## What is Barkly?

Ever wonder what your dog or cat might be feeling? Barkly listens to a bark or meow and gives you an honest, best-guess mood read, with a confidence level and the sound cues behind it. It is a mood reader, not a translator: it never pretends to turn animal sounds into human sentences.

WHAT YOU GET
• On-device dog and cat mood reads with visible confidence
• Per-pet calibration as you confirm or correct reads
• A private mood diary and pattern insights
• Kind, positive-reinforcement training with a built-in clicker
• A printable, self-logged vet-visit prep summary
• An encrypted backup you control, including pet photos and local history
• Optional Talk, body-language Scan and AI Portrait tools after a clear cloud disclosure

The core sound analysis runs on your device, and pet audio is not uploaded. Barkly has no ads and keeps a genuinely useful free tier.

PLANS
• Barkly Premium, monthly or yearly, with a free trial for new subscribers: every Premium tool, the most daily AI use and up to 20 AI portraits a month.
• Barkly Lifetime, one payment: Premium on your devices for good, 3 AI portraits, and everyday AI with a daily fair-use limit.
• Portrait Pack: 5 AI portrait credits, one-time.
Prices are shown in the app in your currency. Subscriptions renew until cancelled in iOS Settings.

Barkly is for entertainment and education, not medical or veterinary diagnosis. Always pair it with your pet's body language and advice from a qualified veterinarian or behavior expert.
