Hacker News Tech Reader - HACK

HACK reads Hacker News threads with account posting, search, customization and reply notifications.

Our take

Consider for established HN readers

Nested comments, Algolia search and compact layouts support long discussions.

Keep in mind: It is an independent client; AI-post blocking is a setting, not verified reliable authorship detection. Archive and older browser integrations may change.

What you can do

  • Browse/collapse threads and search
  • Use an HN account for voting/posting
  • Customize layout and eligible reply alerts

Good for

  • Readers wanting a configurable HN mobile client

Consider alternatives for

  • Users expecting official moderation or guaranteed AI detection

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 15.0.
  • It is an independent client; AI-post blocking is a setting, not verified reliable authorship detection. Archive and older browser integrations may change.

Privacy & permissions

Publisher states no intrusive trackers/analytics and runs favicon/notification servers; linked articles and HN/Algolia accounts remain separate data paths.
