Built for AAC users & their caregivers
A calmer way to hand them the screen.
Set up the buttons once — their shows, their games, their go-to sites. They get exactly what they need, and nothing they don't. No home screen to escape to, no app drawer, no surprises.
See it in action
Sixty seconds, start to finish.
From first launch to their first tap — here's exactly what it looks like.

The main screen
Their buttons. Nothing else.
Once it's set up, this is all they see — a clean list of exactly what you've chosen for them. No address bar, no search, no way to wander somewhere you didn't pick.
Ready on day one
Their favorite shows, one tap away
Every free download starts with YouTube already wired into a button, plus three more for whatever they love — PBS Kids, Disney Jr., racing games, sing-alongs. No setup required to get going.
Full screen, no detours
Content plays. Nothing else loads.
Tapping a button opens exactly what you linked, full screen, with the button list always one tap back. No recommendation rabbit holes, no accidental settings menus.
You hold the keys
Caregiver setup, locked behind a question
Getting back into setup means answering a quick question first — easy for you, effective at keeping curious little hands out. Pick a label, a link, a color, and an icon for every button. On Pro, all eight are yours to use however you like.

FAQ
Good to know
Who is PandaDash for?
PandaDash is built for caregivers supporting anyone who needs a calmer, distraction-free way to use a tablet — non-verbal children, AAC users of any age, adults with cognitive or sensory needs, or anyone who benefits from a simple, locked-down screen. It's not limited to kids.
How does PandaDash work?
PandaDash loads the web version of sites like YouTube and gives you, the caregiver, control over which pages are accessible. You set up a handful of buttons in the setup screen, then hand the tablet over — the person using it sees only those buttons, nothing else.
Is PandaDash a launcher, or does it just sit on top of other apps?
You choose. Option A sets PandaDash as the device's home screen, ideal for a tablet that's fully dedicated to this purpose. Option B uses Android's built-in Screen Pinning instead, which is better if the tablet is shared with others or you still want quick access to other apps.
What's the difference between Free and Pro?
Free includes a YouTube button plus three configurable buttons (YouTube links only). Pro unlocks all eight buttons and lets you link to any website, not just YouTube. Pro is a one-time $1.99 purchase, not a subscription.
Why can't I use YouTube Kids?
YouTube Kids actively blocks browser-based apps like PandaDash from running on top of it, so it isn't supported. We recommend regular YouTube with Restricted Mode turned on, and Google Family Link for stronger parental controls.
Does PandaDash block ads on YouTube?
No — we don't control YouTube's behavior, including ads. If ad content is a concern, a YouTube Premium subscription removes ads entirely and is the most reliable way to keep that content out.
How do I get back into the setup screen?
Tap the Caretaker button and answer the simple math question. This keeps the setup screen safely out of reach of the person using the tablet.
Is PandaDash affiliated with YouTube or Google?
No. PandaDash is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with YouTube, Google, or any other site it can load. We don't control how those sites behave.
What if something isn't working right?
Join our Discord — it's the best way to reach us directly, report a bug, or ask a question. We use it to share updates and hear from the people actually using the app.
What if I want a refund?
Pro purchases go through Google Play and follow Google Play's standard refund policy. We don't process payments or refunds directly — Google handles that on our behalf.
