# an ai journaling companion in your texts

> Folk is a personal AI journaling companion you text. Jot a line about your day and it keeps your journal, reflects patterns back, and gently prompts you to keep going. No app. $20/mo.

Journaling works, but the blank page and the app you forget to open kill it. Folk is a personal AI journaling companion that lives in your texts - jot a line whenever the thought hits, and folk keeps the journal, asks the question that goes a layer deeper, reflects patterns back over time, and keeps the habit alive. No app, no blank page, and it remembers what you've been through.

## How folk does it

### journal in one text

Send folk whatever's on your mind - a sentence, a voice note, a photo. No formatting, no app to open. Folk saves it to your private journal and timestamps it.

### go a layer deeper

Folk reflects back what it's hearing and asks the one thoughtful question that turns a vent into a real entry - the part most people skip when journaling alone.

### see patterns and keep the streak

Over time folk surfaces patterns ("you've mentioned feeling drained after Mondays three weeks running") and gently checks in so the habit sticks. It remembers your history, so entries build on each other.

## Example conversation

**You:** today was good actually. got the gym in and finally called my brother

**folk:** Love that - two things you'd been putting off, done in one day. What made today the day you finally called him?

**You:** idk just missed him i guess

**folk:** Saved to your journal. That's twice this week you've reached out when you missed someone instead of sitting on it - a nice pattern. Want me to check in tomorrow evening?

## FAQ

### Is my journal private?

Completely. Folk keeps your entries in your own isolated sandbox, only you can see them, and folk never trains AI models on your data.

### How is this different from a journaling app?

A journaling app waits for you to open it. Folk lives in your texts, so you journal in the moment - and it actively reflects, asks questions, spots patterns, and keeps you consistent instead of just storing text.

### Can it remind me to journal?

Yes. Folk can check in at a time you choose and keep your streak going, adapting to how your week actually goes. Folk Pro is $20/month, with a free tier to start.
