After logging in, go to your Dashboard and click "Add Profile". Choose an animated avatar, enter your child's nickname (no real names needed), set their age, and choose a daily watch-time limit. Click Save.
Yes. The number of profiles depends on your plan — 1, 2, or 3 profiles for individual plans, or unlimited for institution plans. Each child gets their own separate library and timer.
Go to the profile settings and toggle "Hide Profile" on. The profile disappears from the home screen but is not deleted. You can unhide it anytime from Settings.
Yes, from the profile settings. Deleting a profile permanently removes all its videos, watch history, and settings. The default profile (created automatically) can be edited but not deleted.
Go to your child's library, click "Add Video", and paste the YouTube URL. We automatically fetch the title, thumbnail, channel name, and duration. Assign a Topic (e.g. Phonics) and optional tags, then click Save. The video appears in your child's library instantly.
Standard video URLs (youtube.com/watch?v=...), short URLs (youtu.be/...), and embed URLs (youtube.com/embed/...) all work.
When adding a video, type a Topic name (e.g. "Science", "Phonics", "Stories"). Videos with the same topic are grouped together in the sidebar. You can also add Tags for further filtering — e.g. Topic: "Phonics", Tag: "Miss Rachel".
Yes. Click on any video in the library and toggle "Disable". The video becomes invisible in the kids' interface but stays in your library. Re-enable it any time.
In the child's profile settings, find "Daily Watch Time" and set the number of minutes. When the limit is reached, the screen automatically locks and shows a friendly "Time's Up" message.
The video pauses and a lock screen appears. The child can tap "Ask for more time" to send you a notification. You can approve or decline from your parent dashboard.
Yes. In the profile settings, enable "Bedtime Schedule" and set the cutoff time (e.g. 8:00 PM). After that time, the app will not allow viewing regardless of remaining daily quota.
If your child leaves the device for 10 minutes while a video is playing, the timer automatically pauses and the video stops. This prevents them from losing their daily quota while not watching.
From your parent dashboard, go to the child's profile and click "Freeze Screen". The video pauses immediately, wherever your child is watching. Click "Resume" to unfreeze.
When your child sends a "Request More Time" notification, it appears in your Time Requests screen. Tap "Approve" to grant extra time (default 60 minutes) or "Decline" to send them a polite message.
Complete Restriction is an immediate full lockout. Toggle it ON from the Time Requests screen or the profile settings to block all access instantly — even if the child has time remaining. Useful for meal times, homework, or bedtime.
