How it works

Three steps to a focused library

No setup wizards. No onboarding flows. Just add, set, and watch.

01

Lock it down (or don't)

Set up a parental passcode that puts you in charge. Only you can add channels, set screen time limits, and clear watch history. Or skip the passcode and use VideoFocus as a personal distraction-free player.

02

Add the channels & videos you trust

Search YouTube from inside the app. Subscribe to channels, save individual videos, build playlists, and mark favorites or Watch Later. Only what you add appears — nothing else.

03

Set screen time limits

Choose different daily limits for each day of the week. The app tracks viewing and locks playback when the limit is reached.

For families

Screen time you can actually enforce

No more "just one more video" negotiations. Set the limits, lock them with a passcode, and let the app handle the rest.

Weekly schedule

Set different limits for each day of the week. Weekdays 30min, weekends 2 hours — or whatever fits your family.

Hard lockout

At 100%, the app locks. A 90% warning gives a heads-up. No workarounds, no loopholes.

Extra time on request

Kids can request more time. You enter the passcode, they get 15 extra minutes. You stay in control.
