About

SafePlay Video Player

Features
Read full description

SafePlay Video Player is a fully offline, parent-controlled video player that lets you build a safe, distraction-free library just for your child — with no ads, no sign-up, and no data sent to any server. HOW IT WORKS Set a Parent PIN (or use fingerprint/Face unlock) once, then curate exactly what your child can watch. Your child gets a simple, locked-down "Child Mode" — they can only see the videos and groups you've approved. KEY FEATURES • Multiple child profiles with names and avatars • Organize videos into groups (e.g. "Cartoons," "Learning," "Bedtime") • Add your own local video files, or optionally add specific YouTube videos • Screen-time limits per profile, with an on-screen countdown for your child • Kiosk / screen-pinning mode so your child can't back out of the app • Parent Dashboard with watch-time analytics — see what was watched and for how long • PIN and biometric lock protects all parent settings • 100% offline for locally added videos — nothing is uploaded anywhere • No ads. No third-party trackers or analytics. No account required. • On iOS, "locked" playback uses Apple's built-in Guided Access — the app will show you exactly how to turn it on before handing the device to your child. PRIVACY BY DESIGN All profiles, video libraries, and watch history stay on your device in a local database. We don't operate a server and we don't collect or sell your family's data. Full privacy policy: https://iampandiyan.github.io/KidsSafeVideoPlayerPrivacyPolicy/ SafePlay Video Player is built for parents who want the convenience of a curated kids' video app without handing a company access to their family's data.
