use case

an ai accountability partner that keeps you on track

The problem was never knowing what to do — it's doing it on day 9 when no one's watching. Folk is a personal AI accountability partner that lives in your texts and is watching, in the good way. Tell it your goals and the habits you're building, and it checks in at the right times, tracks your streaks, calls out the excuses gently, and makes quitting something you have to do out loud instead of quietly.

how folk does it

01

set the goal and the terms

Tell folk what you're committing to and how you want to be held to it: "gym 4x a week, ask me each night," or "no doomscrolling before noon — call me out if I slip." You set the rules; folk enforces them.

02

real check-ins, real pushback

Folk checks in when it matters, not with a generic reminder. It tracks your streak, asks for the proof, and when you're about to bail it pushes back — the friction a friend would give you if they actually remembered.

03

celebrate wins, reset the misses

Folk tracks your progress over time, hypes the streaks, and when you fall off it helps you reset instead of spiraling — making the goal smaller so you start again tomorrow.

what it looks like

i want to write 500 words every day. keep me on it

Locked in — 500 words daily. I'll ask you at 8pm if it's done; you reply yes or send me the count. Miss a day and I'm asking why. Ready for tonight's check-in at 8?

8pm — 500 words today? 📝

ugh no, didn't start

Okay, no spiral — it's 8pm, not midnight. Can you give me 150 words in the next 20 min? Not 500, just enough to keep the streak alive. I'll check back at 8:25.

частые вопросы

How is this different from a reminder app?

A reminder app fires once and gets ignored. Folk actually follows up, asks for proof, pushes back on excuses, tracks your streak, and adapts — it behaves like a friend who remembers and won't let it slide.

Can I set how hard it pushes me?

Yes. Tell folk to be gentle or to be relentless, and it matches your style. You control the tone, the timing, and the goals, and can change them anytime.

What can it hold me accountable for?

Anything you can describe: workouts, writing, studying, screen time, sleep, sobriety, a side project. Folk remembers your goals and history, so check-ins stay personal. $20/mo with a free trial.
