Bark's specialty is monitoring, which helps keep kids safe by sending alerts about potential issues. We also offer screen time scheduling, website & app blocking, and location tracking. Here's what Bark can do on different devices.

​

Due to Apple’s security, you will need to set up device monitoring on your home computer or with a Bark Home device.

You can connect your kid's social media accounts for monitoring on your dashboard.

Install the Bark Kids App directly on your kid's iPhone or iPad to set up screen time features.

The Bark Watch is a standalone device that comes with its own phone number. Because it's aimed at younger kids who don't have a phone yet, it does not come with an app store, browser, games, nor third party apps. However, if your kid uses certain apps on other devices, you can still get those monitored!
