73%
of children under 8 are exposed to AI-generated content on YouTube Kids weekly. Most parents don't know which.

The parent app · free

The parental control app that scores every kids' video before it plays.

Every video your child wants to watch lands here first. You see the full behavioural scorecard, the moments that need attention with timestamps, and one tap to approve or skip — before the video plays.

Parent app kid requests screen with requested videos, fit score, full scorecard button, and approve or reject actions
01PENDING · APPROVE OR SKIP
Parent app full scorecard modal showing concerning moments, key signals, and metric ratings for a video
02MOMENTS · FLAGGED WITH TIMESTAMPS
Parent app review queue with child filters, preview cards, fit score, and approve or reject actions
03REVIEW · SCORE BEFORE APPROVAL
Parent app home screen showing learning areas, evidence progress, and building picture status by child
04COVERAGE · WHAT THEY ARE LEARNING
1.
Pending list — every video your child wants to watch waits here. Approve or skip with one tap; their app is paused until you decide.
2.
Flagged moments with timestamps — every concerning beat in the video is named, timestamped, and described in one line so you can verify in the source.
3.
Review queue — compare pending videos by child, fit score, and scorecard detail before approving anything into the kid app.
4.
What they're learning — developmental coverage across six domains plus disposition signal, so you see what your child is actually taking in over time.

How it works

Three steps, one quiet system.

i.
You sign up, your kids get the app
One parent account, a profile per child. Sign-in works from anywhere with a one-time code — no passwords. Kids open the app and either pick from what's already approved, or search for something new.
ii.
They ask, you approve
When a kid wants to watch something not yet on their list, the request lands in your dashboard. You see the analysis — flagged moments with timestamps, age-fit, what it teaches — and approve or skip in seconds.
iii.
You see what they're really learning
Every video they watch is scored across emotional and developmental dimensions — empathy, resilience, focus, kindness. The dashboard shows what's growing, what's missing, and what to nudge next.
Real parents

Parents trust Kidoio to keep kids' video safe — here's what they say.

From parents in our early access program.

"Kidoio caught three channels we'd been letting our daughter watch that scored badly on aggression and reward framing. We had no idea."
S
Sarah K.
Parent of two · Texas
"My son used to come off the iPad wired and irritable. Two weeks of Kidoio and the difference is real. He picks better stuff because he can only see better stuff."
M
Michael D.
Father of one · UK
"It feels like every other parental tool just blocks. Kidoio actually understands what content is teaching. That's the bit nobody else does."
P
Priya R.
Pediatrician & parent · Toronto
"The dashboard tells me exactly which scenes triggered which rules. I trust the recommendations because I can see the receipts."
A
Anna F.
Parent of three · Berlin
"My 5-year-old loves the voice search. She doesn't realize there's a content filter — she just thinks the app is smart."

FAQ

Common questions from parents

Everything you need to know before you start.

Yes. Kidoio is free for early families. There is no subscription, no paywall, and no credit card required for early access.

Which streaming platforms does Kidoio support? +

Kidoio currently supports YouTube, Netflix, Disney+, Vimeo, and Amazon Prime Video. Support for additional platforms is expanding.

How does Kidoio rate kids videos? +

Kidoio uses AI grounded in developmental psychology to analyse video content across behavioural dimensions such as empathy, aggression, cooperation, self-regulation, cognitive engagement, reward framing, adult boundaries, body autonomy, and content maturity.

Kidoio is designed for child privacy. Children do not need email accounts, there are no ads, and the kids app uses an opaque session token instead of direct child profiling.
