Watch with intention. Kew replaces algorithmic feeds with a queue you build yourself and watch in order. No recommendations, no autoplay, no infinite scroll, nothing designed to exploit your attention. Time well spent, not time spent. How Kew works Connect YouTube and Vimeo, add videos from the creators you follow, or search for something new. They go into your queue, and you watch them one at a time, on your own terms. It's a reading list for video, not a feed. Kew+ Upgrade to Kew+ for multiple queues, a private journal to reflect on what you watched, watch insights, gentle personal limits, more skips, and premium themes.
