A Boss-controlled YouTube whitelist for Minions. The Boss approves channels, playlists, or videos. Minions just tap and watch — no login, no Shorts, no rabbit holes, no junk. Works on every platform.
YouTube has a ton of amazing, inspiring content. But it also has an even bigger pile of garbage - and the algorithm actively pushes it. A Mozilla crowdsourced study found 71% of harmful videos users flagged came straight from YouTube's own recommendations, not searches. The AAP's 2025 policy on digital ecosystems lays out the attention, sleep, and mood effects on developing brains.
YouTube Kids only has baby stuff, and YouTube Kids' "Approved content mode" is iOS/Android only - which doesn't help when my kids are on computers. I needed something that worked everywhere, didn't require the kids to log in, and stayed dead simple.
So: YouCanWatchThis is a whitelist. The Boss (you) decides what's on it. Minions (kids) only see that. No Shorts feed, no recommendations, no escape routes - if it's not on the list, it doesn't exist. Works on any device with a browser; add it to the home screen if you want the app feel.
A free default Collection works anonymously out of the box. $1/year unlocks your own - the dollar exists for now purely as a grown-up check so sneaky kids can't self-approve their way into chaos. Delete your data in one click, cancel any time.
Would love your feedback.
