I’d be in the market for this, but didn’t get enough info to sign up.
My first questions were:
- do I need a YouTube account?
- do I need a premium YouTube account?
- can I use it on my tv?
- and more generally, how does it work? (Which should answer all above)
Current solution is: download YouTube videos my son is interested in to Plex, watch them on the tv (or iPad)
I also have YouTube premium, but barely use it.

Same for me. I also download videos and put them on a USB stick plugged into the TV.

Hey i'd love to use it but may be add a little more description in the landing page to build confidencee before a parent can signup for the service! That has kept me away from signing up TBH. The premise of the product seems promising. I was thinking of building a whole device for parents to block content on the https traffic level

On the webpage - "Learn more in your parent account: About."
So I click About and it asks me to login or create an account.
Instant nope from me.

How does it stop Youtube from showing recommendations?

Agree with other commenters this needs a better landing page with some screens or a video demo. Especially for a product where building trust with your family would be a necessity.

Looks interesting but I would want some public information about how it works and who is doing it, etc... The complete lack of any available details must be stopping many potential users.

Friction is the problem with something like this. If my kid grabs my phone, or uses the LG TV Youtube App, or the Apple TV app, or the PlayStation 5, can all of those default to KidScreen?
If it can't solve all those, there's absolutely no utility for me. If I were willing to become the kind of authoritarian taskmaster that tightly controls which devices my kids use to watch something at all times, I would already not need KidScreen.

Technically, 0 is a finite number. It's also the optimal number of youtube videos for a kid.
