folkways
hire a mini folk in one tap - small, installable behaviors like a morning brief, a daily verse, or a PR watch.
a folkway is a small, pre-built behavior you can add to your Folk in one tap: a routine, its schedule, and any connections it needs, bundled into a single install.
think of it as hiring a tiny specialist that lives inside your Folk.
some favorites
- morning brief - your schedule, weather, and inbox highlights, every day before you're out of bed
- daily verse - a verse and a short reflection each morning
- PR watch - pings you when pull requests need your review

installing one
tap install on any folkway and it's live - schedule and all. no setup wizard. if a folkway needs an app connected (say, GitHub for PR watch), Folk walks you through connecting it in chat.
you can also just ask:
set me up with a morning brief
managing them
see everything you've installed in your dashboard, where you can pause, tweak the schedule, or remove a folkway entirely. or handle it in chat:
pause my morning brief while I'm on vacation
create & earn
folkways aren't just installable - they're buildable, and creators get paid. describe a routine to your Folk and it becomes a folkway with its own share link:
make me a folkway that texts me the best flight deals to tokyo every morning
- and give me the link so I can share it
the link works instantly - anyone who taps it gets the same setup in one tap, even if they've never used folk before.
what creators earn
| event | you earn |
|---|---|
| someone NEW joins folk through your link, subscribes, and actually uses it | $10 cash (regional/student pricing: $2) |
| a paying subscriber actively runs your folkway | $1/month, per subscriber, for as long as they run it |
no minimums, no payout floor - your first customer pays out for real. rewards clear after a ~1-week hold (refund window), then pay to the same payout account as referrals - set it up once at folk.com/dashboard/referrals, or take unpaid cash as folk credit instead.
a few honest rules:
- folkways made by the folk team don't earn anything
- installing your own folkway, or signups that never subscribe, earn $0
- refunds claw the reward back; fake-account farming doesn't clear the paid-and-active bar
rates are program policy and can change - this page is always the current source of truth.
getting into the gallery
your share link needs no review. a listing in the public folkways gallery is opt-in and curated: ask your Folk to submit it ("submit my flight-deals folkway to the gallery") and the folk team reviews it - usually within a few days. the link keeps working either way.
