Parent-directed
The adult parent or legal guardian is the sole user, account holder, purchaser, and product operator.
Help the parent see the pattern—not just the screen-time total.
ScreenSignals is an independent, U.S.-only service for adult parents and legal guardians who want a clearer view of the YouTube content shaping a child’s recent viewing.
Start my child’s reportEvidence-backed
Important report signals link to available supporting examples so the parent can review context before acting.
Conversation-first
The product is designed to help a parent understand interests and ask better questions—not silently police a child.
Honest about limits
Automated analysis can miss humor, tone, context, unavailable content, and private family circumstances.
The problem we are trying to solve
Screen-time totals answer how long an app was open. A raw history list shows individual titles. Neither makes it easy for a busy parent to understand what filled the month, which formats kept repeating, where a real interest is emerging, or which examples deserve a closer look.
ScreenSignals organizes supported parent-provided YouTube Watch History into a private 30-day report. The parent can explore the content mix, channels, trends, evidence, recommendations, and conversation ideas while retaining responsibility for every family decision.
Who ScreenSignals is—and is not—for
ScreenSignals is intended only for adult parents and legal guardians. It is not designed, marketed, or offered for use by children. A child profile contains report-subject information supplied and controlled by the parent; it is not a child user account.
Children must not create accounts, sign in, purchase subscriptions, provide information, upload history, or operate the service. A separate product for adults analyzing their own viewing would require a separate brand and site.
Our public-guide editorial standards
- Write for a real parent question. Each guide should solve a distinct task rather than repeat a keyword in slightly different language.
- Prefer primary sources. Platform instructions should link to Google or YouTube. Health and development context should come from qualified professional bodies or original research.
- Separate fact from interpretation. We identify platform behavior, product methodology, practical suggestions, and uncertainty rather than blending them together.
- Avoid alarmist claims. Slang such as “brainrot,” one video, or one automated score is not a medical diagnosis or proof of harm.
- Use meaningful update dates. A guide’s date changes when its substance or current platform instructions are reviewed—not merely to make the page look fresh.
- Correct errors. Verifiable factual corrections are reviewed and incorporated when appropriate.
Professional and product boundaries
ScreenSignals is a parenting technology service, not a medical, mental-health, educational, legal, or emergency service. Public guides provide general information. They do not replace advice from a qualified professional familiar with a child and family.
Channel recommendations are starting points for parent preview, not blanket approval of every video a channel has published. Product scores and classifications likewise remain signals for parent review.
Contact and corrections
Questions about the product, methodology, public guides, privacy requests, or factual corrections can be sent through the private support form. Please do not include unnecessary child information, viewing history, or report details.
