Studio Curriculum Suite
Each Curriculum app is a complete four-year course in one subject, taught in the order a degree sequence teaches it. A hundred lessons of fifteen to twenty-five minutes, on-device narration, hundreds of cross-linked glossary terms, sixty biographical profiles, twenty quizzes with worked explanations, and eighteen case files that reconstruct the landmark work. The editorial rule is the same in every app: state the number, name the source, and where the field genuinely disagrees, teach the disagreement rather than picking a side.

Four years of Western philosophy, from the Presocratics to now.
Wundt to fMRI — including the studies that failed to replicate.
Molecules to ecosystems — and the numbers textbooks get wrong.
Smith to Piketty, with the live disagreements taught as disagreements.
Soil to climate policy, separating the settled from the contested.
Contact to the drone war, including the parts that get left out.
// what every app in the family does
A full degree-shaped sequence, 15 to 25 minutes a lesson, in the order the subject is actually taught.
Listen instead of read. Narration uses the system speech synthesizer, so no audio ever leaves the phone.
Hundreds of terms, each linked back to the lessons that use it and forward to the ones that build on it.
18 landmark studies, experiments or episodes reconstructed in full, each listing the record it rests on.
The scheduler brings back the terms you keep forgetting, on the interval that makes them stick.
Three Home Screen widgets — a quote, a term and a figure — each rotating daily.

The first ten lessons. One purchase of $9.99 unlocks the remaining ninety and everything else, permanently, with Family Sharing enabled.
No. The app makes no network connections of any kind. Every lesson, profile, glossary entry, quiz and case study is bundled in the download, which is why the download is large.
No. It is a self-study course written to the level of a university survey sequence. It carries no accreditation and grants no credit.
Every effect size, sample size and date in a lesson is stated so it can be checked. Case files list the specific record they rest on. Where a familiar textbook figure is wrong, the lesson gives the real one and explains why it moved.
Progress, bookmarks and notes are stored on-device and are included in an encrypted iPhone or iCloud device backup. Restoring that backup onto the new phone brings them across. There is no account-based sync.
