This is the most universal and powerful application I have come across. Within a single interface, objects and “items” of almost all multimedia types (e-portfolio “artifacts”) can be drag-and-dropped, copy-pasted, organised, distributed, scaled, linked, controlled using Applescript….. in fact what can’t be done with Curio? Most importantly, it is “intuitive”.
I have also been using it for everything, including publishing, researching, documenting web searches, portfolios of work, web page design, presentations, as whiteboard software, and I recommend it for preparing any e-portfolio.
I must also agree with Angela’s last comment: definitely THE reason for getting a Mac. There is nothing else close.

I love Curio. I use it for everything, particularly for keeping track of my sites and blogs. Rather than having separate files (and forgetting that I even created a “To Do” file for a site in many cases) I keep everything in Curio.

It’s my most-used app — and it’s a reason to get a Mac if you’re trapped in Windows world.

It took me about a week to get into the basics of it but as soon as you can figure that out it’s great.

One of the features I like the most that wasn’t mentioned is that you can create buttons that instantly opens up it’s own little browser – works very good if you are doing a mind map.

The inspector tool opens up a ton of possibilities as you can create actions for what ever object you place on the “whiteboard”.

One of the best applications you can get for OS X right now.

Is it wrong to look at this like some kind of Microsoft OneNote-killer?

Anway: judging from both this review and their website this looks like an awfully complex piece of software.
