Hacker News Reader - Kuokka

Kuokka is a Hacker News reader with keyword watchlists, instant story summaries, offline reading and home screen widgets — built for people who read HN every day.

Set Radar to watch the keywords, domains and authors you care about, and Kuokka checks Hacker News around the clock so you do not have to. Summarize a long article in a tap. Save what matters and read it on the train with no signal.

📡 RADAR WATCHLISTS
Monitor keywords, domains, authors and whole sections.
- Set up a watchlist in seconds with presets or your own filters
- Matched stories land in your Radar feed automatically
- Radar digests round up your top matches on a schedule (Free: evening. Premium: morning, lunch and evening)
- Share a Radar brief with a colleague — each share unlocks 2 bonus summaries

⚡ INSTANT SUMMARIES
Tap any story for the key points. Summaries run on your device: no account, no API key, nothing sent to a server. Free readers get 3 per session, Premium removes the cap.
Prefer a language model? Add your own Gemini, Claude or OpenAI key and Kuokka uses it instead. Comment digests, which pull the substance out of a 300-reply thread, are a Premium feature.

📖 READER MODE
Distraction-free reading with clean typography, adjustable text size, and Light, Dark and Sepia themes. Word count and reading time up front.

📶 OFFLINE READING
Save stories and read them with no connection — commutes, flights, dead zones. (Premium)

📱 HOME SCREEN WIDGETS
Four responsive widget sizes put the top stories on your home screen. See what is breaking without opening the app.

💬 COMMENT TOOLS
Pick up a long thread where you left off, spot unread replies, search inside a discussion, and jump between top-level comments with one tap.

📊 FOR YOU
Kuokka learns from what you read and surfaces stories to match — your topics, your authors, your domains. (Premium)

🔍 EVERY SECTION
Top, New, Best, Ask HN, Show HN and Jobs, with smooth infinite scrolling and advanced search by date, type and points.

⭐ BOOKMARKS, HISTORY & STREAKS
Save stories for later, see which ones you have already opened, and build a daily reading streak with achievements along the way.

🌍 11 LANGUAGES
English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Turkish, Indonesian, German, Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Italian.

A single one-time purchase — no subscription. It removes ads, lifts the summary cap, and unlocks full Radar, For You recommendations, offline reading and advanced search.

🔒 PRIVACY
