Asked.
Everything you need to know about the algorithm-free social network.
Is noalgo.me free to use? +
Yes. noalgo.me is free to download and use. There are no ads, no premium tiers, and no hidden fees. We do not sell your data.
How do you add friends on noalgo.me? +
You can only add friends in person. One user shows their unique QR code and the other scans it with the noalgo.me app. This in-person Digital Handshake verifies that every connection is a real-world relationship, eliminating strangers, bots, and anonymous accounts.
Does noalgo.me use an algorithm or a 'For You' feed? +
No. The noalgo.me feed is strictly chronological. Posts appear in the exact order they were published, with no algorithmic ranking, no engagement boosting, and no 'For You' page. You see posts from your verified friends and nothing else.
Is noalgo.me private? Can strangers see my posts? +
Yes, noalgo.me is private by default. There are no public profiles and no 'Discover' feed. Only the friends you have verified in person can see your posts, and your content is never surfaced to strangers through likes or comments.
Who is noalgo.me built for? +
noalgo.me is built for anyone who wants a calmer, safer social network: students who need protection from strangers and grooming, families who want to share privately, and adults tired of algorithmic feeds and engagement traps. It is mobile-only (iOS and Android).
What platforms is noalgo.me available on? +
noalgo.me is a mobile-only app available on iOS and Android. This website is informational; the social experience lives entirely in the mobile app.
Does noalgo.me track my data or show ads? +
No. noalgo.me does not track your behavior, does not show ads, and does not sell your data to advertisers or third parties. There is no behavioral advertising infrastructure in the app.
Can I search for people on noalgo.me? +
No. There is no search function and no 'people you may know' suggestions. The only way to connect is to meet in person and scan a QR code. This is a deliberate design choice to keep your network 100% verified.
How do events work on noalgo.me? +
You can create private events with a cover photo, name, date, and location. Only the event owner can invite friends, and only verified friends can be invited. Attendees can RSVP as going, maybe, or not going. Events never appear in a public 'Discover' map.
What's coming next for noalgo.me? +
