You have a five-year-old and a ten-year-old. They share the same tablet. Your ten-year-old watches Minecraft builds and science experiments. Your five-year-old opens YouTube and sees Minecraft videos in the recommendations. One-size-fits-all parental controls do not work for families with children at different ages and maturity levels. What is appropriate for a ten-year-old is not appropriate for a five-year-old, and restricting a ten-year-old to toddler content is not fair either.
Older kid content leaks to younger siblings: Shared devices mean shared recommendations. YouTube does not separate content by child. Your toddler sees whatever your preteen was watching last, including content that is too mature for their age.
One-size-fits-all restrictions fail: Setting YouTube to the strictest level means your older child loses access to age-appropriate content. Setting it to the oldest child's level means your youngest sees content they should not. There is no middle ground with a single set of rules.
Shared accounts mean shared history: Watch history, recommendations, and search results blend together across children. A five-year-old's search for "animals" returns results influenced by a ten-year-old's viewing habits. Content boundaries do not exist on shared accounts.
Different ages need different content: A toddler needs counting and ABCs. A seven-year-old needs science and reading. A twelve-year-old needs coding and history. No single content filter can serve all these needs simultaneously.
Watchly Player gives each child their own YouTube profile with independent content libraries, theme filters, and time limits. Parents create separate profiles for each child, add age-appropriate videos to each library, and set rules that match each child's maturity level. Profiles are PIN-protected so children only access their own content. One parent account, multiple personalized viewing experiences.
Families with multiple children of different ages who share devices. Parents who want different content rules for a toddler and a preteen. Households where older kid content keeps leaking to younger siblings.
Single-child households that only need one set of rules. Parents looking for fully automated content filtering without any manual curation. Watchly requires parents to build libraries and set rules for each profile.

Sign up for Watchly and tap "Add Child Profile." Enter the child's name, pick an emoji avatar, and set a four-digit PIN. Each child gets their own profile with independent settings.
Search YouTube from the parent dashboard for age-appropriate channels and videos. Add them to this child's library. Only approved content appears when they open Watchly.
Type allowed themes in plain English like "dinosaurs, math, nature" and blocked themes like "scary, pranks." Filters apply only to this profile so each child has rules matching their age.
Configure daily screen time limits and intermission breaks for this child. A toddler might get twenty minutes while an older child gets an hour. Limits are enforced automatically per profile.
Create additional profiles with different libraries, themes, and time limits. Each child taps their avatar and enters their PIN to access their personalized, age-appropriate content.
Tap any screen to try the real thing.
Even creators you trust post things you would not approve of. Subtle objectification, harassment, bullying: those are three of the 21 themes the Watchly AI checks every video for.
