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.

I hope you are successful and eventually go after video content too. Imagine a Youtube app without infinite browsing or the algo and a "you can watch 3 videos this weekend"-counter/countdown.
Ha, I'd love that too! YouTube for kids is a nightmare – even YouTube Kids has weird rabbit holes.
Video is tempting but a different beast – streaming APIs, licensing, way more complex. Maybe someday. For now staying focused on audio.
