We Are Appfolk

Thoughtful apps that help to lighten the load

Appfolk is a small app studio focused on building tools that reduce the everyday mental load of life and family admin, giving you back time and energy to spend on what actually matters.

Our Apps

Who’s Free?

Coming soon

Find playdates for your kids and rescue your weekend

You know the feeling: Saturday morning arrives, the kids are restless, and you’ve got nothing planned. Suddenly you’re scrolling through three different WhatsApp groups, sending “fancy a playdate?” messages into the void, hoping someone replies before the day disappears into screen time and disappointment.

Who’s Free? cuts through the noise. It helps parents find available friends and arrange meetups without the group chat chaos. No broadcasting. No waiting. Just quick, quiet coordination so you can get back to actually spending the weekend, instead of managing it.

More apps to help lighten the load are on the way.

About Appfolk

Appfolk is built by someone who gets it. As a parent with a young child, I know firsthand how much mental energy goes into managing family life alongside everything else.

I’m a solo founder with 20 years of software development experience, primarily in social care and user experience. I’ve spent my career understanding how people navigate complex parts of their lives, and I’ve seen how the right tools can make a real difference.

The apps we build come from lived experience and a genuine desire to make everyday life a bit easier. No technical fluff, just practical tools designed with care for the people who’ll use them.

We’re here to have your back, one small mental load at a time.

Get in touch

We’re quietly building in public. If you’d like to know when Who’s Free? launches, or if you just want to share the particular admin task that’s currently draining your Sunday evenings, we’d genuinely love to hear from you.
