Curio32.0.4

Curio lets users gather notes, research, and project material into a single freeform notebook, then arrange it into visual spaces instead of scattering it across separate files and apps. A project can hold rich-text notes, Markdown, images, PDFs, documents, web links, multimedia, and other related material. Its integrated tools turn that material into mind maps, outlines, lists, tables, index cards, albums, pinboards, and Kanban boards for brainstorming, planning, and organizing work.

Users can add tasks and visual brainstorms, while wikilinks and freeform placement help connect ideas or shape information spatially. Metadata including tags, dates, completion percentages, resources, priority, ratings, and custom cross-references supports finding, tracking, and managing project content. Deep links, synced figures, query-based collections and Kanban boards, and file-backed figure content provide additional ways to connect, filter, and reuse information.

Curio suits designers collecting inspiration and client requirements, writers developing plots and characters, students annotating handouts and research, professors preparing lesson plans, scientists gathering lab results and images, project managers tracking tasks and feature checklists, and programmers planning product features. Each project remains a local file on the Mac, keeping the notebook private and ready for offline work instead of sending it to remote online services. Curio is freeware productivity software with a two-week trial, and its Welcome to Curio project introduces the main features when the program opens.

Version 32.0.4,32041 requires macOS 13 Ventura or later and supports both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs.
