Every parent knows the feeling.
You hand over the device for ten minutes, look up, and somehow…
The rabbit hole
You said yes to one video. Autoplay said yes to a thousand more. Kids drift from a nursery rhyme to something you'd never have chosen.
'Kids' mode isn't enough
Even YouTube Kids lets questionable content and ads slip through. You can't fully trust the algorithm.
No real allowlist control
Regular YouTube has no strict 'only these channels' option. It's all or nothing.
You're flying blind
You have no idea what they actually watched today. No visibility, no peace of mind.
ViewHaven flips it around.
Instead of trying to block the bad stuff (impossible to keep up with), ViewHaven only ever shows the channels you've approved. Nothing else exists inside the app.

Per-child profiles with safeguards

Remote locking
Pause screen time remotely with a custom message such as "Time for dinner".

Common questions
Is ViewHaven just for younger kids?+
Not at all - ViewHaven is built for kids of every age, and honestly, older kids often need it more. Younger children stick to what you hand them, but tweens and teens are the ones who go looking for just five more minutes and end up an hour deep in a scroll they can't explain. A few features exist specifically for that: Block Shorts turns off short-form vertical clips, the format built for endless scrolling and the single biggest rabbit hole for older kids. Daily time limits cap total watch time regardless of how many one more video moments happen. Bedtime and allowed-hours schedules shut the app down late at night, when unsupervised scrolling does the most damage. Blocked keywords and videos filter out content that slips past channel approval as kids get more curious and independent. Watch history and Family Sync let you see exactly what they watched and adjust limits remotely as their habits change.
Is my child's data safe?+
Yes. We do not gather any personal detail about what you or your children have been viewing. Watch history stays on your account and we never sell data.
Does it work on phones and tablets?+
Yes - ViewHaven is designed for phones and tablets alike.
Does it work on my TV?+
TV native app launch is scheduled during August 2026.
How is this different from YouTube Kids?+
YouTube Kids relies on filters that still let things slip through. ViewHaven uses a strict allowlist - if you didn't approve the channel, it doesn't exist inside the app.
Do my kids need their own account?+
No. Children stay account free and history free - only the parent sets up a profile and PIN. On ViewHaven Plus you can have unlimited child profiles under one parent account.
When will it be on the App Store / Play Store?+
Play Store release is scheduled for 12 July 2026. App Store is scheduled for release on 30 July 2026.
Can I block just one video without removing the whole channel?+
Yes - you can hide a specific video from any approved channel while keeping the rest of that channel available. Perfect for when one upload doesn't fit your family's values.
