Wormhole is a personalized knowledge app that makes learning feel like falling down a rabbit hole in the best way possible. Pick topics you care about. Every day, your feed fills with fascinating facts, curated just for you. Science, history, psychology, art, mythology or whatever corner of the world you're curious about. Then tap Wormhole. From any fact, two keywords surface. You pick one. A new fact appears. Two more paths open. You choose again. Five steps later, you've traveled from negativity bias to antifreeze proteins to cumulonimbus clouds and you have no idea how you got there. That's the point.

Mindio
Read full descriptionHide full description
Mindio is a daily learning companion for the curious. Five minutes a day with a primary text, a painting, a body practice, or a virtue worth thinking about β read, reflect, and slowly build a small library of figures and traditions that stay with you. Most learning apps treat your mind like a leaderboard. Mindio treats it like a garden. β THE FOUR PIECES β Every day you'll spend a little time across four small modules. The mix is gentle, the order is yours. INTELLECT β A short passage from a primary source. Plato, Confucius, Marcus Aurelius, the Mahabharata, Gilgamesh, the Analects, Ibn Tufayl, Murasaki Shikibu, the Tao Te Ching. One excerpt at a time. One question to chew on. AESTHETIC β A single artwork, presented slowly. Hokusai, Vermeer, Cassatt, Klimt, Song landscape, Mughal miniature, Egyptian relief. You'll look closely, read a paragraph of context, and write down what you noticed. BODY β A few minutes of movement, paired with the day's HealthKit data. No streak shaming, no calorie tracking. Just a quiet nudge to move. CHARACTER β Franklin's thirteen virtues, rotated week by week. A short reflection prompt and a way to mark how today went. β HOW IT WORKS β A passage. A question. Your real answer, in your own words. A short conversation back β never grading, never "correct" or "wrong," just a thoughtful follow-up that helps you read more carefully. Then a collectible β a small figure from the tradition you just spent time with β joins your collection. Over the months your cast grows: Socrates and Confucius, Lao Tzu and Marcus, Murasaki and Hafez, Vermeer and Hokusai. A library you built one short reading at a time. β WHY PRIMARY SOURCES β Every passage and every artwork in Mindio is from the public domain or a freely licensed translation. No paywalled summaries, no AI book reports. You'll read what Plato actually wrote, look at the painting Vermeer actually made. We built the reading list from what the world's great universities and the big literary anthologies keep coming back to β and then added the traditions those lists tend to overlook. It ranges across Greek philosophy, Confucian and Daoist classics, Persian poetry, Japanese diaries, the great Indian epics, and the canon of pre-modern art. β WHAT IT'S NOT β No syllabus, no final exam. Wander off for a week and come back whenever β nothing's waiting to scold you. No feed, no follower counts, no leaderboard breathing down your neck. Just you and the ideas, and your progress is nobody's business but yours. No endless scroll. The day's piece is short on purpose: when you're done, you're done, and the app is glad you came. β PRIVACY β Your reflections are private. Your HealthKit data stays on your device unless you choose to record it. We don't sell anything to anyone β Mindio is built to be a quiet daily room you visit, not a feed that visits you. β WHO IT'S FOR β If you've been meaning to read more classics and never quite get there. If you find yourself reaching for your phone and wishing you were reaching for something else. If you'd like to know one more thing about a painting next time you walk past it. If five minutes a day sounds like the right amount. Start with whatever sounds good today.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mindio at none against Wormhole's 6. Mindio also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days). Wormhole's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
