Nothing plays unless you say so.

No shorts, no ads, and no algorithm. The YouTube controls they won't build.

VidCove is a parent-controlled YouTube experience for kids. Whitelist channels you trust — or approve every individual video in Strict Mode. Kids can request channels, you decide if they get in. Nothing else plays.

Block YouTube Shorts everywhere: app, web, and Smart TVs. The only Shorts kill switch that survives a browser tab. Toggle per channel or globally.

See every minute they watch. Weekly digests, AI content summaries, and a tamper-proof watch history kids can't delete — emailed to parents automatically.

Works on iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets, Amazon Fire tablets, web browsers, and Smart TVs (Android TV, Fire TV, LG webOS, Samsung Tizen). Same per-child controls on every screen, plus optional Plex integration.

Built by parents, for parents. Free to try, no credit card required, 2-minute setup.
