Every song,
parent-approved.
Even the bangers.

KidSafeTube reads the lyrics of every track before your kids hear it - scoring songs against the filters you set, and swapping anything blocked for a clean version or a vibe-matched alternative.

Project overview
What we built

Screening lyrics before the speakers do

Paste a YouTube link - one track or a whole playlist - and KidSafeTube reads every lyric before your kids hear it. It's built for families managing what plays in the car or the living room, and for schools, studios, event venues, and clinics that need music that fits the room.

Every song is evaluated across ten categories - profanity, sexual content, violence, drugs, discrimination, mature themes, scary imagery, religion, politics, and comments - so a flag means something specific, not a vague "explicit" tag.

Our solution & strategy
How we approached it

A bar per child, not per household

Rather than one blanket filter, we built preset profiles - Light, Standard, Strict, Sanctuary - that a family or venue can pick from or tune category by category, and set differently for each child rather than the whole household at once.

When a song gets blocked, the product doesn't just remove it - it looks for the official clean version, the radio edit, or a vibe-matched alternative, so the playlist still feels like the playlist. Finished lists reorder, accept new tracks, and export straight back to YouTube.

Design principle

Filtering shouldn't mean silence. Every block comes with a replacement, so kids still get the songs they love in a version their parents are fine with.

The outcome
Where it stands

Music parents don't have to pre-screen themselves

KidSafeTube is live and in use by families and institutions alike, turning a manual lyric-by-lyric check into a paste-a-link workflow - so the music stays current, and the surprises don't make it to the speakers.
