Even create brainstorming diagrams right on the page with Curio’s flowcharting and mind mapping shapes. Include content from web browsers or from Sleuth, Curio’s integrated research assistant. Pressure-sensitive brushes allow you to sketch out your ideas, and Curio’s dossier helps you define your project goals.
