Discover the creator's recommendations and notes alongside their selected places. Check the guide's details and last update before you buy.
Trip mode
Make the plan your own.
Arrange stops by day, compare routes, and record notes and photos along the way. Saved plans and notes stay with you offline; live maps and fresh place information need a connection.

A good trip starts with a little local knowledge.
The cafe worth a detour. A museum before the crowds. Time to do nothing at all. Start with someone's considered guide, then make room for your own kind of day.
Find your starting point
Explore by city, interests, pace and travel budget. Preview a guide and meet its creator before deciding. Already have saved places? Import a shared Google Maps list.
Make it your day
Choose your dates, arrange stops, add a lunch break and protect a reservation. Compare travel time and timing conflicts before applying a different route.
Go. Keep the memories.
Follow your next stop, check in and keep private notes. Add the photos you choose to your trip journal, then tell the creator what helped.
A plan that understands there is a day around it.
Opening hours, a slower morning, a table you booked. Curio helps you put the pieces together and keeps you in control when the day changes.

Timing, with context
See available opening hours alongside the creator's suggested visiting time, season and reservation advice. Missing hours stay visibly unknown.
A look at the weather
Check an Apple Weather summary for your trip. See when a forecast is available and how fresh it is.
A little help from on-device AI
Ask to adapt a day from a guide you can access. Review the proposed changes before saving. Requires a supported Apple Intelligence device, language and model availability.
The useful kind of reminder
Choose day-start and trip-feedback reminders. Hear about updates to guides you follow or acquired, with notification controls in Settings.
Your trip, in your photos
With your permission, find photo candidates from the time of your trip. Choose what to add; your personal journal stays private.
Share the part you choose
Send a guide preview or an expiring trip link you can revoke. Private notes and photos stay separate, and paid guide access is still protected.
Your idea of a good day is the point.
Tell Curio what you enjoy, how fast you like to travel and what you want to spend on the day. See why a guide fits. Hide suggestions you don't want, undo it or reset your preferences.
- Neighborhood walks
- Nature
- Architecture
- Slow days
Your saved places deserve a day out.
Bring a shared Google Maps list into Curio, review the places and notes, and turn it into your own guide. You can see progress, cancel or retry an import without starting everything over.
Import uses a shared list link. Private or unsupported lists may not be readable.
- Paste your shared list
- Review places and notes
- Build your day
You know a place. Make a guide worth following.
Add the details a pin can't explain: when to visit, how long to stay, what needs a reservation and what to try instead. Publish a free or paid guide, grow a following and improve it with reader feedback.
- A preview that shows who the guide is for
- Updates that respect readers' existing trip plans
- Verified sales, trip activity and payout status
Paid guides are sold individually through the App Store. Your earnings screen shows the applicable commission and payout status.
Before you head out.
Do I need a subscription?
No. Curio is free to download and browse. Some guides are free; each paid guide is purchased separately. The App Store shows your local price before you confirm.
Can I use it without an account?
You can browse as a guest. Sign in to purchase guides and keep your account-backed trips, follows and preferences together.
What works offline?
Saved personal plans and notes remain available offline, and pending changes can sync when you reconnect. Live maps, route calculations, current place details and weather need a connection.
Does a shared link unlock a paid guide?
No. A guide link opens a preview. Trip links show only their permitted share content; they don't grant access to an entire paid source guide or your private photo journal.
Will AI change my itinerary automatically?
No. AI drafts and route alternatives are proposals. You compare them, choose what to apply and save the plan yourself. The regular planner also works when on-device AI is unavailable.
What if my guide is updated?
You can review an available update and choose to adopt it. Your personal notes, photos and confirmed visits are protected; Curio doesn't silently replace your trip.
Ready when you are.
