Bark vs Tend+

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 With Bark, you can help keep your kids safe both online and in real life. Try it out for seven days absolutely free!

Your phone holds hundreds of relationships. It does nothing to help you tend to them. Tend+ changes that -- in under 2 minutes a day. THE PROBLEM EVERYONE RECOGNIZES You think of someone. A friend from college. An old coworker. Someone who meant something. You tell yourself you'll call this week. Then you don't. Weeks turn into months. Not because you stopped caring. Because nothing reminded you to act on that care. Proximity used to do this for you. You saw people at church, at the office, in the neighborhood. Now it doesn't. And the people who matter quietly drift. HOW TEND+ WORKS Each morning, Tend+ gives you a short list of people to reach out to, with prompts like: - Ask how the new job is going - See how Edgar is settling in after the move - Check how Elizabeth is adjusting with a new baby - Let Sandra know you remember it's been two years since she lost Johnny. Swipe through, reach out however feels right -- call, text, voice memo -- and move on with your day. Tend+ decides who to surface based on the rhythm you set for each person, who's overdue, and what's happening in their life. Every day feels relevant. No busywork. Over time, you can teach Tend+ about your people. Your daily prompts go from "Just say hey" to "Ask how Jennifer's doing at her new school." That's the difference between polite and personal. WHO IT'S FOR Not your closest circle -- you already think about those people. Tend+ is for the ones that distance or busy lives make harder to hold onto: - The friend who keeps meaning to call - The parent whose social world narrowed after kids - The pastor or coach tending to more people than memory can hold - Anyone who believes relationships are cultivated, not managed WHAT YOU GET Free: Up to 30 people, 5 daily cards, up to three groups, all reminder frequencies, birthday and anniversary detection, streak milestones, one-tap logging for calls, texts, and more. Tend+ Premium ($19.99/year or $2.99/month): Unlimited people, 8 daily cards, life event awareness (new baby, new job, grief, and more), personalized prompts that get smarter over time, unlimited custom groups, mass direct import from CSV file, insights, and full interaction history. Less than $2/month to be the friend who always remembers. YOUR DATA IS YOURS Tend+ does not read your messages. It does not listen to your calls. It does not sell your data. Your relationships are yours. Period. START WITH THE PEOPLE WHO COME TO MIND The old friend. The mentor. The neighbor you keep meaning to check on. They're already in your phone. Tend+ helps you tend to them. Questions or feedback?
