FolianX vs Notion
The editor you know — without the lock-in.
FolianX gives you the same blocks and linked pages, with three differences: your export actually works, your data is hosted in France, and you bring your own AI.

The difference that matters
The difference: the AI reading your notes is yours.
The real difference isn't a feature. With FolianX, the assistant reading your notes is the one you already chose — and it reads real structure, not a flat export.
