BarkWatch

Your dog barks when you're not home. BarkWatch tells you when, how often, and lets you hear exactly what happened. A spare device at home does the listening.

What BarkWatch Does

BarkWatch turns two of your own devices into a dog monitor. A spare iPhone or iPad stays home and listens; the device you carry shows the timeline, plays the clips, and buzzes the moment barking starts.

Live Bark Detection

The Recorder listens through the microphone and detects barking with an on-device classifier tuned to ignore loud non-bark noise. The screen can lock; listening continues. Sensitivity, alert frequency, and retention are all adjustable.

A Clip of Every Event

Every event is recorded, starting seconds before the first bark and running up to 30 seconds. Play it back with a waveform, confidence score, and duration, so you can hear exactly what happened.

Alerts and a Timeline

The Monitor buzzes the moment barking starts, even when the app is closed. A timeline shows every event with an hour-by-hour histogram, and burst grouping turns a barking fit into one row instead of thirty.

Private by Design

No accounts, no servers of ours, and no analytics. Events and clips sync between your devices through your personal, private iCloud database. Nothing your dog does ever reaches us.
