Bark for Schools is a free student and school safety product that detects potential issues across Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and Chrome to help protect students online and in real life. Our award-winning monitoring tool scans emails, chats, and saved files for issues like bullying, online predators, sexual content, suicidal ideation, and more. Bark for Schools was launched in response to the Parkland school shooting tragedy in 2018, and this community giveback is made possible by the success of our product for families. Free and available to every public and private K–12 school in the U.S.

Strata puts classroom walkthroughs, feedback, and coaching in the pocket of every school leader and teacher. Walk into a classroom with your iPhone, tap a teacher, and see a 30-second briefing of where they stand. Run through your district's look-fors with quick-tap scoring and voice-dictated evidence notes — transcribed on device, so you keep watching the room. Tap once to generate a feedback draft in the Evidence / Interpretation / Next-step format, review it, and deliver. The teacher gets a notification, reads the feedback, and submits a reflection — without ever opening a laptop. FOR SCHOOL LEADERS - Quick-tap look-for scoring sized for one-handed, in-classroom use - Voice-to-text evidence notes, transcribed on device - AI walkthrough prep briefings drawn from each teacher's history - Generate feedback drafts in seconds and deliver in a tap FOR TEACHERS - A clean inbox of feedback with the full Evidence / Interpretation / Next-step view - Structured, voice-friendly reflections you can submit from anywhere - A personal growth timeline showing your progress over time WORKS OFFLINE Classrooms have spotty Wi-Fi.
