Keeping kids safe on YouTube shouldn't feel impossible — but it often does. Inappropriate or misleading videos can slip through even the most popular kids' apps. YouApprove is a parental control app that gives your child a safe, YouTube-powered video library made only from channels YOU approve.

Unlike apps that rely on algorithms and content filters to guess what's appropriate, YouApprove puts parents in full control. No random recommendations. No autoplay surprises. No unapproved channels. Just the videos you've said yes to.

HOW YOUAPPROVE WORKS

Most kids' video apps use automated filters that try to predict what's safe — and get it wrong more often than parents would like. YouApprove takes a simpler, safer approach: your child can only watch videos from YouTube channels you've personally approved.

Approve a trusted channel like National Geographic Kids, and its videos become available in Child Mode. Nothing else gets through — no spoofed titles, no unboxing videos, no algorithm-driven surprises.

BUILT BY PARENTS, FOR PARENTS

We built YouApprove after realizing no other kids' video app or parental control tool gave us the level of control we wanted for our own children.

Give your family a safer way to enjoy YouTube. Download YouApprove and take control of screen time, content, and peace of mind today.
