The difference that matters
We don't keep our clients' data as hostages. The client's data is the client's data.
The biggest difference isn't a feature — it's the deal. FolianX is built so leaving is easy, your data lives in France, and the AI reading your notes is the one you chose. Portability and sovereignty aren't upsells here; they're the point.
Make the switch on your terms
Start free, keep your export, and never worry about being locked in again.
