Chew to watchMealtime 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.

Calmer meals, on your terms.
You choose every video. MunchGuard handles the gentle pause-and-play.
Parent-approved library
Build a closed library from exact video links you already choose — paste a link, or share one to MunchGuard from the YouTube app or Safari.
A profile per child
Separate libraries and progress for each child profile, so siblings can have different approved videos and goals.
Optional YouTube playlists
Connect your own YouTube account (read-only) and link a playlist to a child. You still review or remove each video.
Chew to watch, on-device
The front camera and microphone notice chewing on-device — chewing plays, stopping pauses with a friendly reminder.
Watch Time mode
Approved videos play for a set timer, then stop on their own — no chewing required, and no camera used at all.
No rabbit holes
A safe, built-in player with no search, no recommendations, and an Eating Buddy that keeps pauses encouraging, not shaming.
Set it on a stand. Pick a video. Start Kid Mode.
Face the front camera toward your child and choose a parent-approved video before Kid Mode begins. Works on iPhone and iPad in portrait or landscape.
