# a friend for the six days between therapy sessions

> folk is the friend in your texts between therapy sessions. daily check-ins, a mood log, homework reminders, and notes to bring to your therapist. not therapy.

Therapy is one hour a week. The other 167 are where the work actually happens, and where it is easiest to lose the thread. Folk checks in every day, holds the homework your therapist gave you, keeps a mood log you can look back on, and saves the thoughts you want to bring up next time so they do not vanish by Thursday. It is not a therapist and will never pretend to be. It is the friend who remembers what you are working on and asks about it.

## What folk handles for you

### daily check-ins that remember

Folk texts once a day and asks how you are, in your words. It remembers yesterday's answer, so it can ask whether the thing you were dreading happened and how it went.

### homework and a mood log

Tell folk what your therapist asked you to practice and it reminds you, then asks how it went. If you want, it keeps a simple mood log and can send a one-line weekly summary before your session.

### notes for next session

Say "remind me to bring this up" and folk saves it. The morning of your appointment it texts you the list, so the important stuff makes it into the room.

## Example conversation

**folk:** Evening check-in. How did today go?

**You:** had the conversation with my mom. it was rough but i did it

**folk:** That was the thing you and Dana have been building toward for three weeks. Rough and done is still done. Want me to add it to Thursday's list so you can unpack it with her?

**You:** yes please

**folk:** Added. I'll send the full list Thursday morning. Be easy on yourself tonight.

## FAQ

### Is folk a replacement for therapy?

No. Folk is a friend that checks in and remembers, built to support the work you are doing with a professional, not replace it. If something sounds like a crisis, folk shares crisis resources and encourages you to reach a real person.

### Who can see what I tell folk?

Nobody. Your conversations live in your own private sandbox, folk never trains on them, and we do not sell them. You can read, edit, or delete any memory from your dashboard at any time.

### Can it send my notes to my therapist?

Folk sends them to you, the morning of your session, so you decide what to share. Nothing goes to anyone else.
