How does Bark Sync work?

The Bark Sync is a small device that connects to your home Wi-Fi network (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and scans your child’s iOS device while charging it. The Bark Sync can monitor:

  • Text messages
  • Saved photos and videos
  • Voice memos
  • Notes app
  • WhatsApp
  • KIK

Note: You’ll still need to connect your child’s other social media accounts and apps for Bark to monitor those.

Does my child need to do anything for Bark Sync to run?

Nope! Once you’ve set it up, Bark Sync handles everything in the background with no extra steps needed from you or your child. All you have to do is plug it in to charge daily.

I have two kids who use Bark. Can they share a Bark Sync?

They can! Alerts may just be delayed until each iOS device can be plugged in and scanned.

We recommend each child have a Sync, however, to maximize monitoring time.

Can my kid use Bark Sync while traveling?

Yes, you'll just need to connect the Bark Sync to a local Wi-Fi network.

For frequently visited places, like a co-parent’s house, the Bark Sync automatically remembers and connects to previously used Wi-Fi networks.

What’s the difference between the Bark Sync and the Bark Home?

The Bark Home is a standalone device you connect to your home Wi-Fi router to manage internet activity on TVs, gaming consoles, computers, and tablets.

The Bark Sync enables Bark to scan your child’s iOS device and monitor content for potential dangers.

Can I use my own cable with the Bark Sync?

For the best experience, we recommend using the cable that comes with your Bark Sync. While other cables may work, we can only guarantee full functionality with the included one.

What’s the Bark Sync return policy?

The Bark Sync has a 60-day, money-back return policy. Fees may apply if the device is damaged.
