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!

Mom brain is real. Momory is the brain dump app made for it. Between school forms, snack requests, grocery lists, appointments, birthday gifts, dinner plans, permission slips, and the random thing you remember at the absolute worst possible moment, your brain is carrying a lot. Momory gives you a simple place to get it all out of your head before it disappears. Type it, say it out loud, or quickly capture whatever is on your mind. Momory helps organize your thoughts into tasks, reminders, lists, and "on my mind" moments so you don't have to stop what you are doing to sort it all out. No complicated systems. No endless folders. No pressure to be more organized than you actually have time to be. Just open Momory, brain dump, and move on. Keep your running lists where they belong. Grocery, packing, gift ideas, questions for the pediatrician — Momory sorts new thoughts into the right named list automatically, so you're not starting from scratch every time. Start a new list anytime something becomes its own recurring mental tab. Whether you need to remember the field trip form, start a grocery list, follow up on that one thing you keep forgetting, or save a thought for later, Momory helps you hold onto the details so you can stay present for everything happening right now. Why moms love Momory - Capture thoughts the moment they pop up - Use voice notes or text when your hands are full - Turn mental clutter into tasks, reminders, lists, and "on my mind" moments - Keep named lists for the things you track on repeat — groceries, packing, gifts, and more - Get gentle reminders when something is time-sensitive - Save "on my mind" thoughts for later, no pressure to act - Let AI sort the chaos so you don't have to - Spend less energy trying to remember everything - Made for the mental load of motherhood Momory was built for moms running a full household — the ones managing the calendar, the snacks, the school stuff, the doctor's appointments, the gift list, the dinner plan, and the eight other things that just popped into their heads while reading this. It's not another to-do list app. It's a place to set down whatever is on your mind, in the messy way it actually arrives, and trust that nothing important falls through. Your brain wasn't meant to hold it all. Let Momory remember the little things, so you can focus on what matters most.
