[Curator - visual thinking](http://vimeo.com/78068364?ref=protein.xyz) from [Curator & Co](http://vimeo.com/curatorapp?ref=protein.xyz) on [Vimeo](https://vimeo.com/?ref=protein.xyz).

Ah, curation. The [nebulous](http://www.phaidon.com/agenda/art/articles/2011/september/09/a-brief-history-of-the-word-curator/?ref=protein.xyz) act of mindful collection once the reserve of high-minded institutions is now a buzzword used liberally for choosing and organising of any sort. Zeitgeist-y semantics aside, we all need to do quite a bit of sorting and organising these days – call it what you will, sifting through gluts of noise and information can be downright daunting. Enter [Curator](http://curator.co/?ref=protein.xyz), the refreshingly straightforward new iOS app that makes gathering images into crisp mood boards significantly more intuitive than it has perhaps ever been.  
  
Operating something like a simplified Pinterest-on-the-fly, the handsome tool looks to be a minor godsend for any working creative who might need to quickly communicate an idea more effectively than might be possible with a sketch or words. With direct links to any number of sources – Flickr, Facebook, Instagram, Dropbox, etc. – users are able to aggregate found images into clear ideas with minimal effort. And Curator doubles as a powerful presentation tool, eliminating the need for a separate app to show off your vision.   
  
Curator is yet another step in a trend towards radical simplification we’ve been keeping an eye on, in which application and interfaces reduce a given function to its essence to make for powerful, no-fuss tools. The minimalist (and laconic) news platform [Circa](http://cir.ca/?ref=protein.xyz) has grown dramatically over the past few months, and on the feed we’ve recently seen the likes [Offiline](https://www.prote.in/en/feed/2013/12/offline?ref=protein.xyz), which whittles your daily consumable content down to one quality hour, as well as [Durr](https://www.prote.in/en/feed/2014/01/durr?ref=protein.xyz), a haptic watch with no hands to guide users in maximising the usable time in their days.
