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.

Astro Cinema reads films the way an astrologer reads a chart. Every film in our catalogue is classified by planet, sign and house — the drive behind the story, the arc it travels, and the part of life it belongs to. Then we hand you your own chart and let you find the films that rhyme with it. YOUR COMPLETE BIRTH CHART Calculated from real ephemeris data, not a lookup table: • Every planetary position, with its sign • House placements • Astrodyne power analysis — which planets, signs and houses actually carry weight in your chart COSMIC TIMING The three techniques serious astrologers use to read a moment: • Transits — where the sky is now against where it was when you were born • Secondary progressions — a day for a year • Solar arcs A CATALOGUE THAT WAS READ, NOT TAGGED • 1,100+ films, each with a dominant planet, sign and house signature • An evolutionary arc and a written synthesis for every one • Browse by genre, or by the astrology itself FIND YOUR CHARACTER Search characters by trait, life story or astrology, and see which ones share placements with your own chart. TRAIN YOUR EYE A daily challenge: read a film's planets, signs and houses yourself, then compare your reading with ours. KEEP WHAT YOU WATCH Your watchlist and your watched films, with your own star ratings. Create an account with Apple, Google, or an email and password. Available on iPhone and iPad.
