Safe videos for kids — chosen by parents
Mitti GO is a bright, simple app for kids, built on YouTube. Parents allow channels and playlists, and the child sees only those — on phone, tablet and Android TV. No recommendation feed, no comments, no way out to YouTube.

No views, no likes
A picture, a title and a duration — and no popularity counters.
lock
No way out of the player
Logo, links, end-screen suggestions — every jump to YouTube is quietly blocked.
search
Search stays inside
It looks only through what a parent added, right on the device.
Why not just YouTube
YouTube is built for grown-ups. Mitti-GO is built for your child.
The regular YouTube app is designed to keep people watching. Mitti GO does the opposite: it shows only what you chose and never nudges for more.

Set up in a couple of minutes
Three steps, then press play
1
Pick a language
For the whole app — and for channel suggestions.

2
Create a PIN
Four digits lock the parent area. The child's side opens without one.
3
Add channels
From Mitti GO's suggestions or your own — by name, @handle or link. You can skip this step.
check
Hand the phone over
Your child sees only what you chose. New videos from those channels appear on their own.
For your child
Clear even before they can read
Big pictures, big buttons and icons instead of words. Easy for little ones, never babyish for older kids.
view_agenda
One big video per row
No carousels, no endless shelves. The unfinished video sits on top.
play_circle
Shorts only if you say so
Off by default. Turn them on and only Shorts from allowed channels appear — never a global feed.
touch_app
Autoplay is off
Your child picks what plays next. Prefer otherwise? Switch it on in settings.
sentiment_satisfied
Nothing scary
When something is no longer allowed, it simply disappears. No “Blocked by your parent”.
The player
Watch Mitti-GO, yes.
Watch Mitti-GO, yes.
Wander off to YouTube, no.
Videos play in YouTube's official player, and Mitti GO closes every way out of it.
replay
Our own end screen
“Watch again” and what's next — only from allowed videos. YouTube's suggestions can't be tapped.
queue_play_next
Up Next that makes sense
Watching a playlist? The playlist continues. Opened a channel? That channel's videos.
bookmark_added
Remembers where they stopped
The unfinished video waits first on Home with a Keep watching tag.
screen_rotation
Pauses in the background
Leave the app and the video pauses. Turn the phone for full screen.

For parents
A calm control centre behind a PIN
The parent area opens from the Profile tab. Everything is at hand: content, Shorts, language, theme, security.
fingerprint
PIN or biometrics
Fingerprint or Face ID if you like. The PIN is always the fallback.
lock_clock
Done locks everything
Press Done, step into the child area or leave the app — the parent area locks at once.
password
Guessing doesn't work
After five wrong tries the keypad pauses. A restart or a clock change won't reset it.

Counters like “3 / 5” and plain labels: Included, Hidden, Paused.

FAQ
What parents usually ask
Can I add playlists without the whole channel?add
Yes. Choose “Playlists only” — the rest of the channel stays closed and your child can't open its page.
Can I allow or block a single video?add
No — only channels and playlists. It's easier to keep track, and new videos arrive on their own. If a channel has a playlist you don't want, hide it.
What does the star do?add
It's a Favorite: the channel comes first on your child's Home and Library. A star grants nothing and doesn't count toward limits.
What if I forget my PIN?add
There's no back door inside the app — that's exactly what keeps kids out. Reinstall it: Mitti GO starts fresh and you add your channels again.
Does it need the internet?add
To watch and to add channels — yes. Removing a channel, hiding a playlist or starring work offline. Offline, your child sees the list that's already saved.
Will my child see ads?add
Mitti GO shows no ads of its own. Ads YouTube sometimes plays inside its player stay — YouTube's rules forbid hiding them.
How do I turn Shorts off?add
They're off from the start. Switch them in Profile → Shorts, and separately for each channel.
Can I remove a channel but keep a few playlists?add
Yes: Remove → Keep some playlists. The ones you tick stay as separate items and keep their star.
A video won't play — what now?add
Some creators don't allow their videos in other apps, and live streams aren't supported — Mitti GO simply doesn't show those. If a video won't load, check the connection and tap Try again.
Which devices does it run on?add
Android and iOS, phones and tablets, plus Android TV. On a tablet you get two columns of videos and the player with Up Next beside it. Light and dark themes included.
Mitti-GO is coming soon
The app is getting ready for Google Play and the App Store. Safe content, happy kids.
