Bark provides families with all the tools they need to raise kids in the digital age. Our comprehensive service lets you monitor content, manage screen time, and filter websites so you can get peace of mind while your child is online.
CONTENT MONITORING
Bark monitors your child’s texts, email, YouTube, and 30+ apps and social media platforms for issues like cyberbullying, adult content, sexual predators, profanity, suicidal ideation, threats of violence, and more. Parents receive alerts only when something potentially problematic occurs online. You won’t have full access to everything on your child’s phone — just the things you might need to know about.
SCREEN TIME MANAGEMENT
Families can set healthy time limits and create schedules for when their children’s devices can connect to the internet (through both cell service and Wi-Fi).
WEB FILTERING
Our web filter lets you select which websites your child can access on their devices. You can allow or block specific sites — or even whole categories like streaming services, online gaming, sexual content, and more.
BARK TESTIMONIALS
• "My wife and I LOVE Bark. We've had some tough but productive conversations with our 13-year-old son. It's proving to be extremely valuable." — Josh L.
• “It’s just another set of protections we as parents give our kids for the digital environment (or as my 10-year-old calls it, a “cell phone seat belt”). My oldest is a 9th grader, and while I trust her, I’ve come to realize through the alerts that some of her friends aren’t truly her friends. It’s led to some amazing conversations about choosing friends wisely and recognizing toxic people. While she wasn’t for Bark at first, she’s since said she’s grateful that I saw those messages because it reaffirmed what she was feeling but didn’t know how to verbalize without sounding sensitive.” — Bark Parent
• "Bark notified me that my young daughter had unknowingly revealed her phone number to strangers on Twitter. The fact that Bark notified me was impressive and led to an informative discussion with her the same day." — Jon B.
• “Since Bark alerted us to the suicidal language used in the Google doc that was being used in a chat document with a friend, we have seen both a pediatrician and a licensed counselor. We are hopeful for a positive outcome. Thanks to Bark for letting us peek into our child’s mind!” — Bark Parent
• “This app is a lifesaver! It has allowed us to catch so many “red flags” in the content my kids have accessed on their devices and in their interactions with friends and other people online that I wouldn’t have ever known about otherwise. The big difference between Bark and other “Parental Control” software is that Bark allows your kids to have so much more privacy. It doesn’t show you everything they do, but sends an instant alert regarding any activity that might be concerning. Highly recommended!” — Bark Parent

Tim Tebow: there's no "safe" platform anymore. Phones, tablets, games — predators are on all of them, with the goal to lure, groom, and manipulate.
The Bark Phone gives parents a way to fight back. Learn more.
As a mom, online safety is something I take VERY seriously- especially entering the tween years 🤍 The Bark Phone helps monitor for things like bullying, predators, grooming, sextortion, and mental health concerns while still giving kids age-appropriate independence. The parent controls are so easy to customize too. Definitely worth looking into if you have a tween asking for a phone. @barktechnologies

If minor inconveniences had a soundtrack, this would be it 😂 while I love being able to text and talk to my daughter whenever I need to, I know I can’t keep up with every little thing going on in her world. That’s why I love the Bark Phone @barktechnologies
It works as a first line of defense, monitoring content and sending alerts for things like mental health concerns, bullying, online predators & more, so parents can stay in the know! It gives me such peace of mind knowing I have a second set of eyes helping me keep my daughter safe 🤳🤍
Millennial parents were the bedroom kids.
A lot of us stayed in our rooms. We entertained ourselves. Figured things out on our own. Sometimes because we wanted to… sometimes because home didn’t always feel like a place we wanted to be.
Now we’re raising a generation of living room kids.
Kids who want to hang around. Kids who feel safe enough to be close. A home that feels comforting enough to stay in.
But parenting today also comes with things our parents never had to think about.
The reality is that so much happens through a screen now. Apps that seem harmless. Conversations we don’t know are happening. Access to things kids aren’t ready for.
That’s one reason I like Bark Phone.
It helps alert parents to serious concerns like grooming, sextortion, kidnapping risks, bullying, and potential mental health red flags, even on apps that seem safe. It also has location tracking without feeling totally overbearing.
At the end of the day, I think most of us are just trying to create safe homes while also protecting our kids in a world that looks really different than the one we grew up in.

Comment BARK and I’ll send you the direct link to this starter phone!
When do you think is the appropriate age to give a child/teen a cell phone?
While we aren’t anywhere near this in our children’s lives. I’ve been talking to others about it and this is when I came across @barktechnologies Bark Phone. In my opinion, it’s the perfect starter phone option!
