Made for the dinner table · iPhone · iPad

The video pauses when the chewing stops.

ChewView™ watches your child eat through the front camera and pauses their video the moment they stop chewing, then resumes it the second they take another bite. No nagging. No tablet wars. Just a quieter dinner.

Every parent knows this scene

Tablet on. Food cold. Nobody happy.

You hand over the iPad so they'll just eat something. Twenty minutes later they've watched four episodes and taken three bites. Pause it yourself and the screaming starts. Don't pause it and dinner gets cold.

ChewView doesn't lecture. It just pauses the video the moment the chewing stops, and resumes it the moment it starts again. Most kids figure out the deal in about 90 seconds.

Without ChewView

"Eat your food." "One more bite." "I'm not telling you again." 45-minute dinner. Cold pasta. Tears.

With ChewView

Tablet pauses itself. Kid takes a bite. Tablet resumes. Repeat. 18-minute dinner. Hot pasta. Quiet.

The whole idea

Chew it to view it.

One simple rule the kids learn in about 90 seconds. The video only plays while they're actually chewing.

While chewing

Video plays

Another bite keeps the show running. Keep going and it never stops.

When it stops

Video pauses

Stop chewing and it waits, gently, with your voice prompt, until the next bite.

How it works

Set up in a minute. Magic at every meal.

ChewView uses your iPhone or iPad's TrueDepth front camera and on-device machine learning. Nothing leaves the device, ever.

1

Add your kid

One face scan creates a private on-device profile. The app only reacts to that child; siblings in frame are ignored.

2

Pick a video

Paste a YouTube link or drop in your own MP4s from Files, AirDrop, or iCloud Drive. Build a library once, reuse every meal.

3

Record your voice

"Almost done?" "One more bite, sweetie." Your voice plays a beat before the video pauses; kids listen to mum and dad.

4

Eat & relax

Stops chewing → video pauses. Starts again → video plays. Configure the delay, the warning, even the auto-lock.

A guided tour

Real screens from the real app.

No marketing renders. These are the four moments that matter most: straight from a real iPhone or iPad.

30-second setup

Three things ChewView does, and one big promise: nothing leaves your iPhone or iPad.

Each kid gets a private face profile. Only the selected child triggers a pause.

Your prompts, your voice

Record "Keep eating!" once. ChewView shuffles between clips so kids don't tune out.

Magic

The pause that saves dinner

Stops chewing → instant pause. Starts again → instant play. Most kids learn in 90 seconds.

Built for real meals

Every detail, tested at our own table.

No gimmicks, no bloat. Just the features parents actually asked for.

Real chew detection

A jaw-oscillation detector, not just an "open mouth" check. Holding the mouth open won't fool it.

Multiple kids, one app

A profile for each child. Identity matching means siblings sitting nearby never trigger a false pause.

Bring your own videos

Paste any YouTube link, or import MP4s from Files, AirDrop, or iCloud. Thumbnails, search, mid-meal swap with a tap.

Parent PIN & lockdown

4+ digit PIN protects exit. A built-in Guided Access walkthrough turns the device into a single-app tablet.

Sub-50 ms response

Native AVPlayer pause/resume. The video reacts so fast kids actually believe it's watching them.

Your voice, on cue

Record "One more bite!" yourself. ChewView plays it 1.5s before the pause and rotates clips so kids don't tune out.

Coming very soon · YouTube account linking

Your YouTube playlists, browsable in one tap

In the next free update you'll connect your Google account once and browse your playlists, subscriptions, and liked videos right inside ChewView, then tap any video to approve it for your kid's list. Read-only by design.

Privacy

Your child's face never leaves your iPhone or iPad.

We're parents too. We wouldn't put our own kids' faces in someone's cloud, so we didn't build it that way for yours. Everything ChewView sees is processed on-device using Apple's Neural Engine, and verified by Apple's App Store privacy review.

What parents say

Tested by real households.

From parents who beta-tested ChewView with their own kids at their own tables.

★★★★★

My 4-year-old went from a 45-minute dinner battle to actually finishing his food in 20. The pause/resume timing is uncanny.

I'm picky about apps that touch my kid's face data. Read the privacy policy: there's nothing to read because nothing leaves the device.

FAQ

Questions parents actually ask.

Can't find your answer? Email contact@esprizzle.com. We reply same day.

Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every install gets 7 days of full access, no credit card up front. On day 8 the in-app purchase ($0.99) unlocks unlimited sessions. One purchase per Apple ID and Family Sharing is supported, so the unlock follows you across iPhone, iPad, and your family group.
How does it actually know my kid is chewing?
ChewView uses your iPhone or iPad's front camera with ARKit's face-tracking and a custom jaw-oscillation detector. It's looking for the rhythmic up-down cycle of real chewing, not just an open or closed mouth. The classic "hold the mouth open and pretend" trick won't fool it.
Does anything leave my phone?
No. All face tracking, identity matching, and chew detection runs on Apple's Neural Engine, on-device. There's no account, no cloud sync, no analytics, no third-party SDKs. ChewView works in airplane mode.
Will the $0.99 price stay this low?
$0.99 is the launch price. If you buy now, you keep it forever, including all future updates. We may raise the launch price after the first wave of updates.
Which iPhones and iPads work?
Any iPhone or iPad with a TrueDepth front camera (iPhone X or later, or iPad Pro with Face ID), running iOS 17 or higher.
What happens with siblings at the table?
Each kid you enrol gets their own private face profile. ChewView only reacts to whichever profile you've selected for the meal; siblings in the frame are ignored, even if they're laughing or eating.
Can I use my own videos?
Yes, and we strongly recommend it. Paste any YouTube link to add it to your library, or drop MP4s in via the Files app, AirDrop, or iCloud Drive. ChewView builds a private local library with thumbnails and search, and you can swap mid-meal with one tap.
When is YouTube account linking coming?
Very soon, in the next free update. You'll connect your Google account once and browse your playlists, subscriptions, and liked videos right inside ChewView instead of copy-pasting links one by one. There's no reason to wait for it though: pasting YouTube links already works today, and everyone who has unlocked the app gets the linking update free.
What if my kid figures out how to exit the app?
Set a parent PIN to gate the exit, and use the built-in Guided Access walkthrough to lock the iPhone or iPad into ChewView only. No accidental swipes home.
