every focus app waits for you to open it.

that's the flaw. folk texts you first, so starting isn't your job.

it starts, you don't

the session begins because folk asked, which removes the moment you bail.

body doubling over text

someone knows you're working, so the hour is observed instead of theoretical.

it names what you're avoiding

the task you've quietly moved nine days in a row.

fair questions

the things people ask first.

  • no, and blockers are easy to get around anyway. folk is the accountability layer, a friend who knows what you're supposed to be doing and checks. plenty of people run it next to a blocker.
  • working while someone else is present, in person or virtually, because being observed makes starting and staying on task much easier. it's especially popular with adhd. folk does it over text, so there's no call to join and nobody to schedule.
  • no. folk lives in imessage or telegram. you text it like a person.
  • yes, free forever, no card needed. that covers daily check-ins, reminders, and sessions.

stop downloading the fifth focus app.

tell folk what you're avoiding.
