## What is KidsTube?

You choose the channels. You set the watching times.

KidsTube helps parents shape a calmer video experience for each child, with
approved YouTube channels, adjustable filters, a finite feed, and time limits.

SET UP ONCE, ADJUST WHEN YOU NEED TO

Create a child profile, choose the viewing mode, review content filters and
watching times, set a parent PIN, and approve channels. The final setup screen
shows what will be saved, with direct links to change your choices.

CONTENT CHOICES FOR EACH CHILD

- Strict mode limits viewing to approved channels.
- Flexible mode also allows filtered YouTube search.
- Adjust keyword, Shorts, video-length, and language preferences.
- Choose how many videos appear in the finite Home feed.

Automated filters support parental supervision; they cannot guarantee that
every video will be suitable for every child.

TIME FOR EVERYTHING ELSE

Choose viewing windows with their own time budgets, or daily limits with
session limits and breaks. Clear icons and countdowns help children understand
when watching is available again.

PARENT SETTINGS BEHIND A PIN

Manage profiles, channels, viewing limits, and purchases in the parent area.
Review watch history and screen-time summaries. Watch history is automatically
deleted after 30 days.

PRIVACY

No KidsTube account, analytics, or tracking. Child profiles, parental settings,
and watch history stay on the device. Public video metadata comes from the
YouTube Data API through our proxy, and videos play through YouTube's embedded
player. YouTube's own data practices and advertising may apply to playback.

TRY IT WITH YOUR FAMILY

A three-day trial gives access to the app's features. Afterwards, a weekly or
yearly subscription is required. Local prices and renewal terms are shown in
the app before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled;
manage or cancel them in your Apple Account settings. Purchases are protected
by the parent PIN.

KidsTube is independently developed by Groei BV and is not affiliated with,
endorsed by, or sponsored by YouTube or Google. Videos are hosted by YouTube
and remain the property of their creators.
