How to use COONI

The guided setup takes about 3 minutes. You can change everything later.

1. Create your parent account

   Sign up with your Gmail address and a password, then open the link in the confirmation email. Only parents have accounts; your child never needs one.

2. Choose your Parent PIN

   Pick 4 digits. The PIN keeps Parent Mode closed to little hands; every rule change needs it. Forgot it? Tap "Forgot PIN?" and enter your account password.

3. Follow “Set up COONI”

   Right after the PIN, a short guided setup (about 3 minutes) helps you choose channels, the kinds of videos, what to block and screen time. Everything saves as you go. Busy? Tap “Skip for now” and finish from the Dashboard later, or run it again in Settings → Run setup. The steps below show where each setting lives in Parent Mode.

4. Allow the channels you trust

   Parent Mode → Channels. Pick from the suggested kids’ channels, or search by name or paste a channel link, @handle or video link. Check the @handle and subscriber count to find the official channel, tap Preview to look inside, then Allow. With "Only channels I allow", nothing else appears. Block a channel that is not right for kids, or open "Manage videos" on an allowed channel to hide single videos and keep the rest.

5. Set your content rules

   Parent Mode → Content. Block topics (Scary, Brainrot & meme slang, Pranks and more), add your own words, and turn categories on or off (your own words are part of COONI Plus). "Short clips" hides videos of 1 minute or less; turn it off to allow more Shorts.

6. Choose viewing time

   Parent Mode → Viewing. Set a daily limit and whether the next video plays automatically. A small timer can show your child how much time is left. With COONI Plus you can also choose the hours videos are allowed (with AM/PM, for example 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM).

7. Install COONI on your child’s device

   iPhone / iPad: open cooni.online in Safari → Share (or ••• → Share) → Add to Home Screen → Add. Android: open it in Chrome → ⋮ menu → Install app (or Add to home screen) → Install. Computer: in Chrome or Edge, click the install icon at the end of the address bar → Install; on a Mac with Safari, File → Add to Dock. Then open COONI from the home screen like any app. The video below shows each step.

8. Lock Parent Mode and hand it over

   Tap Lock. Your child can now watch, search and explore — only inside your rules. Shorts stay in their own row and never play automatically.

9. Check in and adjust

   The Dashboard shows today’s viewing time, how many videos your rules filtered and your current rules. With COONI Plus you also get the weekly viewing chart and, in Content, the Recently filtered review. Block or allow any single video or channel at any time; changes apply straight away.
