More visibility. Clearer choices.

Make visual pacing
easier to understand.

A small indicator adds useful context while you watch. You decide what comes next.

A live score and category

Follow visual changes through four categories, from Calm to Overstimulating, with a short explanation. Show or hide the on-page indicator from the extension popup.

Analysis in your browser

Visual information is processed on your device. KidSafe Pacing does not upload video frames, pacing results, or local history. No registration is required.

Five recent local results

See up to five distinct videos in recent local history after sufficient analyzed playback. Results include each video’s peak pacing score and category.

Small indicator. Useful context.

See what’s changing,
as it changes.

The indicator summarizes changes between video frames, including movement, scene changes, brightness variation, and changes in visual rhythm.

It sits alongside your video. The extension is informational and leaves playback decisions to you.

How it works

A simple addition to watching.

  1. Install in Chrome

    Add KidSafe Pacing from its verified Chrome Web Store listing when available.

  2. Open a video or Short

    Visit YouTube in Chrome and play a standard video or a Short.

  3. See the visual pacing

    View the live score and category while watching. Open the extension popup for recent local results.

Understanding the indicator

Four descriptions of visual change.

The categories summarize measurable visual pacing. They describe how the visuals change over time.

Calm

Slow visual change and limited movement.

Normal

Moderate visual change and movement.

Fast

Frequent visual change and movement.

Overstimulating

Very frequent visual change and movement.

These labels describe visual pacing only. They do not assess content quality, age suitability, safety, developmental impact, or clinical outcomes. “Overstimulating” is a visual pacing category, not a diagnosis. Use the indicator as context alongside your own judgment.

Privacy first

The analysis stays
in your browser.

KidSafe Pacing processes video frames temporarily on your device. Your preferences and recent results use Chrome’s local extension storage.
