Curiouser: Presence & Wonder

Take an awe walk: fifteen minutes outside, with a few gentle prompts dripped along the way — things to notice, wherever you happen to be. In a UCSF study (Sturm et al., Emotion, 2020), short weekly awe walks measurably lifted wellbeing. Curiouser turns that research into a one-tap ritual: phone in pocket, eyes up.

Between walks, Curiouser taps you on the shoulder a few times a day and points your attention back at the world.

No feed to scroll. No streak to keep. No account to make. Just a gentle notification, now and then, with one small invitation to notice something you'd stopped seeing.

“Look up.” · “What's the oldest thing you can see right now?” · “Notice the exact color of the light in this room.”

Each nudge is a curiosity prompt — a tiny doorway back into presence, wonder, and the ordinary astonishing world. Some point at your senses, some re-see the familiar, some zoom out to the scale of things. All of them pull attention outward, not inward.

HOW IT WORKS • Choose how many nudges a day, and the hours you want them • Choose the voices you'd like to hear — gentle, playful, spacious, or all three • Read the prompt, look up, carry on — or tap “quiet for an hour / today” right from the notification • Want more than a nudge? Take a 15-minute awe walk — prompts arrive as you go

CALM BY DESIGN • No feed, no likes, no streaks, no gamification • A living sky behind every prompt — the sun and moon at their real positions for your time of day, moon in its true phase • Home-screen widget + Apple Watch glance · at home on iPhone and iPad, portrait or landscape

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT • No account, no sign-in, no tracking, no analytics — everything runs on your device • Your location is never requested; the sky is drawn from your time zone alone

Share a prompt as a small, pretty card when one lands just right. Curiosity is a muscle — this is a gentle way to use it.
