Parent-controlled YouTube channel whitelisting, content filtering, and YouTube safety tools for families

Protect your children from inappropriate YouTube videos and create a safe viewing environment

YouTube Made Safe for Children and Teens

YouTube contains a vast amount of content, not all of which is appropriate for children/teens. Parents need a way to control what their children can access, filter out inappropriate videos, and create a safe YouTube environment.

SafeTube solves this problem by allowing parents to create a whitelist of approved YouTube channels. Children can only view content from these parent-approved channels, ensuring a safe browsing experience free from inappropriate content. It’s the perfect alternative to completely blocking YouTube.

Unlike YouTube Kids, SafeTube works on the regular YouTube platform while giving parents complete control over accessible content through channel whitelisting and content restrictions.
