What’s new
Version 3.0 · Updated September 9, 2026
HackerWatch 3.0 is a ground-up redesign built for quick, purposeful reading from your wrist. WHAT'S NEW • Six feeds: Top, New, Best, Ask HN, Show HN, and Jobs. • Search Hacker News with dictation or Scribble. • Works offline. Stories and comments are cached, so the app opens instantly and updates in the background. • Upvote stories and comments when you're logged in. • Save stories for later. Your Saved list works without a connection. • Read history dims stories you've already seen, and you can clear it anytime. • Pocket Briefing: an optional five-story snapshot of stories. • Long comment threads remember where you left off. FIXED • Stories now appear in Hacker News order instead of a random order. • Comment threads read top to bottom in the order Hacker News ranks them. • Job posts open correctly. • Losing your connection shows a clear message with a retry instead of a blank screen. • Quotes, slashes, and other special characters in comments display correctly.
