Perceptual Video Analysis
Know What Your Kids Are Really Watching
CalmKiddo analyzes video at the perceptual level — scene cuts, color intensity, and motion velocity — so one calm score tells you whether content is safe for your child's developing brain.
Fast, erratic motion is a key predictor of overstimulation in children under 8. CalmKiddo catches it frame-by-frame.

Platform Features
Everything You Need for Children's Content Safety
A pre-scored YouTube Kids library and a Chrome extension, powered by four perceptual-analysis modules working in concert.
Pre-Scored YouTube Kids Library
Browse a curated library of kids' videos, each pre-analyzed and tagged with a calm score. No uploads, no scanning lag — just safe content, ready to watch.
Scene Cut Analysis
Detects rapid scene transitions that correlate with overstimulation in young children. Measures cuts per minute and flags segments that exceed age-appropriate thresholds.
Color Intensity Mapping
Analyzes color saturation, contrast ratios, and flicker patterns across every frame. High-intensity color shifts are linked to increased excitability in young viewers.
Motion Velocity Tracking
Measures pixel displacement between frames to quantify motion speed and visual chaos. Age-specific thresholds catch the chaotic on-screen motion that young brains struggle to process.
Composite Calm Score
Combines scene cut frequency, color intensity, and motion velocity into a single 0–100 calm score. One number you can act on before pressing play.
Chrome Extension + Parent Dashboard
Install the Chrome extension to see calm-score badges on every YouTube thumbnail. Set age-based thresholds in the parent dashboard to filter what your kids can open.
Peace of Mind
Hand Over the Tablet Without the Guilt
Sit next to your kid, not over their shoulder. Every video in the CalmKiddo library is scored before they press play — and when they browse YouTube, our Chrome extension surfaces the calm score right on the thumbnail.
- Pre-analyzed library — no scanning lag, no surprises
- Age-based thresholds filter out overstimulating content
- Green, amber, and red badges that kids understand too
Why CalmKiddo
What Makes Us Different
Most parental controls rely on content ratings and keyword filters. CalmKiddo goes deeper, analyzing the visual stimulus itself.
Science-Backed
Grounded in Pediatric Neuroscience
CalmKiddo's analysis is built on published research linking rapid scene cuts, high color saturation, and erratic motion to elevated cortisol and reduced attention span in children. Every threshold is calibrated to age-specific developmental data.
Perceptual Analysis
Beyond Keyword Filters
Traditional parental controls scan for bad words or age ratings. CalmKiddo analyzes the visual stimulus itself: how fast scenes change, how vivid the colors are, how much motion fills the screen. Content that passes every keyword filter can still overstimulate a child's brain.
Family First
