How it works
Listen. Answer. Compare notes.
Qrious turns learning into a small, shared habit. No feeds to scroll, no courses to fall behind on. Just one good lesson waiting when you’re ready.
01
A conversation worth overhearing
Every lesson is a two-host conversation about one idea: why tardigrades can switch life off, what the Stoics meant by letting go, how a single decision reshaped an empire. It’s curious and warm, and it’s honest about what the evidence actually shows.
- About twelve minutes, the length of a walk or a commute
- Keeps playing with your screen locked, with lock-screen controls
- Skip back, change speed, and pick up where you left off
02
Ten quick questions, while it’s fresh
The quiz unlocks when the lesson ends. Answer one question at a time; get it right to earn points, answer quickly for a small bonus. It’s a gentle check on what stuck, not an exam.
- See why each answer is right once you’ve picked
- Keep a run of lessons going for a small points boost
- Revisit any past quiz with the answers shown

See how your people did
Everyone hears the same lesson, so everyone has something to talk about. Your group’s leaderboard ranks the day, the week, or the month. Those who haven’t listened yet are simply “not yet”, never shamed.
- Groups for friends, family, colleagues, or a book club
- Be in as many groups as you like, with one score across all of them
- Your learning record is yours, even if a group closes

Meet your hosts
Four pairs. Real chemistry.
Each field has its own pair: one anchors the idea, the other pushes back. It’s the difference between a lecture and a conversation you want to join.
MZ
Marcus & Zara
Business · Leadership · Psychology
He connects three ideas before you finish the question; she wants to know whose life the theory actually describes.
NL
Nadia & Leon
Science · Economics · Health
She finds the universe almost embarrassingly exciting; he checks whether the study proves what it claims.
PM
Priya & Mateo
Religion · Culture & Art · Books
She meets every belief with open curiosity; he remembers not just what books say, but what they changed.
Designed to be calm
A habit, not a compulsion.
Most apps compete for your attention. Qrious asks for twelve minutes, then lets you get on with your day.
One quiet nudge
A single reminder when a new lesson is ready, at the time you pick. Nothing more.
A library you can leaf through
Every lesson you’ve missed or loved is there, by the day it aired. Re-listen any time.
No shame, no alarms
Streaks count lessons, not calendar days, so a day without a new lesson never breaks your run. Those yet to listen are “not yet”, never behind.
Better with friends
Bring your people along.
Start a group for the friends who send you articles, the family chat, or the team at work. Learning sticks better when there’s someone to talk it over with.
- Create a group in the app and give it a name.
- Share the invite link wherever you already talk.
- Friends tap it to join, or type the code after installing.
Questions
Good to know.
How long is a lesson?
About twelve minutes: long enough to properly get into one idea, short enough for a commute, a walk, or a coffee.
How often do new lessons come out?
A new lesson arrives every couple of days, and you'll get one quiet nudge when it's ready, at a time you choose. Every past lesson stays in your library, sorted by the day it aired.
Who are the hosts?
A cast of eight recurring hosts, paired by field, each with their own character and way of thinking. One anchors the idea, the other pushes back, and both are honest about what the evidence does and doesn’t show.
How does scoring work?
The quiz unlocks once you’ve listened. Each correct answer earns points, with a small bonus for answering quickly and a gentle boost for keeping a run of lessons going. Scores are locked in once you finish, so the leaderboard stays fair.
Do I need a group?
No. Qrious works perfectly well on your own. A group just adds a reason to keep showing up together: create one in a tap, share the link, and friends join straight from it.
What do I need to get started?
An iPhone or an Android phone. You sign in with Apple or Google, so there’s no new password to remember.
Your first lesson is waiting.
Twelve minutes, ten questions, and something new to bring up at dinner.
