PlotPause

PlotPause is a mobile + web app that helps parents pick family films and shows with confidence, without reading spoiler-filled reviews. It provides timestamped “heads-up” guides for common parent concerns (scary scenes, bullying, crude humor, romance, grief, medical stuff, etc.), plus quick context on why a moment might be intense. Users can set a child profile (age, sensitivities, topics to avoid) and the app generates a simple green/yellow/red fit score per title, with optional “skip/cover ears” timestamps. It also offers discussion prompts to turn tricky scenes into short conversations rather than meltdowns. The hard truth: you won’t beat Netflix/Disney on catalog or discovery, so you win by being faster, clearer, and more parent-specific than ratings systems. Monetize via subscription and affiliate links to streaming services where allowed.
