Add URL exceptions
If you don't see a toggle for a particular app or site, it's likely covered by a category like Social Media or Games.
- Search the website at the top (e.g. "discord.gg") and Bark will show its category.
- If that URL is not categorized in our system, you will see the option to add it as an exception:
- You also have the option to set how Bark handles future uncategorized sites with the Unknown Sites & Apps category.
- Wait a few minutes for changes to take effect.
App Block vs. Category Block
You can block specific apps or you can block all apps and sites within a category.
Our categories cover tens of thousands of apps and sites. If you don't see a particular app listed, it is likely covered by a category rule.
You're also able to block a category while allowing an app within that category. For example, you can block the Social Media category and also allow the Discord app.
