An app for kids to make videos, with a grown-up in charge

Why making is different from watching

Ask a child for a story and you get dragons who are scared of spoons, and a frog who wants to be a teapot. Kids Studio is built for that moment. Instead of scrolling, they make something, and the reward is hearing their own silly idea come to life. Then they run off and play.

How a session works

1. A parent turns on Kids Studio from their own account and sets the rules.
2. Your child picks a character: Bee, Mila the mole or Gabi the frog.
3. They pick a place: the garden, the seaside, the moon.
4. They say what happens, out loud or by tapping big picture buttons.
5. Bee asks a friendly question or two and helps shape the story.
6. They hear it come to life as a short mini video.
7. Bee says it's time to stop when the time is up, and the session ends.
8. You review it in the parent dashboard and decide what happens next.

Parent controls, in plain words

• Children never sign up themselves. A parent creates the account and gives consent first.
• You set a daily time limit (20 minutes by default) and the hours it's allowed.
• A parent PIN is needed to leave Kids Studio or change settings.
• Your dashboard shows every creation and a summary of each conversation. Delete anything, anytime.
• If something your child says sounds like a worry, Bee answers kindly, suggests they talk to their grown-up, and you get a notification.

What Kids Studio is designed never to do

• Ask for names, addresses, school, photos or secrets.
• Use the camera, show children's faces or clone a child's voice.
• Pretend to be a real person, or talk about anything other than making stories, songs and videos.
• Show ads, sell things, or let children share, chat with others or have a public profile.
• Send anything out of the app before a parent has reviewed it.

Every message and every reply passes a kid-safety filter. Voice is turned into text for the conversation and isn't kept by default, and tapping works just as well as talking.

Why not just a YouTube account?

YouTube’s terms say users must be at least 13, unless a parent or guardian enables it. Public uploads also bring views and attention that young children aren't ready for. Kids Studio keeps making private. If a creation is worth sharing, you decide how, as the grown-up.

A word on screen time

The 20-minute default is deliberate. Health groups such as the WHO recommend keeping sedentary screen time short for young children. Our idea is simple: make one silly video together, then go play.
