Take an awe walk: fifteen minutes outside, with a few gentle prompts dripped along the way — things to notice, wherever you happen to be. In a UCSF study (Sturm et al., Emotion, 2020), short weekly awe walks measurably lifted wellbeing. Curiouser turns that research into a one-tap ritual: phone in pocket, eyes up. Between walks, Curiouser taps you on the shoulder a few times a day and points your attention back at the world. No feed to scroll. No streak to keep. No account to make. Just a gentle notification, now and then, with one small invitation to notice something you'd stopped seeing. “Look up.” · “What's the oldest thing you can see right now?” · “Notice the exact color of the light in this room.” Each nudge is a curiosity prompt — a tiny doorway back into presence, wonder, and the ordinary astonishing world. Some point at your senses, some re-see the familiar, some zoom out to the scale of things. All of them pull attention outward, not inward. HOW IT WORKS • Choose how many nudges a day, and the hours you want them • Choose the voices you'd like to hear — gentle, playful, spacious, or all three • Read the prompt, look up, carry on — or tap “quiet for an hour / today” right from the notification • Want more than a nudge? Take a 15-minute awe walk — prompts arrive as you go CALM BY DESIGN • No feed, no likes, no streaks, no gamification • A living sky behind every prompt — the sun and moon at their real positions for your time of day, moon in its true phase • Home-screen widget + Apple Watch glance · at home on iPhone and iPad, portrait or landscape PRIVATE BY DEFAULT • No account, no sign-in, no tracking, no analytics — everything runs on your device • Your location is never requested; the sky is drawn from your time zone alone Share a prompt as a small, pretty card when one lands just right. Curiosity is a muscle — this is a gentle way to use it. ## Version history (last 4 releases) ### 1.4 — 2026-08-13 THREE VOICES Gentle, Playful, Spacious — keep as many as you like. Each one shows an example, so you can hear the difference before you choose. All three are on to begin with; choosing is optional. REAL iPAD LAYOUTS Rotate freely at last. Landscape sets the words against the hills and gives the sky room to be a sky. Split View works too. SMALL THINGS • “Once a day” instead of “About 1 times a day” • The hour steppers now sit beside the hours they change • Replay the welcome screen anytime, from Settings ### 1.3 — 2026-08-04 AWE WALK — tap “Take an awe walk” for fifteen minutes of walking with a few gentle prompts along the way, after the UCSF awe-walk research (Sturm et al., Emotion, 2020). Phone in pocket, eyes up. A soft note marks the end. No tracking, no stats — just walking and noticing. Also in this update: • 26 new prompts across two packs — personal empathy and interpersonal awareness (“Next time someone smiles at you, wonder what they're thinking”) • The widget no longer repeats prompts unnaturally • Small wording refinements throughout ### 1.1 — 2026-07-29 A calmer, more varied widget — it now rolls through the whole prompt library instead of circling back to the same few. Plus a fresh set of prompts about the people you cross paths with, a Rate option and version number in Settings, and a couple of small wording fixes. Thank you for being here. ### 1.0 — 2026-07-29 No release notes. ## More apps by Kaolin Fire - [Disasteroids](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/disasteroids/id597732296) - [Saintify](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/saintify/id608804799) - [BabyPaints](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/babypaints/id698390611) - [Spot The Hustle](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/spot-the-hustle/id880531375) - [FractRoam](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/fractroam/id1043441882) - [Timeful](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/timeful/id1153735066) All apps by Kaolin Fire: https://appshunter.io/developer/506161943 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
