What ChannelKeep does about each

Too much screen timeA daily limit and allowed hours. When time’s up, the videos stop.
Content you wouldn’t pickYour kid sees only the YouTube channels you choose.
What YouTube recommendsNothing is recommended. No Shorts feed, no autoplay into other channels.

How it works

The parent app on a phone: the family's devices and channels
1. Pick the channels on your phone.
The kid app on an iPad: a home feed built only from the channels this family chose
2. Your kid sees only those on their iPad or iPhone.

3. Set the daily time. When it runs out, the videos stop.
