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.
- Optionally connect your own YouTube account (read-only) and link a playlist to a child, so its videos flow into their library automatically — and you still review or remove each one.
- Let the front camera and microphone notice chewing on-device — chewing plays, stopping pauses with a friendly reminder.
- Or switch to Watch Time when your child just wants to watch: the same approved videos play for a set timer, then stop on their own — no chewing required, and no camera used at all.
- Keep kids in a safe, built-in player with no search, no recommendations, and no rabbit holes.
- Use a friendly Eating Buddy reminder that keeps the pause moment encouraging rather than shaming.
- Enjoy calmer mealtimes on iPhone or iPad, in your hands or on a stand.
