Folk is a free, fully local AI agent that can read and write your files, connect to external services, and handle complex multi-step tasks — all running on your machine with zero cloud dependency.
No API keys. No subscriptions. No data leaving your laptop.
Your data never leaves your machine. No cloud calls, no telemetry, no tracking. What happens in Folk stays in Folk.
Folk can read, write, and organize files in your workspace. Scoped by default, with dialog-gated access to files outside.
