Curatio

Curatio is a utility app for iPhone and iPad that filters incoming SMS messages with AI. It sorts every text message a user receives into one of three groups, Transactional, Promotional or Spam, and does so for each new message without any previous instructions or training by the user. Curatio is sold on the App Store as a one-time purchase and is available in Spanish and English.

Two optional settings shape what reaches the inbox. One keeps only two-factor authentication codes, so verification messages come through while everything else is filtered. The other sends all promotional messages to Junk. Transactional messages are further categorized as Carrier, Orders, or Health & Public Services. Curatio does this classification as messages arrive, so a user does not build rules or keyword lists.

Curatio costs $ 49.900,00 on the Colombian App Store as a single purchase rather than a subscription. It requires iOS 17.2 or iPadOS 17.2 or later, downloads at under half a megabyte, and supports Family Sharing so up to six family members can use one purchase. The developer, Andres J Ochoa S, states that the app collects no data at all.

Use cases

• Receiving only two-factor authentication codes while other SMS is filtered out
• Keeping promotional SMS out of the inbox by sending it to Junk
• Separating carrier notices, order updates and health or public-service messages from marketing
