Too old for YouTube Kids, too young for YouTube?

There’s a middle option: real YouTube channels, only the ones you pick, in an app your kid won’t call babyish.

Your three options

Side by side

ChannelKeep Real YouTube channels, only the ones you pick Looks like a normal video app, not a kids’ app Nothing recommended, no Shorts feed A daily time limit you set once

What your kid sees

The kid app on an iPad: a home feed built only from the channels this family chose

How it works

The parent app on a phone: the family's devices and channels — **1. Pick the channels** on your phone.

The kid app's channel row: only the channels this family chose — **2. Your kid sees only those** on their iPad or iPhone.

3. Set the daily time. When it runs out, the videos stop.

What happens after I sign up?

We email you a link to confirm your address. Then get ChannelKeep from the App Store and sign in with the same email and password.

Is this made by YouTube?
