Your Feed, Your Interests
The more you read, like, and bookmark, the smarter your feed gets. Stories are tagged and ranked by what you actually care about.
500 Comments? No Problem.
AI summaries distil long threads into key takeaways in seconds. Choose Apple Intelligence, bring your own API key, or turn it off entirely.
Never Lose a Great Post
Save stories to your reading list with one tap. Come back to them whenever you're ready.
No Signal? No Problem.
Set your commute times and Hacker Flow downloads top stories, comments, and articles over Wi-Fi before you leave. Read everything offline.
Choose Your AI Provider
Use Apple Intelligence, bring your own API key from OpenAI or Google Gemini, or skip AI entirely. Your keys are stored on-device and never touch our servers.
