Flagship · Curations

A quick lesson on every source, then the deep dive.

A curation is a short path through articles, videos and books on one subject. Every source gets a quick microlesson: a few sentences on what it adds, so you know why it is there. Premium's Focus Time rewards the minutes you spend with them, and quizzes solidify your learning.

Quick Check · 2–3 questionsFocus Quiz · 5 questions

Two checks, two jobs.

A Quick Check tests the lessons you just read. A Focus Quiz tests the whole path, every source included.

Quick Check
Right after the lessons.

Two or three questions written from the microlessons you just read, with instant feedback. It takes a minute and shows what landed.

  • Free: one a day, counted on your own calendar day
  • Premium: unlimited
Focus Quiz
Once you’ve finished the source material.

Five questions from every source in the curation. Pass it and the curation is marked Quizzed, with a certificate to share.

  • Free: your first one
  • Premium: unlimited

Two ways to explore your interests: Curations and Curiate's Feed. One is a short path that ends somewhere. The other is a feed you steer, that stops when you do.

A feed that has a bottom.

A focused set of results, not a bottomless scroll. Roll a fresh set whenever you choose to keep going.

Focus Time · Premium

Give credit to your focus.

Most apps reward you for scrolling. Focus Time rewards sustained attention: Curiate measures the time you actually spend on each topic, and counts the books you finish, so what you know is backed by what you gave your attention to.

The library is free. Always.

Most learning apps put the content behind the subscription. Curiate does the opposite: everything to read, watch and finish is open to everyone, and the subscription buys features that sit on top of it.

Blinkist and Imprint
The subscription IS the content.
  • Paying is what unlocks the library
  • What you get is a summary of the book, not the book
  • Stop paying and the shelf closes
Curiate
The subscription is everything except the content.
  • Every article, video and book is free to browse, search and save
  • A quick microlesson to start, and the original one tap away
  • Premium adds focus time, a daily goal and streak, unlimited Quick Checks and Focus Quizzes, and custom-built curations from books you choose

You hold the dial.

Every mode is a distance from what you already like. Turn it as far as you want.

Questions, answered.

The whole library is, permanently. Every article, video and book is free to browse, search and save, and so is your knowledge map. A premium subscription adds extra features on top, such as Focus Time and unlimited Quick Checks and Focus Quizzes, but it never buys you access to anything to read.
