Everything the mobile web gets wrong about Hacker News, fixed in a native app designed for large screens.
Three-pane layout designed for the Galaxy Z Fold's inner display. Story feed on the left, comment threads in the middle, full article on the right. No tab-switching, no back buttons.
Four AI-generated summaries per article: Technical, Simple, ELI5, and ELI16. Decide if a story is worth 20 minutes before you commit. Powered by Gemini.
Stories, comments, and articles are cached locally. Read on the subway, on a plane, or anywhere your signal drops. Syncs in the background so your feed stays fresh.
Tap a story to set a reminder -- 1 hour, tonight, tomorrow, or this weekend. Crease sends a notification when it is time. No more "I will read that later" followed by never reading it.
All the feeds: Top, New, Best, Ask HN, Show HN, and Jobs. Log in with your HN account to upvote, comment, reply, and submit stories. Search via Algolia.
On the cover screen, Crease switches to a single-pane layout with swipe navigation. Same app, adapted to whatever screen state you are in. Open, closed, or anywhere in between.
It is free. Download, open, and you are in.
The three-pane layout activates automatically on large screens. On the cover screen or regular phones, you get a swipeable single-pane view.
Tap a story to see comments. Swipe left to read the article. All three panes stay in sync.
Tap the summary card on any article to get four different summaries instantly. Decide what is worth reading in seconds. Pro feature.
Stories and articles are cached automatically. No manual "save for offline" required.
The full HN experience costs nothing. AI summaries are a tap away with Pro.
Everything you need to read Hacker News on a foldable.
For readers who want AI on their side.
Yes. The core HN reader -- all feeds, comments, offline caching, bookmarks, reminders, and foldable layout -- is completely free. Pro adds AI article summaries via a subscription.
Crease runs on any Android device but is optimized for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series. On foldable devices, you get the three-pane layout. On regular phones or the cover screen, it switches to a single-pane swipeable view automatically.
When you open an article, Crease sends the URL to our summary API, which uses Gemini to generate four summaries at different reading levels. Summaries are cached, so you only generate them once per article. This is a Pro feature.
Yes. Log in with your HN credentials to upvote stories, post comments, reply to threads, and submit new stories. Your karma and account details are displayed in settings.
Crease caches stories, comments, and articles locally and syncs in the background. You can keep reading from cache even with no connection. An offline indicator lets you know when you are disconnected.
Manage your subscription through Google Play. You can cancel anytime during the trial or after. Your Pro features remain active until the end of your billing period.
Crease uses the display you paid for. Free on Google Play.
