Curio Studio: Hobby Workbench
Calm planner for many hobbies
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Launch offer: unlock everything for half price, until 25 November. Your hobbies, kept on your device. No account, no ads, no subscription. Free to start.
Curio Studio is a calm, private home for all the things you love to make, collect and explore.
No account. No ads. No subscription. No tracking. Free to start, and one payment unlocks everything. Your projects, photos and notes stay on your device, and you can export everything whenever you like.
For many interests, and for the deep dives
Some of us flit between a dozen hobbies; some of us vanish into one for days. Curio Studio helps with both. It keeps the big picture of everything you care about in view, so nothing gets forgotten, and gently helps you surface from a hyperfocus when it's time to come back to the rest of your life.
One next step, every time
Each project shows a single next step. Done? The next one appears. Too big? Shrink it. Tell it where you are, at home, at work or outside, and the steps that fit come first.
Every hobby in one place
Each hobby is a Curio with its own projects, collections, tools and materials. Pick from dozens, from miniatures and woodworking to reading, gaming and bird watching, or make your own.
Focus without pressure
Set a focus window, watch the light shift as time passes, and hear a soft chime at the end. No streaks, no scores.
Your collections on display
Books on an oak shelf with their real covers, an army in a walnut case, fossils in a drawer.
A journal, not a scorecard
Look back on months of making, with how it felt, what went well and what got in the way.
Jot it down
Catch a thought, a thing to buy or a reminder before it slips away.
Private by design
Lock it with Face ID. iCloud sync is optional and uses your own iCloud. Optional lookups, like finding a book cover, only send what you ask for, when you ask.
Free to start, pay once to unlock
Use one Curio with three open projects for free, for as long as you like. Jots, focus, the journal, collections, export and iCloud are never limited. One in-app purchase unlocks unlimited Curios and projects for good, and Family Sharing is included. Bought Curio Studio before it went free? Everything is already unlocked. Generated pictures are optional: an online service makes them with picture credits, sold in packs.
Made by someone with far too many hobbies, for everyone who flits between theirs or loses themselves in one.
