Bark - Parental Controls

Bark offers families essential tools in navigating the complexities of raising children in the digital world. Through our all-encompassing service, you can supervise online activities, regulate screen time, and control website access, granting you peace of mind while your child explores the internet.

**CONTENT MONITORING**

Bark keeps an eye on your child’s communications, including text messages, email, YouTube, and over 30 other apps and social media platforms for signs of issues such as cyberbullying, suicidal thoughts, adult content, sexual predators, foul language, threats of violence, and more. Parents receive notifications only when concerning content is detected online, allowing for focused attention without having unrestricted access to all of your child’s personal data.

**SCREEN TIME MANAGEMENT**

Families can establish healthy usage limits and devise schedules determining when their children's devices may access the internet, whether via cellular data or Wi-Fi connections.

**WEB FILTERING**

Our web filtering capabilities empower you to choose which websites your child is permitted to visit. You have the flexibility to block or allow specific sites and even entire categories, including streaming services, online gaming, and adult content.

**BARK HOME**

By acquiring Bark Home, an additional device that connects to your Wi-Fi router, you can utilize our app to regulate screen time and manage website access for every Wi-Fi-connected gadget within your household, from smart TVs and consoles to laptops and tablets. Please note that Bark Home requires an active Bark subscription.
