## What is FamTiVi?

FamTiVi is intuitive suite of tools to help organize video viewing for you, your family, and friends. Our crowdsourcing platform allows people that have the same needs and thresholds for quality to share and find pre-curated playlists, saving you the time of having to construct a playlist from scratch. Furthermore, FamTiVi allows you to schedule video viewing, so you and your family members can watch videos during pre-defined screen time hours.

DISTRACTION-FREE WATCHING
FamTiVi gives you and your family a clean and predictable space to watch online videos you've pre-approved. It is built to emulate old-school TV as much as possible – channels up/down and fast-forward/rewind.  Family member profiles only see videos selected by the primary user.

CURATE YOUTUBE VIDEOS INTO PLAYLISTS
Primary users can add YouTube videos and organize them into themed playlists, shows, and channels. Family members do not browse YouTube directly; they only watch what you have approved inside their TiVi Station.

CREATE PERSONALIZED TIVI STATIONS
Each family member gets their own set of Tivi Channels — a simple, safe environment built entirely from curated videos. This ensures intentional, age-appropriate viewing without random suggestions.

BUILD SHOWS AND CHANNELS
Turn curated videos into scheduled shows and assign them to channels. Create different types of content for each child — learning shows, calm time channels, creativity shows, or weekend fun.

SCHEDULE HEALTHY SHOWTIMES
Choose when family members can watch. Set morning shows, after-school shows, or weekend channels. When it’s showtime, the content plays. When time ends, viewing stops automatically. This supports healthy routines and predictable screen time.

FULL WEB DASHBOARD FOR PARENTS
Primary users can manage everything through the FamTiVi web dashboard:
• Add YouTube videos
• Discover high-quality online content
