> 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

browse the full catalog at [folk.com/folkways](https://folk.com/folkways).

## 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](https://folk.com/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](/docs/referrals) - set it up once at
[folk.com/dashboard/referrals](https://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](https://folk.com/folkways) 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.

> **made something good?**
>
  share the link anywhere - group chats, X, TikTok. every real customer it
  brings pays you, automatically.
