an ai that tracks your calories from a text
Yes - text folk what you ate, or snap a photo of your plate; it logs the calories and macros and keeps your running total. No app, no database searching.
Calorie apps die in the friction: the searching, the scanning, the database that never has your meal. Folk is a personal AI calorie tracker that lives in your texts - just tell it what you ate in plain words, or snap a photo of your plate, and it estimates the calories and macros, logs it, and keeps your running total for the day. No app to open, no barcode to scan. It remembers your targets and your usual meals, so it gets faster every day.
how folk does it
log a meal in one text
Just say it: "two eggs, toast with butter, and a coffee," or send a photo of your lunch. Folk estimates the calories and macros and logs it - no searching a database, no scanning.
know where you stand, anytime
Ask "how many calories left today?" and folk gives you your running total against your target, plus protein, carbs, and fat - so you can plan dinner instead of guessing.
it learns your meals and goals
Folk remembers your calorie and macro targets and your go-to meals, so "my usual breakfast" logs instantly. It can also text you a daily recap and nudge you toward your goal.
what it looks like
had a chipotle chicken bowl with rice, beans, cheese and guac
Logged - about 1,050 cal (48g protein, 110g carbs, 44g fat; guac's the big one). That puts you at 1,420 / 2,000 today. You've got ~580 left and you're 30g under on protein - want a high-protein dinner idea?
yeah something easy
Greek yogurt + berries + a scoop of protein, or a quick chicken-and-veg stir-fry (~520 cal, 45g protein). Either lands you right on target. Want me to remember the stir-fry as a go-to?
frequently asked
How accurate are the calorie estimates?
Folk gives solid, practical estimates from what you describe or photograph - enough to stay on track day to day. For exact numbers, give it portion sizes or brands and it'll tighten the estimate.
Do I have to use an app?
No. Folk lives in iMessage, Telegram, and WhatsApp - you just text what you ate. That's the whole point: tracking that's low-friction enough that you actually keep doing it.
Can it remember my goals and meals?
Yes. Folk keeps persistent memory of your calorie and macro targets and your frequent meals, so logging gets faster and recaps get personal. $20/mo for Pro, with a free tier to start.
