the math

you'll check their story 10+ times today.

let's give that energy back to you.

folk lives in the same place the spiral does: your texts. it turns the urge to text them into one boundary, one night out, one day at a time.

what folk does

what if your texts helped you move on?

no new app to remember to open. folk works inside iMessage, telegram, and whatsapp, where you already are.

no-contact, held

the “u up?” ledge at midnight. folk talks you off it, every time, without making you feel crazy.

i'm about to text him
paste it here instead. you still get to say it, just not to the man about to ruin your night.

3am vent space

always awake when you're sad, zero judgment, and it never gets tired of hearing about it. that's the whole point.

why do i still miss him at 3am
because it's 3am. brains lie at 3am. tell me everything. i'm up.

plans that get you out

the empty nights are the dangerous ones. folk fills them with movies, friends, anything that isn't rereading old messages.

movie at 8:20 near you, or drinks with maya if she's free. want me to text her?
fine. make me busy
the system

getting over them feels impossible. until now.

tell folk what happened: the breakup, the almost-texts, the 2am spiral. it holds you to no-contact, gives you somewhere to put the paragraph, and builds plans that actually get you out of the house. day by day, it gets quieter.

  • no-contact check-ins, as gentle or blunt as you need
  • somewhere to put the paragraph before you send it
  • real plans for the nights that used to be theirs
no contact · day 12
still strong
he said he misses me and now i feel insane
that text is bait. mute him for 24 hours, i'm setting a 9pm check-in.
ok. don't let me reply
12 days no contact btw. you're doing the hard thing 🤍

people are actually moving on.

it caught the paragraph

“i had a whole essay drafted at 1am. folk told me to paste it there instead. i woke up so glad i didn't send it.”

elle r. · moving on with folk

i was skeptical, i'll be honest

“venting to an ai sounded sad. but it's 3am-proof, never tired of me, and never once made me feel judged.”

nadia p. · moving on with folk

the “i miss you” text was bait

“she texted, i spiraled, folk made me mute her for 24 hours. by morning i could see it for what it was. undefeated.”

chris j. · moving on with folk

it got me out of the house

“the empty friday nights were the worst part. folk kept finding me things to do until i started finding them myself.”

dani k. · moving on with folk

it remembers why i left

“when i got wobbly it reminded me, gently, of exactly what i told it in week one. the receipts saved me from myself.”

sof v. · moving on with folk

30 days no contact

“never made it past 4 days on my own. the nightly check-ins are the reason. i actually feel like myself again.”

how it works

three texts from now, tonight looks different.

you text folk

say hey. tell it what happened, fresh wound or six months deep. there's nothing to install.

make it yours

how blunt you want it, when to check in, what to do with the 3am texts. change it any time by just… texting.

folk texts you first

the check-in comes at night, the plan comes for the weekend. you don't have to be strong alone. folk shows up first.

your data stays yours

folk remembers things for you, not about you. it's private, encrypted, and you can wipe all of it whenever you want.

yours alone

never sold, never used to train ai. ever.

who else can see my memory?

nobody. just you. that's the whole list.

private + encrypted

your stuff lives in its own cloud computer, isolated from everyone else and encrypted where we store it.

where does my stuff live?

your own computer, locked and encrypted.

gone in seconds

delete your account anytime and your memory, messages, and cloud computer are destroyed. for good.

wipe everything

done. memory, messages, computer - gone.

common questions

the things people ask before texting folk.

short answers about how folk works, what it can take off your plate, and how hard it will actually push you.

  • folk is a personal ai that lives in your imessage, telegram, or whatsapp. you text it like a friend. for a breakup, it holds you to no-contact, gives you a 3am vent space, and builds plans that get you out of the house.
  • it can't grab your phone, but it's the friend that answers instantly when you're about to. paste the paragraph to folk instead, and by morning you'll be glad you did.
  • no lectures. folk helps you handle whatever comes back, resets the counter without shame, and figures out what triggered it so next time is easier.
  • no, and it won't pretend to be. folk is the friend between sessions: the 3am vent, the no-contact check-in, the push to get outside. if you're really struggling, folk will be the first to say talk to a professional.
  • never. not for the 3am spiral, not for rereading old messages, not for the relapse text. it's heard worse, and it's on your side.
  • yes, free to start, no card needed. upgrade to pro ($20/mo) whenever you want folk working in the background with zero limits.

you're not texting them tonight.
text folk instead.

the bestie in your texts that talks you off the ledge and actually helps you move on.
