Vidopick: The Safe Way for Kids to Watch Vidopick is a child-safe video player with real parental controls. You handpick the YouTube playlists and channels your kids can watch, and they stay locked inside a secure player with no recommendations, no autoplay rabbit holes, and no surprises. Hand over the device with total confidence. Most parental controls just limit screen time or tell you what your kid watched after the fact. Vidopick is different. It controls exactly which videos exist in your child's world. Nothing else is visible. Nothing else is reachable. Watch safely anywhere: phone, tablet, or Google TV. What makes Vidopick different • Direct YouTube access is blocked. Kids only see content you approve. • Handpick any public or unlisted YouTube playlist or channel by sharing it straight from YouTube into Vidopick. • Browse thousands of curated, child-safe playlists and channels, selected by parents and quality-checked by AI. • No algorithm, no recommendations, no autoplay into the unknown. • Lock settings behind biometrics or a parental PIN so only you can make changes. • No YouTube account needed. No Vidopick account needed to start watching. Smart play modes • Lock Mode: lock to a single playlist or channel for focused, distraction-free viewing. • Randomize Mode: shuffle videos within a playlist or channel. • Shuffle Mode: jump across multiple approved playlists and channels for variety. Supercharge your controls with Vidopick Pro! Pro turns Vidopick into a full family command center across every device you own. • Unlimited profiles, one for each child and each parent, each with their own playlists and history. • Cross-device sync. Add a playlist on your phone and it's instantly on the tablet and TV. • Screen time per profile. Set a daily limit for each kid that applies across every device. • Master Lock. One tap stops playback and locks every connected device at once. Perfect for bedtime. • Follow Profiles. Subscribe to a teacher's, school's, or friend's profile and pull their curated content straight into your app. • Viewing history per profile so you always know what was watched. Private by design • Vidopick does not track kids and does not collect data about your children. • We never sell or share your data, and we never use it for advertising. • One curated sponsor message may appear at launch for a parent to view or skip. Never during videos. Download Vidopick and take back control of your kids' screen time

"QRuppets" is a mobile collectible character game where you discover unique felt puppet characters by scanning QR codes in the real world. HOW TO PLAY Launch the app, and aim the scanner at any QR code (on a receipt, a business card, a product package, or anywhere else) to scan it. Each scan reveals a random character from a growing collection of unique puppets. Every character has a distinct personality, backstory tidbit or comical trait, and most of them have a preferred bait. FEATURES • Over 50 Unique Characters: From Kev the garbage collector to Dr. Nugg, each hand-crafted felt puppet has its own look, traits, and comedic personality. • Gallery: View your collection, see which characters you've discovered, and track your progress toward collecting them all. • Unique Mint Numbers: Each discovery is serialized based on when you found it. Earlier scans yield lower mint numbers. Be the first to find new characters by scanning new QR codes as updates are released. • Bait System: Use bait packs to influence which characters you discover. Each character has a preferred bait type. • Premium Scanner: Remove the cooldown between scans for unlimited discovering, enjoy an ad-free experience, and get bait hints on undiscovered characters in your gallery. • No Account Required: Start playing immediately with automatic account creation. • Cross-Device Sync: QR code import/export lets you move your collection between devices when you upgrade your phone. • Regular Updates Planned: New characters and features added over time. BAIT TYPES • Coffee • Soda • Daddy's Apple Juice • Doughnut • Yard Work • Party Powder • Cancer Leaves • Crime Crystals Premium Scanner (one-time purchase) removes scan cooldowns and ads. It also reveals which undiscovered characters prefer which bait. Bait packs are consumable items that narrow down the draw lottery to find a character that prefers the bait you place. Each bait pack contains 5 uses. Some scans will draw a character that ignores your bait and you will get to use it on a future scan. Characters have activities and occupations that reflect real-world archetypes with a whimsical puppet twist, from pizza delivery drivers and doctors to social influencers and taxidermists. They also lack morals and stuff.
