Choose which YouTube videos can play.

TubeGate is a Chrome extension for families. Pick who is watching and what it's for, and TubeGate checks every video before it plays, protected by your own PIN.

Coming soon to the Chrome Web Store.

Age profiles

Little kids, Kids, Tweens, Teens and Adult, each with sensible defaults you can adjust.

Purpose modes

Learning, Motivation, Focus, Fitness, Calm, Creativity, Languages and more, which can switch on a schedule.

Every way in

Direct links, in-app navigation, Shorts and embedded videos are all checked before they play.

Your rules

All 15 YouTube categories, trusted and blocked channels, blocked words, Shorts, live and age-restricted videos.

Time limits

Daily watch time and allowed hours, with a friendly rest screen.

Parent alerts

Know when a video is blocked or someone asks for access, by phone push, email, Telegram, Discord, Slack or webhook.

Free, with one small sponsored suggestion

TubeGate shows one clearly labelled suggestion to the adult who manages it, chosen from the modes you pick and never from what anyone watches. Children never see ads, nothing about you is sent to advertisers, and you can switch ads off at any time. Read the privacy policy.
