Reading every text message, post, & email just isn't realistic
Technology continues to change how (and where) we communicate. Even tech-savvy parents sometimes just don’t know what apps or networks their kids are using — or who they’re talking to.
We’re parents, too. We created Bark for ourselves, and for other parents. Now it’s easier to know what your child is doing online, and keep them safe from harm.

Bark’s research-backed, kid-friendly solution has won awards from The National Parenting Center, Mom’s Choice Awards, and National Parenting Product Awards.
We created Bark in close collaboration with child psychologists, youth advisors, digital media experts, and law enforcement professionals.
The result is an easy-to-use, affordable solution that doesn’t feel invasive to kids, and warns you in real-time of potential threats to your child’s health, safety, and happiness.
