The Fokl family gathered round one tablet at the kitchen table, looking at the same list together.

We’re cooking something you’ll want to own.

For years, you’ve made do — bending your life around apps built for everyone except you. FOKL flips that: software that fits your home, because you make it. We’re almost done, and the first taste goes to the list.

You’ve rented software long enough. Soon, you’ll cook your own.

“But isn’t this just another ‘build an app with AI’ tool?”

Short answer: no. Those are made for people who build software — they hand you code, and the rest is your problem. Here’s the difference, in plain words.

The usual way Build an app with AI
  • Built for developers and businesses.
  • Hands you code — you still deploy it, host it, and keep it running.
  • Servers, databases and accounts to wire up first.
  • Your app lives on their cloud, out on the open web.
  • Needs a connection. Your data sits on their servers.
  • To share it, you send people a link — and hope it’s still up next year.
You’re here
The FOKL way Home-cooked software
  • Built for anyone. If you can describe it, you’re done.
  • Hands you a finished tool — ready to use, nothing left to do.
  • Nothing to set up. No servers, no accounts, nothing to install.
  • Your tool lives on your device, not out on the open web.
  • Works offline. Your data never leaves your hands.
  • Hand it to your people in a tap — and it’s theirs to keep too.

They give you the ingredients and a kitchen to rent. FOKL hands you the meal — yours to keep, and to share.

A taste of what you’ll cook up.

  • A chore chart your kids actually check.
  • A trip budget you and your partner both edit.
  • A party game you dreamed up at dinner.
  • A habit tracker that fits your life, not a template.

The earlier you join, the sooner you're in

Your place in line is your place in line — jump it by inviting friends.

You’re not just joining a waitlist. You’re joining a small rebellion.

Against renting your own tools. Against handing your family’s data to strangers. Against bending your life around apps someone else designed. FOKL is for people who’d rather own than rent, and make than settle. If that’s you — you’re already home.

Home-cooked software, for you and yours.

I write software for a living, and my wife and I still couldn’t agree on where to keep a shopping list. Every app was almost right — built for someone else’s home. So one evening I made ours. Handing it to her is the part that changed everything. FOKL is that, for any household.
