About Bark

Bark uses advanced machine learning to analyze children's online activity across texts, emails, YouTube, and more than 30 social media platforms. Rather than logging every message, Bark surfaces only the interactions that indicate potential dangers — cyberbullying, explicit content, signs of depression, suicidal ideation, and online predators. Parents receive real-time alerts with recommended actions, keeping kids safe without invading every private conversation. Bark also offers web filtering, screen time scheduling, and location tracking.
