TubeGate – Content Guardian for YouTube

Choose which YouTube videos can play: age profiles, learning modes, categories, channels, time limits and parent alerts.

TubeGate lets you decide exactly which kinds of YouTube videos can play on this computer. • Age profiles: Little kids, Kids, Tweens, Teens and Adult • Purpose modes: Learning, Motivation, Focus, Fitness, Calm, Creativity, Languages, Music and more, which can switch automatically on a schedule • All 15 YouTube categories, trusted and blocked channels, blocked words, Shorts, live and age-restricted controls • Works on direct links, in-app navigation, Shorts and embedded videos • Daily time limits and allowed hours • PIN-protected admin console, with alerts to your phone, email, Telegram, Discord, Slack or a webhook Free, with one small sponsored suggestion TubeGate is free. To support it, the admin console shows one small, clearly labelled sponsored suggestion, chosen only from the modes you've picked, never from what anyone watches. On the Adult (18+) profile, a suggestion may also appear in the toolbar popup and on TubeGate's own block screen (the page TubeGate shows over YouTube when it blocks a video), labelled "Shown by the TubeGate extension, not by YouTube". TubeGate never changes or replaces YouTube's own ads. Some suggestions may be affiliate links; they are always labelled, and the developer may earn a commission if you buy after clicking. Ads never appear on other websites or in notifications, and children never see them. No data about you is sent to advertisers. You can turn ads off at any time under Ads in the admin console.
