What is Narrow?

Narrow is a LinkedIn inbox management tool designed to help professionals organize conversations, track follow-ups, and prioritize high-value messages. Built by former Microsoft AI engineers, it replaces LinkedIn's chaotic inbox with labels, reminders, Kanban boards, and AI-powered message screening. The goal is simple: cut through the noise and focus on conversations that actually drive results.

Who it's for

• Founders – building relationships and managing investor communications without losing track of key contacts
• CXOs – leading teams and maintaining strategic partnerships while keeping inbox clutter under control
• Recruiters – organizing candidate conversations and hiring pipelines to never miss a promising lead

Key features

Labels for custom organization

Create custom groups to categorize conversations by priority, project, or any system that works for you. This replaces LinkedIn's flat inbox with a structured view tailored to your workflow.

Follow-up reminders

Set reminders to follow up at the perfect time, so no important conversation slips through the cracks. The tool helps you stay on top of outreach without manual tracking.

Auto Screener

Automatically filter and prioritize messages based on your custom criteria. This AI-powered feature surfaces the conversations that matter most, saving hours of manual sorting.

Kanban board view

Track your conversations visually with a Kanban board for a more organized workflow. Drag and drop messages between stages to manage your pipeline at a glance.

What stands out

Narrow avoids automation, doesn't alter the LinkedIn UI, and never scrapes any non-user data – fully aligned with LinkedIn's terms of use.

This is a rare combination in the LinkedIn tools space. Most inbox managers rely on automation or UI manipulation, which risks account restrictions. Narrow takes a privacy-first approach: your full chat data stays on your device, and only minimal metadata is stored. It's designed for people doing targeted, personalized messaging – not automated spam.

Narrow is especially useful if you value privacy, want to stay compliant with LinkedIn's terms, and prefer a visual, organized workflow over a flat message list.
