How it works
The whole family, on the same page.
- 1
Send it in
Snap a photo of the letter, forward the email, or upload a scan. From any phone.
- 2
We read and sort it
Bills, Medicare notices, insurance statements, benefits letters, renewals. Each one gets labeled with who sent it, how much, and when it's due.
- 3
We remember and check
Every line of every Medicare notice is saved. Months later, each bill is checked against it for duplicates and charges they don't owe.
- 4
We draft, you call and send
When something's wrong you get a dispute letter and a phone script. You make the call and send the letter; nothing goes out without you.
- 5
Nothing slips
Every deadline lands on a shared calendar, with one person assigned to each item.
- 6
Everyone's in the loop
Every Sunday, everyone helping gets one email: what came in, what's handled, what's due, and money saved.
Why we're building Folkswise
Taking care of their mail is taking care of them.
Caring for someone you love comes with a pile of paper: bills, Medicare notices, insurance letters. It usually lands on one person, while the family asks “did anyone pay this?”
Folkswise puts it all in one place the whole family can share.
Easy to help
Snap a photo or forward an email. Anyone in the family can add a letter.
Every letter understood
Each letter is explained in plain English, with what matters highlighted: whether to pay, how much, and by when.
Nothing gets lost
Due dates and calls go on one shared calendar, and everyone gets a Sunday update.
