Who picks the next video?
Video apps keep suggesting one video after another. A child can reach content you have never seen in a few taps. In Owlo Kids, even the next video comes from channels you approved.
How it works
-
Pick the channels
Add the channels and playlists you trust: search by name, paste a link or share one.
-
Start child mode
One tap starts child mode. The app locks; leaving it takes your PIN.
-
Relax
Set a daily limit if you like and see what was watched today. New videos follow your rules too.
Features
-
Approved channels only
Your child sees only the channels and playlists you added. No search, no suggestions, no comments.
-
Lock mode
Leaving child mode takes your PIN. Even after a restart, the app opens in child mode.
-
Time and breaks
Set a daily limit if you like; when time is up, a gentle closing screen appears. Pro adds day plans, breaks and bedtime.
-
New video check
Videos uploaded after you added a channel that are not marked for kids stay hidden. With Pro, new videos wait for your approval.
-
Reports
See how long and from which channels your child watched today. Pro adds weekly and monthly reports.
-
Phone and tablet
On Android and iPhone/iPad, in portrait, landscape and tablet layouts, with an in-app full-screen player.

Watch on TV Pro
With screen mirroring, the TV shows approved content only; time and lock rules still apply.
-
Co-parent Pro
A second parent manages the same family from their own phone: channels, rules and reports.
Trust and privacy
- No ads in the app.
- No tracking and no third-party analytics.
- No name, photo or birth date of your child: a nickname and a ready-made avatar are enough.

Frequently asked questions
Is it free?
Yes. The free version has no time limit: 1 child profile and 5 channels or playlists. An optional Pro subscription will offer more, with a 7-day free trial; prices are shown in the store for your country.
Do I need a YouTube account?
No. A parent account with your email is all you need for Owlo Kids.
Are there ads?
Owlo Kids shows no ads of its own. Videos play in YouTube’s official player, so ads that YouTube shows inside videos may appear.
Can my child leave the app?
Leaving child mode takes your PIN. With screen pinning on Android and Guided Access on iPhone/iPad, the phone is locked to the app too; the app shows you how, step by step.
Can I download videos?
No. YouTube’s rules do not allow downloading or offline playback.
Which devices does it work on?
Android phones and tablets, iPhone and iPad. To watch on a TV, Pro has a TV mode over screen mirroring.
Where is my data stored?
Your account and family settings are stored on servers in Europe (Frankfurt). You can delete your account in the app at any time.
The download link shows a blank page or says the app was not found. What can I do?
Open the link in your phone’s main browser rather than inside an app like WhatsApp: press and hold the link and choose “Open in Chrome”. Some phones (for example Xiaomi) open store links in their own app store; in Settings › Apps, turn off that store’s “open supported links” option and turn it on for Google Play. Also check that the right Google account is selected in the Play Store.
You choose, your child enjoys.
