Parent to parent

We made this because we needed it too.

Every parent I know kept having the same moment. That little knot in your stomach when you glance over and realize the algorithm took your kid somewhere you’d never have chosen.

So we built the thing we wished existed. A quiet, calm app that puts the choice back where it belongs — with you. Because no algorithm can keep your kids safe the way you do.

For every age

One app. Two ways to watch.

Because a 3-year-old and a 10-year-old need very different things — and you don’t want two apps.

Ages 3–7

The little-ones screen.

A calm, focused space made just for them. They tap, they watch the videos you’ve picked, and the timer eases them out without a meltdown.

The calm little-ones player with big video tiles
  • Clean and calm screen — designed for little eyes
  • Playlists — built by you around what they love
  • A smart timer to switch off calmly, without a fight
  • Tap-friendly for tiny hands
Ages 8–12

A safety net for big kids.

They get to explore real YouTube — but no comments, no algorithm, just results. And nothing plays without your yes. If they find a video they want, one tap sends you a request. You approve from your phone, it lands in their library.

A cleaner YouTube search for big kids with parent approval
  • Search a cleaner YouTube — no comments, no algorithm
  • They browse. You stay in control.
  • One-tap approval from your phone
  • Approved videos save to their library

The gentle goodbye

Time’s up — and you’re not the bad guy.

A small green ring sits on your child’s screen the whole time, quietly emptying like a clock — so they always know where they stand. As time runs low, a soft orange frame appears around the video and slowly grows. At two minutes it turns red; at thirty seconds it gently pulses — so your child knows it’s coming and can get ready. When time’s up, the video fades and a friendly face pops up to say bye. The screen ends the session on its own, calmly. You set the limit once; the app holds the line every time.

Want more than one session a day? You can set that too — most parents keep it to one.

They watch. You relax — because everything that plays, you already said yes to.

From the two of us

A note from the people who actually built it.

Hi — I’m Martina. I have two boys, one and five. My oldest wanted to watch YouTube on his own — and I wanted to let him, but without the constant supervision, or the constant worry about what came next. And I needed screen time to end without a battle.

So I asked Simone — the one who can actually write the code — to build it with me. He builds, I shape the experience. I use it every day with my own kid, and it works.

Just a parent and a very talented friend who wanted one good thing for the kids, and figured other parents probably wanted it too.
