WatchGate lets a parent choose which YouTube channels their child is
allowed to browse. Inside those channels, a child can look through
recent videos — but nothing plays until the parent taps “approve”
on their own phone.
How it works
A parent adds the YouTube channels they're comfortable with their child watching.
The parent pairs their child's device to the app with a one-time code.
Their child browses recent videos from only those channels.
When the child picks a video, the parent gets a notification with the video's title, channel, and a link to preview it — and can approve it once, or mark the whole channel as always-approved.
Only after approval does the video play, using YouTube's own standard player.
