Getting started
The first run takes about a minute. Folko asks what you will use it for, then shows you where each of those things lives.
How to do it
- Open Folko. A short intro explains the idea: tap Next, or Skip.
- Tick the box that confirms you are 18 or older and accept the Terms. Then sign in with your email, with Google, or with Apple on an iPhone. There is no password.
- With email, Folko sends a 6-digit code. Type it on Check your email.
- Enter Your name. It is how you appear in shared cashbooks.
- Answer What will you use Folko for? Pick as many as you like, such as My own money, Home & bills or Trips. Tap Continue, or Skip for now.
- Create your first cashbook. The Getting started card then appears on Home with your next steps.
The Getting started card
The card shows up to three tasks at a time, chosen from your answers: log your income, set a budget, start a trip, invite someone. A task is done once you open its place. Your first cashbook and your first transaction count when you create them.
The first time you open some screens, a short tip explains what they do. Close it and it does not come back.
Bring it back
- Tap your avatar at the top of Home to open Profile.
- Under Preferences, tap Getting started.
The card returns to Home with your earlier answers and progress.
Power-user tips
- Your answers stay on this phone. They only change which tasks and tips you see.
- Tap Hide to put the card away. When every task is done it says You're all set.
- Coming from Splitwise? You can import a group when you create a cashbook. See Import from Splitwise.
Still stuck? Email support@folko.io or see Support. A person from the Folko team will answer.
