SafeStream gives parents full control over what their children watch and when they watch it. Instead of open-ended feeds, ads, and endless recommendations, SafeStream shows children only the videos parents approve—nothing more. Approved videos play in a clean, distraction-free viewer without suggested videos or extra on-screen clutter - and ad free. Parents can: • Approve specific YouTube videos, playlists, or channels • Set daily screen-time limits that automatically pause playback when time is up • Create bedtimes that block video access during sleep hours • Manage multiple child profiles, each with their own rules • Lock settings behind a secure parent PIN SafeStream works even without a YouTube account and does not collect personal data. Parents can add content by pasting links, video IDs, or by using optional in-app search. Built for families who want structure without frustration, SafeStream turns YouTube into a focused, intentional viewing experience—free from recommendations and distractions—so kids can enjoy videos and parents can relax knowing the boundaries are set.
