Small, open tools that make the internet safer for children.
SafeNest OSS builds simple, free tools for ages 5-18. We start small, build with the community, and teach instead of scare.
Projects
Each tool is small, does one job and can be checked by anyone.
No Shorts
A Chrome extension that hides YouTube Shorts: from search, the home page, the menu and channels. Links to Shorts open as normal videos. It collects no data and needs no special permissions.
What next?
Tell us what would help your family or school. Ideas, requests and questions go to our public issue tracker, so everyone can follow and join in.
Open the issue trackerHow we work
Tools for children have to be trustworthy by design.
Transparency
Open code under the MIT license. Decisions and plans are public. If a claim has a source, we link it, and we say what it does not prove.
Community first
Parents, teachers and developers shape the tools. Contributions are welcome, and the project stays independent of any company.
Safety and education
We teach, we do not scare. A tool never replaces a conversation with your child, and we are honest about what each tool cannot do.
Security by design
No data collection, minimum permissions, no remote code. Dependencies are kept few and updated.
For parents in Poland
Materials for parents are written in Polish first.
