Questions
Straight answers, in plain language.
A calmer way for kids to watch YouTube. You tell us about your kid (age, interests, what to avoid) and we set up a video library just for them, drawn from a catalog of channels I’ve personally watched and vetted. It refreshes with new uploads from those same channels.
YouTube Kids filters a firehose with automation and still decides what your kid sees next. Wonderstream starts from a small catalog a real parent has vetted, and when a video ends, it ends. No autoplay, no "Up Next", no comments, no recommendation rabbit hole.
Yes, free while it’s small. It’s a pilot and it’s just me building it. Longer-term pricing isn’t decided yet, and pilot families will hear first and get a fair landing spot.
We add no ads of our own. Videos play through YouTube, so a creator’s own ads can still appear inside a video. That’s the honest answer.
I do. I’m Heenal, a homeschooling dad of two in London, Ontario. Every channel in the catalog is one I’ve watched and vetted myself. The matching of channels to your kid is automated; what’s in the catalog is not.
Designed for kids 4 to 12. The catalog leans educational: science, math, art, music, reading, movement and more.
You pair their tablet or computer once with a short code from your dashboard. After that they get their own library, no account or password needed on their end.
Yes. Your dashboard shows exactly what was watched and when, plus what they favourited and what they hid.
Kids can hide any video and tell you why, and you can hide or unhide anything from your dashboard. If a whole channel is wrong for your family, remove it from their library.
Yes please. When you add a channel to your family’s library it also lands in my review queue, and the good ones graduate into the catalog for everyone.
