VidAngel

VidAngel is a video streaming service that taps into your streaming subscriptions and filters out all the “bad stuff.” With customizable filters, language that you don’t want to hear or images you don’t want to see are automatically removed from what you are watching. While it doesn’t work for every service, movie, or TV show, there are thousands of titles available to filter – ranging from new releases to older films.

The VidAngel interface shows titles available to be filtered with your subscription with how many filters can be applied to each title. These filters include settings for Language, Sex, Nudity, Violence, Blood, Gore, Drug Use, and “Other” (such as bodily functions / jokes, vulgar gestures, and even opening and closing credits).

VidAngel also comes with Dry Bar Comedy (a $40 / yr value), The Chosen TV series (VidAngel is the backer of Angel Studios, the production company that made the series), and other original content for free.
