      ab: Background: Participating in exercise following a stroke is essential for recovery. When community‐based rehabilitation services end, some people struggle to remain active. We codesigned Keeping Active with Texting After Stroke (KATS), a text message intervention to support home‐based, self‐directed plans to continue exercising. KATS delivers a series of automated text messages over a 12‐week period from the point of discharge from National Health Service‐funded therapy. The aim of this study was to explore the views and experiences of the first cohort of participants to complete the KATS intervention about the meaning, engagement, workability and worth of the intervention. Methods: We undertook a qualitative study, theoretically informed by Normalisation Process Theory. We conducted semi‐structured telephone interviews with people with stroke from two Health Boards in Scotland. Data collection took place over two phases, with each participant being interviewed twice: first, halfway through intervention delivery (Week 6) and then again at the end of the intervention (Week 12). All interviews were audio‐recorded, transcribed and analysed thematically. Results: A total of 24 interviews were conducted with 12 participants. Our findings were organised around four overarching analytical themes: (1) making sense of KATS: timing and complementarity in the rehabilitation journey; (2) engaging with KATS: connection and identification with others; (3) making KATS work: flexibility and tailorable guidance; (4) appraising the worth of KATS: encouragement and friendliness. Participants differentiated KATS from current rehabilitation practice, finding it relevant, fitting and worthwhile. Variations were reported in engagement with behaviour change techniques, but participants were able to tailor KATS use, making it work for them in different ways. Conclusions: Perceived benefits went beyond promoting physical activity, including feeling supported and connected. Future research will test the effectiveness of KATS in promoting physical activity and explore any associations with relevant social and emotional secondary outcomes. Patient or Public Contribution: A research funding proposal was developed in collaboration with five people with stroke and three spouses. After securing funding, six people with stroke were invited to join the project's Collaborative Working Group, alongside health professionals and stroke rehabilitation experts, to codevelop the intervention and support the feasibility study.
