Why Screen Signals exists

Give parents a clearer answer about the creators their children watch.

YouTube channels can change quickly, and a creator who is fine for one age may not be a good fit for another. Screen Signals gives adult parents a practical starting point based on sampled public videos.

Check a creator

Free to use

Every public creator assessment is available without an account, payment, or child login.

Evidence-backed

Each guide shows its review date, evidence sample, and the public videos that shaped the rating.

Age-specific

The same observations produce separate ratings for ages 5–7, 8–10, 11–13, and 14–17.

Honest about limits

A sample cannot guarantee the suitability of every upload. Automated analysis can also miss humor, tone, context, or visual-only material.

The parent remains the decision-maker

Screen Signals summarizes observed patterns. It does not label a creator as universally safe or unsafe, and it does not replace a parent’s knowledge of their child. The goal is to make the first review faster and more informed.

How the public catalog grows

Parents can search the existing catalog or request an assessment for a new creator. Screen Signals confirms the exact YouTube channel, selects a sample of recent and popular public long-form videos, reviews available spoken content and public context, and publishes the result after its quality checks are satisfied.

Who uses Screen Signals

Screen Signals is intended only for adult parents and legal guardians. Children do not create accounts, submit information, request assessments, or operate the service. A parent uses the public resource to inform their own family decision.

Corrections and questions

A creator assessment can miss relevant context or become outdated. Factual corrections and material concerns can be sent through the private support form. Please do not include unnecessary child information.
