CtrlKid for YouTube – Parental Control for Kids

CtrlKid for YouTube turns YouTube into a place to learn. Instead of a search box and endless recommendations, your child sees topic buttons you chose, like robotics, coding, math, science or art, and only videos matching those topics can play. What it does: - Topic buttons replace YouTube's search box, so your child can only search topics you approved - Search results show only videos that match your approved topics - Any other video is blocked, even if it's opened from a link or a Google search result - Shorts are hidden - The homepage feed, "Up next" recommendations and autoplay are switched off - Approve whole channels you trust (e.g. @MathAntics) or whole categories (e.g. Education) - Lots of topics? Extra ones go in a "More topics" menu with its own search - Settings are protected by a password - Parent pause: one PIN turns filtering off for 30 min, 1 h, 2 h or until you turn it back on - Back up and restore your topics to a file - Works with Japanese and other languages written without spaces Private by design: no account, no tracking, no analytics. Video titles and categories are checked inside your browser and nothing is sent to us. Free: 5 topics. Pro (with the CtrlKid desktop app): unlimited topics and channels, managed from one shared list. New installs get unlimited topics free for 30 days, then 5 topics unless you upgrade. The free version shows a small "CtrlKid Pro" message after a video ends. The optional CtrlKid desktop app (Windows/Linux) adds a keyword watchlist, screen time limits, activity logs and phone alerts: https://ctrlkid.com Not affiliated with or endorsed by YouTube or Google.
