Huvi is a video streaming app that puts parents in control of what their kids watch. With Huvi, parents (not corporations) decide what their kids watch on YouTube. Huvi lets parents create interest-centered, personalized playlists for their child and gives moms and dads peace of mind, knowing that their kids can watch only the content they approved.
With Huvi, kids can’t search YouTube and can only access the content their parents choose for them. There’s no chance that those “how to juggle” videos will turn into “how to juggle knives”.
Huvi is simple (and fun!) to use. First, moms and dads create a profile for their child. Next, parents use Huvi to search and screen YouTube videos that their child might enjoy. Once the video gets the “A-OK” from mom or dad, they add it to their kid’s profile and it’s ready to watch. Kids watch their videos within the app, without ever having access to YouTube (or it’s sometimes scary content).
Huvi is 100% free. Your account and video profiles are stored in the cloud, so content automatically syncs across multiple devices.
Huvi is the brainchild of Doug and Chenin Boutwell. The Boutwells began searching for an app that would allow their son, Max, to watch his favorite educational videos without having access to all of YouTube and its grown-up content. After coming up short, Chenin and Doug used their background in software and app development to make Huvi. Their mission is simple: to let moms and dads decide whats appropriate for their kids, NOT corporations and computer algorithms.
