Why Gentle Next
Made to keep watching gentle.
A thoughtful balance of freedom for kids and control for parents, without the noise.
Protected parent controls
Settings and approvals stay behind a PIN or system unlock, so little hands can't wander.
Child focus
A calm, distraction-free player with no autoplay and no endless rabbit holes.
Local-first data
Watch history and preferences live on your device, not in someone else's cloud.
YouTube boundaries
YouTube, with the edges taken off.
Gentle Next keeps the videos kids love while leaving out the parts that make YouTube feel endless. A parent chooses the channels, and the player never nudges kids toward the next rabbit hole.
- Parent-approved channels only
- No autoplay or endless recommendations
- A PIN keeps settings off-limits
