PodFocus is the podcast app you can actually hand to your kid. Every show your kid hears is one you approved - no algorithm, no autoplay rabbit holes, no surprises in the feed. You choose what each child can hear, set how long they can listen, and lock the rest behind a parent PIN. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create a profile for each kid - you set their name and age range, they pick a color and emoji avatar. 2. Browse the curated catalog of kid-safe shows and add the ones you want to each child's library. 3. Set a daily time limit per profile and lock the parent zone with a 4-digit PIN. That's it. Kids stay inside the library you built. You stay in charge. WHAT'S INSIDE • Curated, kid-safe catalog - hand-picked podcasts across science, stories, history, music, mindfulness, and more. For ages 3 to 12. • Room to grow - for the kid who's outgrowing the kids' catalog but isn't ready for a podcast app of their own. Turn on the full catalog for their profile to search every podcast, not just kids' shows. Off by default, shows marked explicit stay out, and you approve each one before they can listen. • A profile for every kid - separate libraries, separate listening history, on one device or shared across devices. • PIN-locked parent zone - everything that matters sits behind a 4-digit PIN, with a recovery code for when you forget it. One PIN for the whole family, on every device. • Daily time limits - set the minutes per child; today's listening is visible at a glance. • Offline downloads - save episodes for the car, the plane, or the cabin with no wifi. • Picks up where they paused - episodes resume exactly where your kid left off, even days later. • Built like a real audio app - background play, lock-screen and AirPods controls, and CarPlay Now Playing controls. • Parent-only listening history - see what each kid actually listened to, and when. • iCloud sync - profiles, libraries, and history stay in sync across your devices. • Share to their own device - send a child's profile to their iPad or iPhone, even on a different Apple ID. Their library follows them, and your parent PIN works there too. PRIVACY FIRST PodFocus has no ads, no subscription, no third-party tracking, and no analytics. There's no account to create. Your family's profiles and listening data live in your own iCloud - we never collect or see them. Requires iOS 18 or later. iPhone and iPad. Questions? hello@podfocus.app
