AI checks video transcripts for 21 themes, including bullying, language and sales pressure. Read the flags, then decide.
Kids choose from their library. Nothing starts automatically when a video ends.
A familiar thumbnail does not tell you everything inside a video. Watchly helps you review the content and decide what belongs in each child’s library.
Keep favourite creators without handing over the whole YouTube feed.
Use AI transcript reviews as a starting point, then decide what fits your child.
Set limits and breaks in the same place you manage their videos.
Watchly is a separate YouTube viewing app with libraries, transcript reviews and viewing rules managed by a parent. It does not change settings inside the regular YouTube app.
Families with children ages 5–12 who want familiar videos and a clear set of viewing rules.
Watchly does not lock other apps or replace parental judgment. Use device controls to manage access outside Watchly; AI transcript reviews can miss content and context.
