Mark, thank you for the notice—and the loss of sleep!—I stayed up many hours too late just to play with the new version of Curio ;-)

I have used Curio since its first release, and I continue to be delighted by every new version. The developer, George Browning, in my opinion is among the top tier of the group of independent creators of Mac software—along with Keith Blount (Scrivener) and Criss Grunenberg (DEVONthink and DEVONagent). After spending a few hours with Curio 9, I agree with Mark’s assessment that Curio 9 is evolutionary. The interface is much more refined and seems to incorporate the design elements of Mavericks with more polish, understanding, and care than Apple does with its own products. But I don’t want to imply there are no new features—the release notes are extensive and the feature set is richer than before. It will take much more time to explore the product. I’ll be interested to read others’ impressions, too.
