# the gym accountability partner in your texts

> folk is a gym accountability partner that texts you. it nudges you before the session, asks for proof after, logs meals from a photo, and keeps the streak.

The gym problem is not the workout, it is the two hours before it when you talk yourself out of it. Folk is the friend who texts "7am tomorrow, right?" the night before, "you up?" at 6:30, and "send me the post-gym selfie" at 8. It keeps your streak, logs your meals when you send a photo, remembers your PRs, and does not let a missed Tuesday turn into a missed month. No gym app to open, just texts from a friend who remembers what you said you would do.

## What folk handles for you

### the night-before and the morning-of

Tell folk your gym days and folk confirms the plan the night before, then nudges you when it is time to leave. Snooze it and folk asks again in 10 minutes. Cancel and it asks what day you are moving it to.

### proof, streaks, and a little hype

After the session folk asks for the selfie, the screenshot, or just "done." It logs the day, updates your streak, and remembers what you lifted so next week it can ask whether you beat it.

### food and rest days in the same thread

Send a photo of your plate and folk logs calories and protein against your target. It knows your rest days, your protein goal, and the fact that you hate leg day, and it plans around all three.

## Example conversation

**folk:** Gym tomorrow, 7am. Still on?

**You:** ugh yeah

**folk:** 6:30am. You up? Bag's by the door if you listened to me last night.

**You:** leaving now

**folk:** Day 12 🔥 Send me the post-gym pic when you're done. Last week's bench was 135x5, see if you can get 6.

## FAQ

### Does folk connect to my fitness apps?

Yes. Connect Strava from the dashboard and folk can see your logged workouts automatically. You can also just text it "done" or send a photo. It logs either way and keeps one streak.

### Can it track my food too?

Yes. Send a photo of your meal and folk estimates calories and protein and logs it against your daily target. Same thread, same friend, no separate calorie app.

### How much does it cost?

Free to start, with 20 messages a day. The workout-accountability folkway unlocks 7 days of scheduled check-ins for free. After that, ongoing check-ins are part of Pro at $9.99 a month.
