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 order, with no algorithm, ads, or tracking.
No For You Page. No infinite scroll. The people you follow, in the order they posted.
TikTok does not publish an RSS feed and never has. The platform was built around the For You Page from day one; even the Following tab is algorithmically re-ranked. Narro generates an RSS feed for any public TikTok creator, with posts in chronological order — no For You injection, no algorithm — readable in any RSS reader.
The same creator, read two different ways.
| TikTok | Narro | |
|---|---|---|
| Default surface | For You Page | The creator you added |
| Sort order | Engagement-ranked | Chronological, no exceptions |
| Who picks what you see | TikTok's recommender | You did, when you added the profile |
| What happens when you stop scrolling | TikTok pulls you back | The feed sits there until you open it |
| Following tab placement | Secondary tab, de-prioritized | The whole point |
| Watch time tracking | Yes | No |
| Ads between posts | Yes | No |
ByteDance launched Douyin in China in September 2016. TikTok shipped internationally a year later, in September 2017, as Douyin's overseas twin. ByteDance acquired Musical.ly in November 2017 and merged its US user base into TikTok in August 2018. So "TikTok as Americans know it" is roughly seven years old at scale.
The For You Page was the default surface from day one. The Following tab existed, but it was the secondary view, and the product team's newsroom posts oriented entirely around the recommendation system. Following someone on TikTok has never carried the weight it does on Twitter or Instagram.
Even inside the Following tab, TikTok still re-ranks by engagement signal. You followed thirty people. You see whichever five the algorithm thinks will keep you watching. That is the gap Narro fills.
The creator's public videos, in the order they posted them, with thumbnail, caption, and a link back to the original. Duets and stitches the creator posted on their own account are included. New posts arrive within hours.
What does not go in: duets the algorithm thinks you would like, lookalike creators, trending sounds, ads, lives, comments. The absence is the feature.
A diet, not a fast.
Following one history TikTok or science TikTok creator on the app triggers a flood of similar accounts on the For You Page, most of them lower quality. ADHD and autistic users in particular report the infinite scroll as exploitative. RSS gives you the one creator you wanted, and nothing else.
A reporter covering a politician, a misinformation researcher tracking a specific account, a brand analyst watching a competitor. They need a complete, ordered record. Not a personalized feed that hides posts.
Read what a kid's favorite TikTok creator is posting without opening the For You Page, without recommended lookalikes, without watch time logged against an account.
Traditional fiber arts, regional folk music, specific language communities. The For You Page eventually loses interest in these and stops surfacing them. The RSS feed does not.
People who deleted the app on purpose still have three specific creators they care about. RSS lets them keep the creators without the app. Ease back in, your terms, your pace.
