is this a workout app?

no. folk doesn't count reps or build you a program. it's the accountability half, the friend who knows you said you'd go and asks when you don't. it works alongside whatever program you already use.

do i need to download anything?

no. folk lives in imessage or telegram. you text it like a person, from the app you already have open.

can it be harsher? or gentler?

both. just tell it. people run folk anywhere from a supportive check-in to genuinely mean, and it remembers your preference.

there's a free forever tier with no card required, and that covers daily check-ins and reminders.
