Your child's AI learning companion

Yes — safety is the core of the design. Every conversation passes through QuadShield, four independent layers of protection: a keyword filter, an AI classifier that screens every question, image screening, and age-tuned answers. Unsafe content is blocked before it ever reaches your child.

ChatGPT is built for adults and assumes an adult is reading the answer. CurioKids is built the other way round: every question passes through QuadShield's four safety layers, answers are tuned to one of three age brackets, and a passcode-protected parent area lets you see what's being asked. There's no account to create, and chat history never leaves the device.

It's blocked before it reaches the AI, and it's logged for you. The keyword filter and AI classifier screen every question, and anything flagged appears in your parent area, so you can see what was asked and talk about it if you want to.

Answers are generated by Google's Gemini AI, accessed through our own secure server and wrapped in our QuadShield safety system. Your child's questions are used only to generate the reply — they are never stored on our servers, and the AI provider does not use them to train its models.

Almost none. Your child's name, chat history, and settings are stored only on your device — we can't see them. The only thing we collect is an anonymous daily message count, which is not linked to any personal information. No accounts, no ads, no tracking. CurioKids is COPPA compliant.

No account — no sign-up, no email, nothing to remember. An internet connection is needed to answer questions, because the AI runs on our server, but your child's name, chat history and settings never leave the device.

With homework photos, that's your call. On Premium, your child can send a photo of their homework and Curio checks it, and in Parent controls → Homework help you choose how it answers. Hints only, the default, marks each answer and points to the step with the mistake — without giving the corrected answer — so your child finds the fix. Full explanations shows the worked steps and the correct answers instead. If your child is still stuck after three tries, a “Show full explanation” button appears, and by default it asks for your passcode. Typed problems in the Math Tutor are worked through step by step rather than just answered, and your parent area lists every question by category, so you can see how it's being used.

The interface is fully localized into English, Simplified Chinese and Spanish, and answers follow whichever language your child writes in. There's also a dedicated Chinese Tutor for children learning Mandarin, which explains in the language the child understands and always pairs a character with its pinyin and meaning.

Free includes 5 questions per day, 3 chat threads, all six learning modes (General Chat, Math Tutor, Reading Tutor, Science Tutor, History Tutor, and Chinese Tutor), voice input, and streaks & badges. Premium adds unlimited questions, camera input, Wikipedia images, and all themes — $3.99/month or $39.99/year with a 1-month free trial. Going Premium also helps us keep improving CurioKids and cover the real cost of answering every question.

Because every answer has a real cost. Each question your child asks is processed by a powerful AI model, and we pay for the computing behind every single reply. Rather than cover that cost with ads or by selling data — something we will never do in a kids' app — we offer a free daily allowance and ask families who want unlimited learning to support the app through Premium.

Through Apple, like any App Store subscription: Settings → your name → Subscriptions → CurioKids → Cancel Subscription. You keep Premium until the end of the period you have already paid for.

Yes. A parent area protected by your passcode lets you set your child's age bracket, adjust content filters, and follow their learning in detail: weekly statistics, a monthly report, a breakdown of questions asked by category, and any flagged questions to review.

Ages 5–13, across three brackets: 5–7, 8–10, and 11–13. Answers are automatically tuned to your child's reading level and comprehension — a 6-year-old and a 12-year-old asking the same question get very different explanations.

CurioKids is available for iPhone and iPad running iOS 17.6 or later. Download it free on the App Store.
