Most feeds are built to keep you scrolling. Curiate is built to widen what you know and reward your personal learning journey. Pick a few interests. Get a focused set of articles, videos, and books tuned to your curiosity. Save what catches your eye. Watch a living map of your knowledge grow. Roll a fresh set of results whenever you're ready to keep going. No endless scroll. No ads. No attention auctions. Just a calmer way to be curious. CURATIONS: OUR FLAGSHIP FEATURE A Curation is a short guided path on a single theme: a few pieces in an order that builds understanding, ending at the book worth arriving at. Browse the whole public library, free. Get one matched to your interests whenever you want. Build your own, or comment on someone else's. FOCUS QUIZZES Finish a Curation, then take a five-question quiz on what you just learned. The first is free; Premium makes them unlimited. FOCUS TIME: WHAT YOU LEARNED, NOT WHAT YOU SPENT Screen time tells you what you lost. Curiate counts the same minutes and tells you what you gained: real hours per topic, a daily goal you set yourself, and a streak of the days you met it. • Counted per topic, so you can see where your attention actually went • Under a minute doesn't count, so glances never become hours • Goals start at five minutes, because a real goal is one you can keep • Read something elsewhere and come back, and that time is credited • Books are counted, not timed REPLACE THE INFINITE SCROLL WITH A CURIOUS ROLL Curiate's feed gives you a focused set of results, not a bottomless pit. Reach a natural stopping point and get on with your day, or roll a fresh set whenever you want to keep going. A RECOMMENDATION ENGINE THAT BROADENS Curiate surfaces topics next to your interests instead of copies of them. Switch modes whenever you want: • Normal: your personalized feed based on your interests • Shift: adjacent topics, for variety without leaving your lane • Flip: a totally different view, for when you want to break out of your bubble • Friend: a peek at what we'd recommend to one of your friends THREE TRACKS, YOUR MOOD Separate feeds for articles, videos, and books. Open the one that fits how you feel right now. A KNOWLEDGE MAP THAT GROWS WITH YOU Everything you save builds a living map of your curiosity. Watch new topics connect into what you already know, and see each subject climb its own ladder as you read into it: Curious, Explorer, Apprentice, Graduate, Doctorate, Curator. Your level reflects depth of knowledge, not time spent on the app. SHARE WHAT YOU FIND Add your friends and send an article, video, book, or a whole Curation straight to the people whose taste you trust. SUPPORTING INDEPENDENT BOOKSTORES Book links go through Bookshop.org, which shares every sale with independent local bookstores. Buying supports Curiate and a bookstore near you. FREE, AND YOURS TO CONTROL Discovery, your knowledge map, your levels and the whole public library of Curations are free, for good. Premium adds personal Curations generated on demand from what you've saved, unlimited Focus Quizzes, and focus time: hours per topic, a daily goal and your streak. No ads. No data sold. Your activity improves your own discovery and nothing else. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Curiate Premium is $1.99 per month, auto-renewing. Unlocks personal Curations, generated on demand from your own interests, unlimited Focus Quizzes, and focus time tracking. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase.
