HigherLife's own YouTube app

Is there a YouTube my kids can actually have?

Q: What does it cost?

Filtered YouTube comes with a HigherLife phone: $80 for six months or $160 for a year, per phone, paid up front, the same price on every plan, no setup fee.

Yes. Filtered YouTube is HigherLife's own YouTube app. Only the channels you pick, or all of YouTube without what you block. Search that shows only what HigherLife checked, in English and Hebrew. A daily limit, a bedtime, and closed on Shabbos and Yom Tov. Your child can ask for a video; you answer Allow or No. It opens from its own icon, like its own app.

HigherLife Enhancement mode

Every YouTube setting, one press away

HigherLife Enhancement mode is our own layer on top of YouTube. Inside our YouTube app, the Enhance tab sits right beside Home. One press opens this phone's YouTube settings from My HigherLife, the same screen as the portal: nothing to look for, nothing to remember. The film walks every setting on a real account.

The Enhance button and every YouTube setting behind it. Recorded by HigherLife.

Why HigherLife can do this, and an outside filter cannot

An outside filter watches the internet go by and tries to catch things on the way. HigherLife owns the browser YouTube runs in. So YouTube is not a website your child can wander around; it is an app we hand them, the way we built it:

	An outside filter	HigherLife
Ads	before, during, after	none
The address bar	open to the whole web	none: YouTube alone, nowhere else to go
A video before it plays	plays, then maybe blocked	checked first, or it does not start
Shorts, comments, up next, links	all there	each one its own switch, off until you say
Search	YouTube's own	checked by HigherLife, in English and Hebrew
A YouTube video inside another website	a hole in the fence	the same rules, the same checking
Shabbos and Yom Tov	nothing	closed by your zip code
When the outside filter has a bad day	wide open	nothing to break: it is our browser

We say what it does, not how. The how is ours.

How a family gets it, from A to Z

Pick a HigherLife phone. iPhone or Android. Order online and set it up at home, or a HigherLife rep sets it up while you wait, by appointment, at 1622 Coney Island Avenue, Brooklyn.
Pick the level. Focus, Balance, Flex or Freedom. $80 for six months or $160 for a year, per phone, paid up front, no setup fee, the same price on every plan.
Set YouTube up on My HigherLife. Add channels from the approved library with one press, or search (English or Hebrew) and add. Choose the switches: Shorts, comments, up-next, live, links, listen only. Set the daily limit, the bedtime, the Shabbos close.
Press Add to iPhone. YouTube lands on the home screen as its own icon and opens full screen, like its own app.
Answer the asks. Your child presses Ask a parent on a video; you tap Allow or No. See what was watched any time.

What a parent can set

Who plays

Only my own list, or All of YouTube. Block a channel. Allow one video, whatever its channel. Block a word, so a title holding it never plays.

A day: no limit, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 1½ hours, 2 hours. Bedtime: 9, 10 or 11 PM to 7 AM. Shabbos and Yom Tov: closed by your zip code.
