Clear, honest product with a strong promise, but the install path and jargon may lose parents before they download.

In five seconds a visitor understands this is a free app that gives kids a restricted, curated video library on a home computer, with time limits. They don't yet know whether their family can actually set it up, since the page leans on a Windows/Mac/Linux download and an install process that is described as scary-sounding.

Top 3 problems

🔥 Scary security warnings are front-loaded in the install flow

The Install section opens with "Microsoft and Apple warn you before it first runs. The warnings sound scary." and the Mac steps say "Never click Move to Trash." A non-technical parent reading this may abandon before downloading, and the reassurance comes after the alarm.

🔥 Requirement that the computer stay on is buried

The key constraint, "The computer that runs Kids Shelf has to be switched on and awake while the kids watch," appears only under the Download section's footnote. A parent deciding whether this fits their household needs that before the download button, not after.

🔥 Hero copy leans on feature lists rather than the parent's problem

The lead paragraph stacks "only the videos you choose, downloaded from YouTube or from your own folders, automatic daily time limits, math practice that earns extra video minutes, and Wikipedia without the rest of the web" in one sentence. The benefit to a worried parent is diluted by this inventory.

Headline idea

Now: “Your kids' own little internet”

“Give your kids a safe screen with only the videos you pick”

It names the parent's concern and the concrete outcome, instead of a generic metaphor.
