Screen Time & Website Blocking

Create screen time rules for the school day as well as at bedtime and during free time.

Block specific sites or entire categories of content like streaming services, online gaming, sexual content, and more.

Track Location

Interested in a location sharing tool that helps you keep track of your kid on-the-go? Bark’s real-time map, check-ins, and location alerts make that easy, whether your high schooler just got their first job or your tween is biking to their friend’s house.

Bark Check-In

Use location sharing for peace of mind:

  • Ensure your child makes it to school or work safely
  • Receive an alert if your teen sneaks out of the house at night
  • Collaborate with a co-parent to help keep your child safe

Sometimes, you just need to know your kid’s exact location. For those situations, request a check-in and our family location sharing dashboard will show you the address of where they’re currently located!
