MunchGuard: Picky Eater Help

Make screen time work for mealtime: parent-approved videos play while kids chew, then pause with a friendly buddy. No open browsing.

MunchGuard turns mealtime videos into a calmer chew-to-watch routine. Parent-approved videos play while your child takes steady bites, then pause with a friendly Eating Buddy reminder when bites stop. A few steady bites and the show comes right back. No open browsing for kids.

Parents stay in control of everything children see. Add exact video links you trust, or connect a parent YouTube account and review the individual videos before importing them. Only approved videos can play during mealtime, with no channel catalog, autoplay rabbit holes, or recommendations from strangers.

HOW IT WORKS

• Share a video link straight from the YouTube app or Safari (Share → Add to MunchGuard), or paste an exact link you approve.
• Premium families can connect their own YouTube account and choose individual videos from their playlists and liked videos. A remote playlist is never treated as one permanently approved item.
• Your child watches in MunchGuard's built-in, kid-safe player.
• The front camera and microphone notice chewing on-device. Chewing means play. Stopping means a gentle pause, a keep-munching Eating Buddy, and an optional parent voice cue.
• When they take a few bites, the video resumes automatically.

CONNECT YOUR YOUTUBE ACCOUNT — PREMIUM Sign in with Google to review videos from your own YouTube playlists and liked videos, then import only the individual videos you approve into the selected child's library. Access is read-only: MunchGuard cannot post, edit, or delete anything, children never see account browsing, and your Google password never touches the app.

WHY PARENTS LOVE IT

• You approve every exact video, creating a closed, safe library.
• Each child can have their own approved library, meal history, goals, and progress.
• Add videos in seconds: paste a link, share from the YouTube app, or connect your own YouTube account with read-only access.
• Eating Buddy and Buddy Adventure Pass turn progress into encouraging characters, seasonal outfits, rooms, badges, and rewards.
• Encouraging, never shaming: it is a game, not a punishment.

PRIVACY FIRST BY DESIGN

• Chewing detection runs on your device. Live camera, microphone, and motion signals are not uploaded or stored by MunchGuard.
• If you record a parent voice reminder, that short reminder stays on the device.
• Optional Sign in with Apple can back up your approved library and meal summaries to your private iCloud, so your family's setup can restore on your Apple devices.
• Parents add exact video links they choose. MunchGuard does not host, download, cache, or redistribute video content.
• No ads. No third-party tracking. No analytics SDKs.

Chew-to-watch playback and your approved video library are available without Premium. MunchGuard Premium adds three family benefits: faster parent setup with read-only YouTube imports, separate spaces for multiple children, and more Eating Buddy personalization. Start with a 30-day free trial; MunchGuard Premium Monthly then renews monthly at the App Store price unless canceled at least 24 hours before the renewal date. A lifetime unlock is also available as a one-time purchase.
