You don’t have to choose between enjoying something and understanding it.

    Catch what catches you.

    Type a thought, record a question or take a photo. Add a place when it helps. Capture works even without a signal.

    Come back to an answer.

    Curious researches your question and brings back a clear explanation, with sources to explore when research is needed.

    Follow the next thought.

    Ask a private follow-up. Listen to the answer. Keep it all together in a library you can search later.

Room to be curious

Your questions.
Your own space.

A few useful answers

Before you
get curious.

Can I use it offline?

Yes. Record voice notes, type questions and read saved answers without a connection. Transcription uses on-device speech when available. Research that needs the internet waits until you’re connected.

Can I ask about a photo?

Yes. Take a photo or choose one from your library and add your question. You can also type or record a thought. Photos and location are optional.

Can I share an answer?

Yes. Send a chosen answer through your iPhone’s share sheet. Your follow-up conversation and the rest of your library stay private.

What does it cost?

The launch version is free, with 100 completed external researches included for a verified Apple customer. Daily limits and service availability apply. There are no purchases or subscriptions in this version, and saved questions and answers remain available after that allowance is used.

When and where can I get it?

Curious is coming to the U.S. App Store. It is not publicly available yet. It’s designed for iPhone running iOS 26 or later, in English.

There’s more to the everyday.

Leave room
for wonder.
