For parents who love Yoto

Bedtime means bedtime

You love Yoto. Your kids love Yoto a little too much. Guardian gives you quiet hours, daily limits, instant pause, and a live dashboard — so everyone sleeps on time.

Free to use. No credit card required.

The controls you've been wishing for

Built by a parent who got tired of tiptoeing in to take the player.

Quiet Time

Forgot to set the sleep timer? Doesn't matter. Players go quiet at bedtime — and stay quiet — every single night.

Daily Limits

Set a daily cap so "screen-free time" doesn't turn into six straight hours of audio.

Live Dashboard

See what every player is up to, right now, without leaving the couch.

Schedules

Weekday bedtime at 7, weekends at 8? Set it once and forget about it.

Instant Pause

Dinner time? One tap pauses any player — or all of them. One more tap brings it back.

Library Manager

Upload audiobooks — one at a time or in bulk — from zips or folders. Optional AI metadata can suggest titles, artwork, and chapter icons.

Auto-Skip TracksNew

Mark specific tracks on any card to always skip. Guardian detects them and jumps ahead automatically — no more diving for the player.

Stop After ChapterNew

"One more story" — for real. Tell the player to stop after the current track or chapter finishes. No timers, no guessing.

Takes less time than a bedtime story

No hardware, no app install — just a browser.

It actually works instantly

Guardian talks to Yoto's cloud in real time. When bedtime hits, the player goes quiet in seconds — not “eventually.”

Quiet time, daily limits, and listening-time tracking require the Yoto player to be connected to WiFi.
