Coming soon

A cozy place for the videos you pick for your kids.

Make a YouTube playlist of videos you’re happy for your kids to watch. Blanketfort turns it into a calm little site they can use on their own.

Founding-family price: 75% off Your first year is $5 (normally $20). No payment now.

  • Only your picks

    Your kids see only the videos on your playlist. There’s no sidebar of recommendations pulling them somewhere else.

  • It stops at the end

    When a video ends, nothing plays next. Your kids can pick another one or go do something else.

  • Works in any browser

    It runs in your browser on any laptop, tablet, or phone, so there’s nothing to install. Your kids don’t need a YouTube account either.

Why I made this

I made the first version of Blanketfort for my son.

YouTube has a lot of great videos for kids. The problem is the next video, and the one after that.

So I put the videos I knew he’d like in a playlist and built a small site that plays only those. When a video ends, it stops.

Blanketfort is that site, for your family.

Jesse Dad, and the builder of Blanketfort

Questions parents ask

Why pay when YouTube Kids is free?
YouTube Kids decides a lot of what your kids see next. With Blanketfort, you pick every video, and nothing plays after the one they chose.
Will ads still play?
Blanketfort never adds ads of its own. Ads on a video come from YouTube and the video’s creator, so your playlist choices count.
Can my kid click through to YouTube?
We built Blanketfort to keep your kids with the videos you picked. There are no recommendations, no comments, and no “Up next” to pull them away.
What happens to my data and my kids’ data?
Right now we keep your email address and very little else. We never ask about your kids, and we never sell or share your data.

Build your family’s fort.
