I like it. What I would like actually, is a way to whitelist YouTube channels so that they can only play those channels on the YouTube app. Think that is possible?

Iv also been battling youtube for my kids. I have another solution called Channel Lab on iOS.

That's the thing, the YT app doesnt give you whitelist capabilities and that's the struggle I had myself, and the reason why I created this app. Even if I could find a way to limit the YT app with only whitelisted channels, it would be modifying the app itself, I'd also remove the Explore section (Gamers is my kid's kryptonite).

I essentially replace/remove all YT apps on his devices and DNS block youtube* and have my kid go through BrainRotGuard to get his video content now.

Oh I just checked out that iOS app, interesting. Yeah it would be a YT replacement app that works similiar to this.

Thanks for sharing! I'll explore a bit more, maybe I convert this to a mobile app instead in the future but I built this mainly for my own purposes and wanted to share to other similar parents.
