How it works

A podcast app you can actually hand to your kid

Three steps. Curated by you.

01

Set up a profile per kid

Add a profile for each kid in your family — one, two, three, four… You set the name and age range. They pick the color and emoji avatar that makes the profile feel like theirs.

02

Pick from the kid-safe catalog

You browse the catalog of kid-safe podcasts (ages 2–13) and pick which shows go where. Nothing slips into a kid's library without you.

03

Set limits, lock the parent zone

Daily minutes per profile. PIN-protected parent settings with a recovery code you can stash somewhere safe. Kids stay in their library; you stay in charge.

For families

One app, every kid.

Real families don't share a phone. Each kid in PodFocus gets their own profile, their own library, their own listening history — on one app on one device, or shared across devices.

Separate profiles, one device

Multiple kids, one iPhone or iPad. Switch profiles from the parent zone — libraries and listening time stay separate for each kid.

Share a profile to their own iPad

Send any profile to a device signed into a different Apple ID — like your kid's iPad. Their library follows them; you stay the only parent zone.

Listening history, parent-only

See what each kid listened to and when, from the parent zone. Spot patterns, find new favorites, or pull a show that didn't land the way you hoped.

Listen anywhere

Car rides. Planes. No-wifi cabins.

PodFocus was built around real listening: long drives, dinner cleanup, the bath, the bedtime wind-down. It works whether or not you have signal.

Offline downloads

Tap to download any episode. Once it's saved, it plays without internet — perfect for road trips and "the wifi is down again" hour.

Background audio + lockscreen

Real audio app behavior. The phone can sleep, you can switch apps, AirPods controls work, CarPlay sees it.

Picks up where they paused

Episodes resume exactly where they left off — mid-sentence if you have to. Continue Listening is right on the home screen.
