- Search historical Hacker News stories.
- Read articles in a native reader powered by Mozilla Readability.
- Swipe between stories in the current feed.
- Open comments quickly in a bottom sheet.
- Use reader themes, fonts, Speed Reader, and Read Aloud.

- Open PDFs, X/Twitter, YouTube, and external links in the default app or browser.
Kiosk has no accounts, ads, analytics, tracking SDKs, Firebase, Crashlytics, or Google Play Services dependency.
