Parents love the Bark Home

“Bark Home is the solution so many parents need. It can be set up easily and is written in normal (not tech) language for the average parent to get set up and get on with other things. It is the perfect complement to Bark’s already superior mobile device monitoring system.”
Holly D.
“We were already using Bark on my daughter’s phone. With this new Bark Home, we were able to cover her computer and my son’s computer. It did not slow down our Wi-Fi and after getting the settings and exceptions figured out, it’s working great.”
Diana K.
“The last thing anybody needs right now is to have to stress over managing a thousand devices, worrying about what your kids are running across, etc. This just makes life so much easier. Especially impressed with the filtering and screen time capabilities.”
Jordan B.
“Great addition to Bark parental controls. It expands my Bark subscription to all devices connected to my home network and even alerts me when a new device connects. Finally, I can control the school-issued devices and smart TVs.”
S. H.
“I have 2 nieces that are my favorite. After searching all over for a parental monitoring and screen time device, I found that Bark Home had all the features you could ask for. My sister absolutely loves Bark Home! It gives her peace of mind and just… works!”
Abbey
“Bark Home was so easy to install. In fact the installation directions are on one page. Once you get it hooked up you go to a website and finish it up. I have it paired with my Bark Monitoring and I am no longer worried about what my daughter is doing online.”

FAQs

What kinds of devices can Bark Home manage?

As one of the best internet parental controls providers, the Bark Home can manage a variety of device types, including:

  • Smart TVs
  • Gaming consoles (Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo)
  • Tablets
  • Computers
  • Cell phones
How do the Bark Home's internet parental controls work?

The Bark Home’s internet parental controls work by allowing you to block websites and apps and set screen time schedules on your child’s home devices — things like TVs, tablets, gaming consoles, and computers. It works on phones — iOS and Android — too!

You can also help protect them from potentially inappropriate content like porn, gaming sites, and excessive violence. You can also set up schedules where your kid can only access the internet on these devices at certain times, like after dinner or only on weekends. It’s up to you!

The Bark Home is a small device that plugs into your home’s Wi-Fi router, and it works by allowing or not allowing content at different times. 

Our internet parental controls can give you peace of mind that your child is not getting into anything they shouldn’t, which is the perfect way to help keep them safe online and in real life.
