Maka Kids Beta: TV for Growth
Expert-vetted shows for 0-6
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A streaming app built for how kids grow, not how long they watch. No ads. No addictive algorithm. Built in collaboration with researchers at Yale Child Study Center.
You already let your kid watch videos. The hard part is everything after you press play: the recommendations, the next-up suggestions, the rabbit hole.
Maka Kids Beta is built so you can press play and actually relax. You set the time limit. Maka holds it.
Why Maka Kids Beta
Most apps for kids are built for engagement, to keep them watching. Maka Kids is built for growth: what they actually need at their age and stage.
Every show is vetted by the Maka team using Imprint, a developmental framework built in collaboration with researchers at Yale Child Study Center. We screen for:
- Age-fit and pacing
- Emotional tone and the behavior it models
- Imagination, language, and problem-solving
- Whether it holds up to the tenth rewatch
You don't need to pre-watch. You don't need to research. Just press play.
What's in the Beta:
- Hundreds of expert-vetted shows for kids ages 0–6, with more added every day
- Eight channels, refreshed daily — from making friends to big feelings to STEM learning
- You set the time limit for each session. Maka holds it (15, 30 minutes, or more — your call)
- Sessions end with wind-down cues so transitioning isn't a battle
- A locked player kids can't tap out of
- A protected Parent Zone to choose the skills you want to support
- Big screen ready via AirPlay
- A direct line to our team: every piece of feedback is read by a real person
About the Beta:
Maka Kids is still evolving, with new shows added daily. Your feedback shapes what we build next. If you're here, you're a founding family. Thank you.
Who it's for:
Parents and caregivers of kids 0–6 who are tired of vetting every video, hate the "just one more" loop, and want a video app that respects how kids grow.
