What’s New Version 1.6.2
Bug fixes and enhancements
Description
YouTube's algorithm decides what your child watches — and it gets it wrong. Inappropriate videos slip through filters. Shorts hijack attention spans. Rabbit holes lead somewhere you'd never approve.
VidCove gives you back control. You choose the YouTube channels. Your child only sees what you've approved. No algorithm. No Shorts. No surprises.
With VidCove, parents can:
• Approve specific YouTube channels for each child
• Block YouTube Shorts entirely
• Enable per-video approval with Strict Mode
• Monitor viewing activity and watch history
• Get AI-powered safety analysis on channels and videos
• Unlimited screen time limits.
• Preview exactly what your child sees before handing over the screen
Children get a calm, focused viewing experience with only the content you trust. Parents get peace of mind.
VidCove also supports Plex media libraries — assign movies and TV shows from your own server to each child for a fully curated screen time experience.
Built by a parent. Built for parents.
VidCove is free to get started with one child and up to 5 channels. VidCove Premium unlocks unlimited children, unlimited channels, Plex streaming, weekly email digests, AI content analysis, and more — with a 7-day free trial.
No ads. No tracking your child. No data collection.

Screen Time is here. Set a daily budget for each kid, and when time runs out VidCove puts down the sun on their screen — gently, on schedule. Kids can ask for more time with a tap; you approve or deny from your phone, wherever you are.
• Screen Time limits — daily budgets with a sunset animation when time's up
• Recommendation Packs — curated channel bundles (Science & Discovery, Art & Creativity, Nature & Animals, and more) with AI safety grades
• Safety Grades — every channel graded on content, shorts & dopamine design, age clarity, and educational value
• Redesigned child browse — cleaner grid, YouTube and Plex in separate tabs
• Revamped onboarding — faster path from signup to a working kid profile
As always: no ads, no autoplay rabbit holes, no algorithmic rows your kid didn't ask for. Just the channels you approved.
