Kivvie

Kivvie is a parent-controlled YouTube player for kids, built around a simple idea: children should only see the channels their parents have approved. Instead of an open-ended feed, Kivvie gives families an allowlist. Parents pick the channels, and the child's profile shows videos from those channels only.

How it works: a parent creates a child profile, searches for public channels they trust, and adds them to the allowlist. The child then opens Kivvie and browses a clean, ad-free interface containing only that approved content. There is no home feed of recommendations, no Shorts feed, no comments section and no open-ended search, so the experience stays focused on what the family has chosen.

Who it is for: parents and carers who want their kids to enjoy great videos, whether that is science explainers, music, crafts or favourite creators, without the endless rabbit hole of autoplay suggestions. It also works well for adults who want a focused, distraction-free viewing space limited to a handful of channels.

Key features:

- Channel allowlists per child profile, managed by the parent

- Ad-free, distraction-free player interface

- No recommendations feed, Shorts or comments

- Custom playlists of individual videos on paid plans

- Available on web, Android, Android TV, Google TV and iOS

Pricing: Kivvie is free for one child profile with five approved channels, no card required. Paid plans (monthly, yearly or lifetime) unlock unlimited child profiles, unlimited channels and custom playlists.

Kivvie puts parents back in control of what their children watch, one approved channel at a time.
