New: listen to Kısa. Every story read aloud in a natural voice, in Turkish, English or Arabic. Yesterday in AI and tech, in about three minutes.
Kısa is the short way to keep up with AI and technology.
Every morning there’s one edition: about eight of the day’s top stories from Hacker News, each summed up in a few clear sentences, with the original source a tap away. It takes about three minutes. Then you’re done — the rest of your time is yours.
READ, DON’T SCROLL
• One edition a day, not an endless feed
• Switch between the three-minute read and a 30-second version
• A calm reader: one story at a time, large type, swipe or tap Next
MADE TO GET YOU READING
• Stories tick off as you read them, and the progress bar fills up
• Finish the edition to keep your streak going
• An optional morning reminder when the new edition is ready, skipped on days you’ve already read
• Catch up on missed days from the archive
LISTEN INSTEAD
• Every story read aloud by a natural AI voice, in Turkish, English or Arabic
• Play the whole edition or one story; keep listening with the screen locked, at up to 2× speed
• Stories you listen to count as read
SAVE FOR LATER
• Bookmark any story. Saved stories stay on your iPhone and open offline
THREE LANGUAGES
• Türkçe, English and العربية: the whole app and every edition, with full right-to-left layout for Arabic
SOURCES, IN THE OPEN
Stories are selected from Hacker News. Accessible original articles are summarized and translated with AI, so summaries may contain errors — every story links to its original source and its discussion.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no ads, no tracking. Your reading history and saved stories never leave your iPhone.
A new edition is prepared every morning at 07:00 Türkiye time (UTC+3).
