Fishtank is a calm, ad-free pocket of YouTube for the kid videos parents actually like. Hand-picked channels. No algorithm. No autoplay rabbit holes. No "watch next" pulling kids into questionable corners of the internet. Just channels we trust — and only their videos.
THE FISHTANK PROMISE
Tap a fish in the dock and you're in that channel — and only that channel. There's no related-content sidebar. There are no recommendations pushing your kid to something we didn't pick. Channel pages stay on-rails.
WHAT'S INSIDE
Hand-curated channels and growing — Bluey, Sesame Street, Ms Rachel, Bob Ross, The Magic School Bus, Numberblocks, Plim Plim, El Reino Infantil, Plaza Sésamo, Canticos, Gracie's Corner, Karma's World, Doggyland, Nat Geo Kids, SciShow Kids, GoNoodle, Cosmic Kids Yoga, Storyline Online, Khan Academy Kids, and more.
5 calm categories — Stories, Learn, Make, Explore, Move.
Search the whole library.
"Today's pick" hero refreshed every 12 hours so kids see variety without chasing a new dopamine hit.
Math-gated grown-ups area — kids can't accidentally tap into settings or sign-in screens.
Spanish-content channels for bilingual households (Plaza Sésamo, El Reino Infantil, Plim Plim, Canticos).
FOR EACH KID
Sign in with Apple/Create an account via email to add per-kid profiles. Each profile has its own avatar and age, and channels auto-filter to what fits that kid. Watch history lives per profile so you actually know what they watched.
HOW WE CHOOSE
Every channel is vetted against current expert guidance. We lean on:
Common Sense Media reviews
ASHA Leader (speech-language pathology coverage of Ms. Rachel's methods)
American Academy of Pediatrics screen-time and no-screens-before-bed guidance
Kearney & Levine's NBER research documenting measurable school-readiness gains from Sesame Street
NAACP Image Award coverage of Gracie's Corner
We do not use the YouTube algorithm. We do not show kids recommendations beyond our list. When a video is wrong for the tank, parents can report it from the watch screen — also behind a math gate, so it's actually a parent doing the reporting.
PRIVACY
Videos play through YouTube's privacy-enhanced embed. Fishtank itself collects no data on your child. Accounts belong to the parent, signed in with Apple — your child does not have an account.
Fishtank is built for the parent who wants to hand the phone over and not worry.
