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.
Start freeBegin with one child, one device and one trusted lesson. 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
Selected by parent
▶The lesson you chose

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

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.
