EaseKid Player

Your videos.
Their channels.

EaseKid Player turns the videos you already own into a simple, safe TV for your child. No ads. No recommendations. No account. Nothing but the shows you chose.

iPad · iPadOS 16 or later

Built to watch less, not more

Most players are built to keep a child watching. This one is built to stop, and to stop kindly - a limit decides what may start, never what gets cut off halfway.

A daily limit per channel

Three episodes of one show, two of another. An afternoon can include something educational instead of six episodes of the same thing.

A window, not just a cap

Set the hours the app is available, so the iPad simply isn't a television before breakfast or after bedtime.

Never cut off mid-episode

An episode that has started is always allowed to finish. No child is ever stopped in the middle of a story, which is the argument that limits usually cause.

No navigation to get lost in

Your child sees channels with artwork, not folders. There is nothing to browse away into, because there is nothing else there.

One mode per age

You choose which one your child gets, and you can change it as they grow.

Your library, from your own server

EaseKid Player plays video files you already own, from a shared folder (SMB) on your own home network - a NAS, a Mac, or a PC. It reads the folder structure you already have: a folder per show, with optional season folders inside. Star a folder and it becomes a channel.

EaseKid Player does not include any video, and it is not a streaming service. It plays what is yours.

Private because there is nothing to collect

No account. No analytics. No advertising. No tracking.

The app never contacts us - we could not identify a user of it if we tried. Your server password is stored only in the iOS Keychain, and the only network connection the app makes is to the server you configured. The full detail is in the privacy policy.

Getting started

Set a parent passcode, add your server, star the folders that should become channels, set the limits, and pick the mode. The support page walks through each step.
