Windows, macOS	yes
Streisand	iOS, macOS	yes
V2Box	iOS, Android	yes
Shadowrocket	iOS (paid)	yes
NekoRay	Windows, Linux	yes

Availability changes, particularly on iOS. Check the store listing for your region before planning around any of these.

Moving over

1. Install the new client from its own store listing or releases page.
2. Copy the subscription link from your provider — the same one, using their copy button rather than selecting it by hand.
3. Paste it into the new client’s add-subscription action.
4. Leave Happ installed for a few days. If the new client behaves oddly, having a known-working app to compare against tells you immediately whether the problem is the client or the subscription.

If the link imports in one client and fails in another, the difference is nearly always protocol support or a copying mistake, not your subscription being broken.

If the subscription itself is the problem

Then no client will fix it. An expired subscription or an exhausted traffic allowance fails silently — no message, just nothing connecting. Check your remaining time with whoever issued it before you spend an evening trying apps.
