ChannelKeep

Who picks the next video your kid watches?

On YouTube, the algorithm does, and more of what it picks is made by AI. With ChannelKeep, you do.

Who picks the next video?

On YouTube: the algorithm Autoplay and “Up next” choose for your kid, one video after another.
On ChannelKeep: only your list Your kid sees the channels you picked. Nothing is recommended, there’s no Shorts feed, and nothing plays from a channel you didn’t choose. The kid app on an iPad: a home feed built only from the channels this family chose
