About
No endless feeds. No scrolling. No algorithms. You have control over what your children watch.
Slow Telly turns your iPad or iPhone into a calm, glowing old-school TV. You choose the channels, and they just play, one show after another, like the telly used to.
YOUR OWN CHANNELS
• Add videos from your Photos or Files to any channel
• Or paste a web link to a video or playlist
• Comes with a channel of classic 1930s public-domain cartoons, ready to watch
• Add, name and remove channels any time
A PROPER OLD TELLY
• Static and a 5-4-3-2-1 countdown between shows
• A warm, grainy picture, with an optional glow around the screen
• Warmth, colour and contrast controls, plus picture presets
• Full-screen widescreen picture, fixed sideways or turning with your device
MADE FOR PARENTS
• Sleep timer: 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes, or till the end of the show
• Optional timer prompt, so nothing plays until a grown-up sets a timer
• Channel changing takes a deliberate two-finger hold, so little hands can't flip channels every few seconds
• Setup is hidden behind a hold gesture, with a short guide for grown-ups on first launch
• No ads, no accounts, no tracking
PICKS UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF
Switch it off mid-show and it carries on from the same spot next time. Skip past a channel by accident and it remembers where that episode was. Your picture settings are remembered too.
Slow Telly is a calm, simple way to put on something you trust and let it play.
