KnowGately

A practical family tutorial

What is KnowGately for?

You choose a small, purposeful path through videos, webpages and files. Your child opens that path in a separate Kids app instead of entering an open feed or browser.

Three everyday uses

Less wandering. More intention.

KnowGately is useful when the material is valuable but the surrounding platform is distracting.

Use case 1

One YouTube lesson, without the rabbit hole

Assign the exact video. The Kids app removes access to Shorts, open search, comments, the general feed and unrelated navigation.

  • One parent-selected video
  • No Shorts or open feed
  • No address bar or comments

KnowGately has no ad inventory. YouTube may still serve ads inside its official embedded player.

Use case 2

Learning first, dessert later

Set a daily learning minimum, then let a reward subject unlock when the learning goal is reached.

  • Clear daily goals
  • Rewards stay locked until ready
  • The server checks every rule
Learning goal15 of 15 min
Later dessertLocked while learning remains
Ready after the goal

You decide what counts as learning and what counts as a reward.

Use case 3

A useful webpage, with less advertising noise

Give one approved page. KnowGately keeps navigation within the parent-approved scope and filters obvious advertising requests and labelled ad containers.

  • One approved starting page
  • Obvious ads are reduced
  • Out-of-scope links are blocked
Parent-approved page
Focused article
Obvious ad filtered
Links stay within the approved scope

We make a best-effort attempt to reduce advertising without breaking the page or violating provider policies. Some provider content may still appear.

From setup to progress

Four steps, two coordinated apps

  1. Choose

    Create a subject and add the exact video, webpage, PDF or image.

  2. Pair

    Connect the child's Android or Windows device with a one-time code.

  3. Learn

    The child sees only the subjects and material you made available.

  4. Review

    Check time, completion and attempts to leave the approved experience.

Parent

The parent side

  • Chooses content

  • Pairs and manages devices
  • Reviews progress
Kids

The child side

  • Opens assigned subjects
  • Uses a calm, bounded player
  • Sees what is done and what is next
  • Cannot browse an open feed

Try the smallest useful setup

One lesson is enough to begin.

Create the parent account, add one child and pair the Kids app. You can add more structure later.
