Signal for Hacker News
Search smarter Hacker News
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Find what is popular today, what mattered this week, and what Hacker News is still discussing.
Signal is a faster way to explore Hacker News. Open Top Today, Top Week, or Top Year, then dig into the stories, domains, authors, and discussions behind the headlines.
Build reusable saved lenses for the topics you care about: AI this week with 100+ comments, Show HN launches, quiet gems with high points but fewer comments, or comment-first searches that jump back to the parent discussion.
Signal is read-only, requires no account, and stores your saved lenses, bookmarks, recent searches, and reading history locally on your device. Search results come from the public HN Search API powered by Algolia, article and discussion links open in Safari, and the app is supported by Google AdMob banner ads.
