Our alerts are meant to be used as an opportunity to connect, teach, and grow. Get tips on having difficult but important conversations with your kids.

To help make sure your family never misses an alert, you can add additional email addresses and phone numbers, to receive notifications as well.

Bark scans your child’s online activities and sends you an alert if there's a potential issue, such as bullying, depression, or sexting. You can receive alerts via push notification, email, text, or all three.

Bark can block hundreds of sites in a short period of time. To avoid overwhelming you with every single blocked website or app, we only send notifications about blocked porn sites.

Don't worry, you can still check out the Insights in your dashboard / app to see the top categories of blocked sites each week.

You probably don't want to be alerted every time your child uses profanity or discusses weapons in video games. You can adjust alert sensitivity settings to help with this!

But don't worry, you'll always get alerts for more serious issues like suicide or predators.

Here’s how to review your kid's sensitivity settings:
