Open Narro
instead of X.
No algorithm. No ads. No tracking.
Narro is a social media curation app. Add the profiles you follow on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Narro shows their posts in order, with no algorithm, ads, or tracking. The people you chose. Nothing the For You tab chose for you.
Is there an X alternative without the algorithm?
Yes. Narro shows posts from the X accounts you chose to follow, in the order they were posted, with no For You ranking, no suggested posts, and no engagement-bait amplification. It is not a replacement for X the platform. It is the app you open instead when you want to read without the noise. The For You tab is an algorithmic feed that surfaces outrage and dunks regardless of who you follow. Narro surfaces only the accounts you chose.
The For You tab optimizes for anger.
X ranks posts by predicted engagement. Outrage, quote-dunks, and threads with thousands of angry replies surface first, regardless of whether you chose those accounts. The people you actually follow get buried below content designed to keep you reading by making you react.

Common questions
- Is there an X alternative without the algorithm?
- Yes. Narro shows posts from the X accounts you chose to follow, in the order they were posted, with no For You ranking, no suggested posts, and no engagement-bait amplification. It is not a replacement for X the platform. It is the app you open instead when you want to read without the noise.
- Why does the X For You tab show content from people I do not follow?
- The For You tab is an algorithmic recommendation feed. X ranks posts by predicted engagement, not by who you follow. Accounts that generate outrage, debate, or high reply volume surface regardless of whether you chose them. The Following tab exists but X defaults to For You and buries it.
- Can I get a chronological feed of the X accounts I follow?
- Yes. Narro builds a chronological feed from any public X accounts you add. Original posts, reposts, and quote posts appear in the order they were published. No ranking, no amplification, no suggestions.
- Does Narro include X replies, quote posts, and reposts?
- Yes. Narro includes original posts, reposts, quote posts, and replies the account authored, with media thumbnails and post permalinks. Everything in chronological order.
- Do I need an X account to use Narro for X posts?
- No. Narro reads public X profiles on your behalf. You do not need to log in to X or connect any X credentials.
- Does Narro replace X entirely?
- No. Narro replaces the habit of opening X when you want to read the people you follow. Keep X for DMs, breaking news you want in real time, and anything else you genuinely need it for. Open Narro when you want the accounts you follow without the algorithm deciding what you see.
