It saved our family
I just want to get on here and say PLEASE get Bark online monitoring. Yesterday it saved our family. Out of respect for our son’s privacy I won’t go into details. But I will say this: (1) we are a family who talks about EVERYTHING on the daily, I literally run a non-profit about kids and mental health… (2) he is an AMAZING, thoughtful, kind, sweet person and (3) he almost got into a situation that would have haunted him for the rest of his life. You need the open communication AND Bark to battle modern childhood.

Bark is an all-in-one online safety solution that helps keep kids safe online and in real life. With it, you can monitor content, block websites and apps, set screen time schedules, and set location alerts.
Here at Bark, “monitoring” means that a child’s online activities and messages are scanned for potential issues. Parents don’t get unfettered access to everything on a child’s phone — they only receive alerts for potential issues so they can talk to their kids and make sure everything’s okay. This gives kids privacy and enables families to build trust.
If something concerning is found, you will get alerted if there’s something you need to know about. Examples include texts about bullying, saved Google Drive files with sexual content, and Spotify songs with violent lyrics.
Screen time, on the other hand, means setting a custom schedule of what apps and websites your child can access throughout the day. This could look like “only educational apps during the school day” or “just meditation and music apps after lights out.”
