Description
COONI is a YouTube parental control app. Instead of an algorithm deciding what plays next, parents choose: allow only the channels you trust, hide one video without blocking the whole channel, and filter topics like brainrot, scary videos and pranks across every channel and search. Shorts are kept apart and never autoplay. Set daily limits and viewing hours behind a Parent PIN. Videos play in the official YouTube player. Works on phones, tablets and laptops. Free, with an optional Plus plan.

Could you build this?
Partial Building the parental controls dashboard is easy, but reliably intercepting, filtering, and modifying YouTube's dynamic client-side web application or native mobile app requires complex client extensions or reverse-engineered wrappers.
What it would actually take: Requires either a custom Android/iOS client wrapper using the YouTube IFrame API/NewPipe-like parser or a browser extension that dynamically injects content scripts into YouTube's DOM. Video metadata, transcripts, and channel IDs must be piped through an NLP classification service to filter specific content types in real-time. Developing this requires deep expertise in DOM manipulation against heavily obfuscated web frontends or reverse-engineering mobile app video streams.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a compliance & governance tool for Horizontal yet.
