About

Curium

Read full description

Curium is the feed you leave knowing something new. You already scroll every day. Might as well come out of it more curious. Curium turns knowledge into vertical cards: one idea at a time, and something to tell someone tonight. History, science, geography, art, economics, languages, technology — you pick your topics and your level, and the app builds your feed. HOW IT WORKS • A vertical feed of knowledge cards: you scroll, you learn. • Quick quizzes to check it actually stuck. • "Go deeper" on any card when a topic grabs you. • The Daily Quiz: the same questions for everyone, so you can compare scores with friends. WHAT KEEPS YOU COMING BACK • A daily goal built to last: 4, 6 or 10 cards. • A streak to protect, plus quests and badges to earn. • XP for everything you do, and a weekly league that resets every Monday. • A review queue that brings an idea back just before you'd forget it (spaced repetition). • A mastery bar for each topic: how much of the catalog you've really learned. Because scrolling isn't learning. • A Home Screen and Lock Screen widget: today's question, and your streak. SHARE IT • Turn a card into an image for your story. • Send a friend a challenge: they answer the same question, whether or not they have the app. WITHOUT A SUBSCRIPTION • 4 new lessons a day, plus one more by watching an ad. A lesson you've already opened stays open. • 20 reviews a day. • Beginner and Intermediate levels. • One path a month, yours to keep forever. • Ads. CURIUM+ (OPTIONAL SUBSCRIPTION) • No ads. • Unlimited lessons, and your whole review queue the same day. • Every difficulty level, up to Expert. • Every path: one topic, a known number of cards, and a real ending. • Offline mode: take a path or your reviews on a plane, a subway ride or a vacation. • A streak shield that recharges: miss a few days without losing everything.
