With both the Bark Phone and Bark Watch, you can create routines that automatically apply specific settings during set times (like School or Bedtime). One of these settings, Silent Mode, allows you to mute your child’s ringer for calls and texts during designated routines.
To add Silent Mode to a routine:
New UI
- Open up your parent app / dashboard.
- Tap your child's profile.
- Side-scroll to the routine you'd like to manage (e.g. School, Bedtime).
- Tap the ✏ pencil.
- Adjust the rule for Silent mode.Â
- Repeat for other routines, if desired.
- That's it! Every time this routine kicks in, your child's phone or watch ringer will be muted. However, they can manually adjust the ringer volume on their device if they need to. This flexibility is designed to help both you and your child—allowing them to adjust if they’re up early or done with an activity sooner than expected.
