BarkPing – Dog Monitor

Private Bark Alerts

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Try 15 minutes of dog-sound monitoring with shared activity and family alerts, then unlock 30 days only when needed—no automatic renewal. BarkPing helps you understand when your dog barks, howls, or whines while you are away. Leave an iPhone or iPad near your dog, keep BarkPing open, and start monitoring. BarkPing recognizes dog sounds directly on that device. BarkPing can keep a short local clip for each logged detection so you can check what triggered it. Clips and microphone audio never leave the detecting device. PRIVATE DOG-SOUND MONITORING • Detect barks with an adjustable confidence threshold • Optionally include howling and whining • Group frequent sounds to reduce duplicate events • Keep the display awake automatically while monitoring • Stop clearly if BarkPing is locked or leaves the screen ACTIVITY YOU CAN USE • See a private timeline of detected dog sounds • Review today's activity by hour • Distinguish events from this device, another device, or a test • Preview the log with a local test bark • Play the exact short sound window behind a local detection • Turn clip saving off whenever you choose ALERT THE PEOPLE YOU CHOOSE • Send detected-event metadata to your own Apple devices through iCloud • Create a Family Circle and invite people remotely • Pair a nearby family device by QR code with owner approval on iOS 26 • Family members may use a different iCloud account • See pending invitations and accepted members • Coordinate with “I'll handle it” when someone takes action • Use one active home device and up to five alert recipients • Open BarkPing to see the latest verified monitoring-device status • Remove a member, leave a circle, or stop sharing at any time YOUR PRIVACY Audio is analyzed only on the monitoring device. Optional detection clips stay local, are never synced and are deleted with activity history. For remote household monitoring, BarkPing syncs event time, sound type, confidence, device type, pass expiration, active-device status and alert responses through the circle owner's private iCloud data. BarkPing has no advertising, analytics, custom account, or external notification backend. TRY IT, THEN UNLOCK ONLY WHEN NEEDED BarkPing includes one free 15-minute trial per Apple Account, measured as actual listening time and shared across that account's devices. The trial uses the real shared activity and Family Circle alert flow. Free delivery tests can be repeated after a short pause, so notification settings and linked devices can be verified before purchase. A 30-Day BarkPing Pass activates monitoring throughout the 30-day period, remote transfer of detected events, shared status and activity, one switchable home device, and alerts for up to five recipients. The pass belongs to the linked household, not one physical device. It does not renew automatically, and buying early adds the next 30 days after the time already remaining. BarkPing notifications depend on the monitoring device, internet connectivity, iCloud, and Apple notification delivery. BarkPing is a dog-training utility, not a guaranteed safety or emergency alarm.

BarkPing is now available in Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, German, French and Spanish. We have also improved the wording throughout the app so monitoring, Family Circle, alerts and local sound clips are easier to understand.
