Can you explain a bit more on how this is better than just using Spotify? Is the catalogue restricted somehow?

Good question. Same catalog - Muky uses your Apple Music or Spotify subscription underneath.

The difference: Muky separates the audio player from the admin area. Kids get a locked-down player showing only playlists you created – big artwork, tap to play, nothing else. Parents manage everything in a separate admin area – create playlists, add content, adjust settings.

Spotify means infinite browsing, algorithm recommendations, and "Dad, how do I get back to my song?"

Plus with 4.0 there's a Browse tab with curated content for kids, so you don't have to search through millions of songs yourself.

Think of it as a "view" on top of your existing subscription. Parents curate in the admin area, kids see only what you want them to see.
