How it works

How Watchly works: two sides, one safe space

Watchly gives grown-ups simple controls and kids a Netflix-style library of only-approved videos — the same experience the animation walks through, step by step.

AI Safety Review

Every Video Rated Before They Watch

Even creators you trust post things you would not approve of. Subtle objectification, harassment, bullying: those are three of the 21 themes the Watchly AI checks every video for.

  • Safe, Caution or Unsafe on every video
  • 21 named themes, checked one by one
  • Read from what is actually said in the video
  • You still decide what goes in the library

What Kids Can't See

No Comments. No Ads. No Algorithm.

  • Comments completely removed
  • Parent-approved content only
  • No algorithm manipulation
  • Time limits that work
Parental Controls

Limits You Set Once

Give each child a daily watch time, a bedtime window and intermission breaks partway through. The app enforces all three, so the end of a session is not something your kid negotiates with you.

  • Daily watch time per child
  • A bedtime window that closes on its own
  • Intermission breaks partway through
  • Enforced by the app, on every device

Profiles

One Profile Per Kid, One Pause Button

Each child gets their own profile, with their own library and their own limits. From your phone you can see what any of them is watching right now, and pause it while it is playing.

  • A separate profile for each child
  • See what each child is watching right now
  • Pause any child’s screen instantly
  • A PIN keeps them in their own profile

No algorithm

No feed, no recommendation rail, no autoplay. Inside Watchly there’s nowhere else to go — just the library you built.

Zero ads

No pre-roll, no mid-roll, no banners, no sponsored anything. The video you approved plays — and nothing else.
