BloomPlayer is a distraction-free parent tool designed to remove the temptation of endless looping for kids. Created for a loved one on the autism spectrum, it gives families a safe environment to introduce curated videos—helping children watch from start to finish and breaking the habit before it forms.
Try BloomPlayer NowVideos play straight through. The timeline, rewind, and fast-forward buttons are completely hidden.
Once a video starts, the screen is locked. It requires a 4-digit Parent PIN to close or exit.
Paste any YouTube link to instantly add it to your child's private, distraction-free library.
A clean, focused environment designed specifically to prevent stim-looping and encourage healthy watching.
Fifteen years of watching. Now a tool for every family starting out — before the habit forms.
My son is 16 and on the autism spectrum. For years, the rewind and forward buttons—that tiny slider at the bottom—became a loop he couldn't escape. He wasn't watching; he was stimming on the same second of video for hours. I often wondered: what if he never knew those options existed?
Ironically, I built BloomPlayer while sitting next to him during one of those loops. It doesn’t "stop" stimming, but it gives us quiet beautiful pockets of time to actually watch something from start to end together.
it’s the tool I needed the day he was diagnosed. But now it’s for every family so no child needs to get lost in a screen loop. It’s about catching the habit before it forms—before they even know there’s another way.
I’m committed to keeping BloomPlayer free so that every parent has access to the tool I wish I’d had years ago. If our app has brought more peace to your screen time, please consider donating. Every bit helps me maintain the tool for our community.
