## What is Vidling?

Vidling helps parents make video time calmer, safer, and more intentional.

A BETTER WAY TO MANAGE VIDEO TIME
Open video platforms can quickly lead from one clip to another through recommendations, autoplay, short-form videos, comments, and other distractions. Vidling provides a contained viewing space built around approved channels and a quieter feed.
CURATED CHANNELS, PARENT-MANAGED
Instead of an endless recommendation engine, Vidling presents a focused selection of channels chosen for quality and learning value. Parents control what appears, while the viewing experience remains simple and predictable.
WHY PARENTS USE VIDLING
• Algorithm-free feed — curated channels instead of endless recommendations.
• Contained player — no comments, short-form feeds, or unrestricted browsing.
• Parent controls — manage profiles, hide or restore channels, and review activity reports.
• Calm by design — fewer distractions, no autoplay loops, and no in-app ads.
• Local setup — profiles, preferences, hidden channels, and reports are stored on the device.
BUILT FOR INTENTIONAL VIDEO TIME
Vidling is designed for parents who want video time to feel less random and more intentional. It helps households build viewing routines around trusted channels without endless scrolling or unexpected recommendations.
PRIVACY-MINDED BY DESIGN
Vidling does not display in-app ads, build advertising profiles, or require an account in this version. The app collects only what is necessary to operate, secure, and improve the experience.
WHAT’S NEXT
Parent accounts, improved profile management, and editable channel lists are planned for future updates.
A calmer, more intentional way to watch.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 3.0 — 2026-08-30

A big update. Vidling now has a parent account, so your setup follows you to a
new phone, and Parent Mode is protected by a PIN.

You can also search YouTube by channel name and add any channel straight to your
child's approved list — you're no longer limited to our catalog. Setup asks a few
quick questions about your child's age, interests and watch language, and builds
a starting list around the answers.

Vidling Premium covers the whole family and is managed in Settings. Notifications
about new channel picks and watch summaries are optional and off until you turn
them on.

Plus a refreshed look, faster start-up and lots of small fixes. Available in
English, Spanish, French, German and Portuguese.

### 2.0 — 2026-08-13

This update brings bug fixes and polish for a smoother experience for you and your kids.
