Tubsy is a safe YouTube player for kids
Your child only sees videos, playlists, and channels you've approved.
YouTube is a rabbit hole.
Your child is just one click away from content you'd never approve.
Kids start on their favourite channel — and the algorithm does the rest. Suggested videos lead to more suggested videos. Within minutes, they've drifted far from where they started. Not by accident. That's exactly how YouTube is built.
See for yourself how quickly YouTube leads children into places they shouldn't be.
Try the Rabbit Hole SimulatorTubsy makes YouTube safe for kids
No algorithm. No recommendations. No ads in the app. Parents approve any videos, playlists, and channels on YouTube. Kids only see what's been approved for them. Everything else is safely blocked and never shown.
Search YouTube and select what your child may see
Search YouTube directly inside Tubsy. Found the perfect channel, playlist, or video? Approve it with one tap. Everything else stays out.
Tubsy has everything parents need
Tubsy comes with all the features parents wish for.
Granular Approval
Select specific videos, entire playlists, or complete channels. Only these appear in your children's feed.
Real Channel Feed
As soon as an approved channel uploads a new video, it automatically appears in your children's safe feed.

Guaranteed Ad-Free
No ads, no tracking, and no unexpected interruptions. Your child enjoys a protected environment featuring only the content you've personally approved.

Guides for Parents
Everything you need to know about safe YouTube for kids.
Safe YouTube for Kids
YouTube offers great content for kids — but the algorithm, automatic recommendations, and unvetted content make unsupervised watching risky. Tubsy changes that.
Read guide →Control YouTube
YouTube has content for every age and interest. With Tubsy you decide which of it your child is allowed to see — and which stays invisible.
