Why We Built This
KidSight started because one parent got tired of guessing which YouTube videos were actually good for his kid.
We built KidSight because every parent deserves to feel confident about their screen time choices.
Like a lot of parents, I found myself previewing YouTube videos at 2x speed, reading comments, and still not knowing if what my kid was about to watch was helping or hurting.
Then I started reading the research. Not blog posts — actual published studies on how different types of screen content affect developing brains. And I realized: the information exists. The science is clear. It's just buried in journals that no parent has time to read.
So I built KidSight to do what I was doing manually — watch the video, evaluate it against the research, and give parents a straight answer. Not a vague age label. Not "educational" slapped on a thumbnail. A real, specific breakdown of what the video does to a child's focus, learning, behavior, and trust.
This isn't a big company. It's one parent who built a tool he needed and decided other parents might need it too.
Our Mission
Help parents make better screen time decisions using actual science instead of guesswork.
That's it. We don't lecture parents about how much screen time they allow. We just make sure whatever time you give your kid is spent on content that's worth their attention.
Our Values
Our Promise
Always improving
As new research comes out, we update our analysis. The science doesn't stand still and neither do we.
Accessible
Child development science shouldn't require a PhD to understand. We translate it into plain language that any parent can use.
