About KidWatch: Safe Video for Kids
Every video your child taps is read by AI first - for language, age-fit, and whether a real person actually made it - before a single frame plays. Your child watches the real YouTube, the app they actually want to use. But nothing plays until it passes the check, comments stay hidden, and you see every decision along with the reason behind it. WHY NOT JUST YOUTUBE KIDS? Because children outgrow it and ask for the real thing - and because it still serves algorithmic junk without ever telling you why it chose it. KidWatch keeps real YouTube and puts a check in front of every single video. WHAT KIDWATCH CHECKS, BEFORE EVERY VIDEO - Language - only the languages you choose (24 supported, from English and Malay to Hindi and Japanese) - Age-appropriateness - a 5-year-old and an 11-year-old get different answers - AI-made content - block synthetic voices, AI animation, and mass-produced "content farm" videos - Your rules - block channels or keywords, always-allow favourites AND IT TELLS YOU WHY Open the parent dashboard and you can see, in plain language, what the AI decided about a video and the reason it gave. Nothing is a black box. When the AI isn't sure, the video doesn't play - it asks you. KidWatch chooses to close, not open. BUILT FOR REAL FAMILIES - A profile for each child, each with their own languages, age and limits - Daily time limits and "take a break" session caps that survive app restarts - Bedtime mode - videos sleep when your child should - Ask-a-Parent - when the AI isn't sure, you decide with your PIN - Smart channel learning - trusted channels start instantly, repeat offenders get blocked automatically ONE APP, NOT TWO KidWatch is a single app your child actually wants to open - there's no second "monitoring" app to install on their device. The parent area is PIN-protected (stored in your device Keychain) with a dashboard, watch-time trends, language breakdown and a week-in-review. Morning summaries and blocked-video alerts come straight to your iPhone. YOUR DATA, YOUR CONTROL KidWatch keeps each child's profile and history so the parent features work, and you can delete your account or any child's data at any time, right in the app. We never sell it. KidWatch Premium is an auto-renewable monthly subscription. New subscribers get a 7-day free trial, then the regular monthly price (shown in the app before you confirm; local prices vary). Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. Privacy Policy: https://kidwatch-privacy.pages.dev Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
