Chew to watch
Mealtime videos that play only while your child is chewing.
MunchGuard turns mealtimes into a gentle game. The video plays while your child eats and pauses with a friendly reminder when they stop — and you approve every exact video they can see.

What MunchGuard Helps You Do
- Build a closed, parent-approved library from exact video links you already choose — paste a link, or share one to MunchGuard from the YouTube app or Safari.
- Keep separate libraries and progress for each child profile, so siblings can have different approved videos and goals.
- Let the front camera and microphone notice chewing on-device — chewing plays, stopping pauses with a friendly reminder.
- Keep kids in a safe, built-in player with no search, no recommendations, and no rabbit holes.
- See a friendly post-meal summary with watch time and chew streaks, and pick a chew-buddy character who eats along with your child.
- Enjoy calmer mealtimes on iPhone or iPad, in your hands or on a stand.
Free & Premium
Chew-to-watch playback and your approved video library are available without Premium. MunchGuard Premium unlocks advanced family features:
- Connect your own YouTube account to import playlists and liked videos you already curated (read-only — MunchGuard only ever sees content you chose), so you can fill your approved library without pasting every link by hand.
- Smart Library Rotation, playlists, multiple child profiles with separate libraries, extra chew-buddy characters, buddy wardrobe, Kid Mode themes, widgets, Live Activity, and celebration styles.
- Buddy Adventure Pass rewards with outfits, rooms, badges, and seasonal milestones.
- Optional parent voice reminders, caregiver PDF reports, and a calm-down breathing moment on the pause screen.
