Automation for Curio

Curio CLI

Bring your Curio projects to Terminal, scripts, automations, and AI agents.

The separately downloaded curio command-line tool can query, read, update, import, export, and navigate content throughout your projects.

Flexible by design

Two ways to work

Choose live, selection-aware access or inspect a project directly from disk.

curio …

Running app

curio --project …

Direct project
