## What is Gentle Bye?

Set a clear limit for parent-selected videos—without a sudden cutoff.

Gentle Bye combines a kids video timer, gradual reminders, and a friendly goodbye ritual to help children move calmly from watching to what comes next.

HOW IT WORKS

• Search for videos or paste a supported link
• Choose up to 20 videos and arrange their play order
• Set a total viewing time from 1 to 90 minutes
• Pick what comes next: brushing teeth, bath time, a meal, homework, tidying up, bedtime, or going outside
• Start Kids Mode and let the videos play in order
• Receive gentle transition prompts during the final 90 seconds
• Pause and lock playback when time is up
• Let your child say goodbye before leaving the session

MADE FOR PARENTS

Parent Setup stays separate from Kids Mode. Leaving Kids Mode requires Face ID or Touch ID when available, with a simple parent math challenge as a fallback.

NO ACCOUNT REQUIRED

Gentle Bye uses an anonymous installation identifier to operate viewing sessions. Parents may optionally share feedback about how a transition went to help improve the experience. The app does not ask for a child's name.

IMPORTANT

An internet connection is required. Video availability and playback depend on the video provider and creator settings. Parents are responsible for selecting age-appropriate content.

Gentle Bye uses the official YouTube embedded player. Gentle Bye is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by YouTube or Google.
