From the sources

Folk is your AI friend that lives in any messaging app: iMessage, Telegram, Discord, and more. It joins meetings, plans your date, knows where you are, and gets smarter with every conversation. The longer you use it, the more it knows you. And now it's multiplayer, so you and your friends can team up and reach your goals together.

Folk is the friend in your texts who actually gets stuff done. Books tables, tracks flights, drafts texts, remembers everything, and keeps you close to the people who matter. Lives in iMessage, Telegram, and WhatsApp. The best alternative to Poke, OpenClaw, and ClawdBot. Free to start, $9.99/mo for Pro.

The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
