Why I Built TalosTV

This is every parent’s moment.

You find your child watching YouTube Shorts or TikTok. Somehow they got your phone. Or the TV. Or the laptop.

“Stop watching YouTube, you’re not allowed.”

We’ve all said it.

And if I’m honest, sometimes we allow it. Just for a bit of peace.

So I started looking at the problem more deeply.

It’s not just about what kids are watching. In many cases, platforms like YouTube are actually better than they used to be. The algorithm can recognise child-friendly content.

The real issue is something else.

The problem isn’t content. It’s the feed.

Modern platforms are designed to maximise watch time.

That means endless scrolling, fast cuts, bright colours, constant stimulation.

Content isn’t delivered with intention. It’s delivered to keep attention.

And for children, that matters.

You start to notice things. Shorter attention spans. A constant need for stimulation. Less patience for slower, more meaningful content.

And as parents, we feel it too.

We give screens for peace. Then take them away with guilt.

This isn’t about removing tech.

Technology is not the enemy.

There is incredible content out there. Educational, creative, inspiring content.

The problem is how it’s delivered.

So I asked a simple question.

What if kids TV didn’t work like a feed?

What if it worked like a channel again?

That’s why I’m building TalosTV.

TalosTV is designed around one core idea.

No feed. Just structured sessions.

Instead of endless scrolling, content is grouped into intentional sessions. Videos play in a calm, curated sequence. Breaks are built in. Content is age-appropriate and balanced.

It’s closer to turning on a channel than opening an app.

The goal is not to remove screens.

But to make screen time calmer, more intentional, and easier for parents to trust.

The parent app will help you understand what your child is watching, what they’re interested in, and how they engage with content.

Not to control everything, but to stay connected.

We don’t need less technology.

We need better-designed technology for children.

TalosTV is being built to create calmer, more intentional screen time.
