Narro principles: the user-curated social media feed you build yourself
Narro
Principles
Narro exists to bring you closer to the profiles you want to follow. These are the principles behind user-curated social media: the feed you build, not the one an algorithm builds for you.
The feed is the people you chose.
Friends, creators, a local library, a scientist: Narro shows posts from the profiles you added, and nothing else. No suggested posts, no “For You”, no injected accounts. The feed is exactly what you built: user-curated, not algorithm-curated.
Posts appear in the order they were posted.
Newest to oldest is the only order Narro uses. Nothing is reordered to maximize engagement, nothing is surfaced because it performed well on someone else’s feed.
A feed that ends.
Every feed has a bottom. You reach it, you are done. There is no recommendation engine standing by to fill the silence with something else you might click.
The content you expect, with nothing mixed in.
Narro has no AI filler, engagement bait, or rage content, which is much of what made the time feel wasted. It does not lecture you about screen time.
You pay for Narro, so nobody else pays to be in your feed.
No tracking pixels. No ad networks. Not now, not ever. The business runs on subscriptions, not attention, so there is no data to sell.
No streaks, no badges, no slot-machine refresh.
Narro has none of the gamification engineered to keep a session running one more minute. It is built to be useful rather than sticky.
Take your feed anywhere.
You are never locked into the Narro app. Every feed is a real RSS URL: read it in Feedly, Reeder, Inoreader, or any reader you use. Show it on your own site. The feed belongs to you.
You don’t have to delete anything.
Narro replaces the habit, not the apps. Keep Instagram for DMs. Keep TikTok for the funny videos your friend sent you. Keep Facebook for your aunt’s birthday. Just open Narro instead.
Open Narro instead of Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Facebook, or LinkedIn
We want to be useful and get out of the way.
Our job is to show you what the people and pages you follow posted. When the feed ends, you are done.
Open Narro instead.

Common questions
- What does Narro stand for?
- Narro is a user-curated social media app. Add the profiles you follow on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Facebook, and LinkedIn; Narro shows their posts in chronological order with no algorithm and no ads. The name is the mission: narrowing the feed down to exactly the people you chose to follow.
- Does Narro use an algorithm?
- No. Narro shows posts from the profiles you added, newest first. There are no suggested posts, no "For You" ranking, no injected accounts. The feed is the people and pages you chose to follow.
- Do I have to delete my other apps?
- No. Narro replaces the habit, not the apps. Keep Instagram for DMs. Keep TikTok for the funny videos your friend sent you. Keep Facebook for your aunt's birthday. Just open Narro instead of opening the main feed.
- Can I read my feed outside the Narro app?
- Yes. Every Narro feed has a real RSS URL. Read it in Feedly, Reeder, Inoreader, or any reader that supports RSS. You are never locked into the Narro interface.
- Does Narro track what I read?
- No engagement scoring, no behavioral profile, no ad targeting. Narro stores what you follow so it can fetch new posts. That is the whole data model.
- Where does the Narro feed end?
- At the bottom. When you have caught up on the new posts from the profiles you follow, the feed stops. There is no recommendation engine waiting to fill the silence. You close the app and move on.
