One little app that saves you time
From the first woof to the final report, BarkCatcher turns building a case against nuisance barking into a treat.
Smart bark detection
On-device AI (YAMNet) scans hours of recordings and flags the real dog barks — ignoring the TV, traffic, and doorbells that fool a plain loudness meter.
Quiet-hours violations
Set your local quiet hours and BarkCatcher counts every bark that breaks them — events and minutes — with a wall-clock time on each one.
Evidence-grade stats
Barks per hour, longest continuous session, a time-of-day breakdown, and a density timeline across the whole recording — the numbers that make a complaint stick.
Review every detection
Step through each event with its waveform and audio clip, confirm or reject it, and watch precision update live. A human-checked log beats raw AI output.
Court-ready report
Export a clickable report or one-click PDF with a full chain of custody: file hashes, timestamps, software version, and the detection method used.
Private by design
Audio is analyzed entirely on your computer and every case is encrypted on disk. Your home stays yours — nothing is streamed to the cloud.
Build a case in three easy steps
Record the barking
Find a device to record near the nuisance dog. We suggest recording at least a week of audio to get good evidence for the report.
Review with BarkCatcher
Import your audio files into BarkCatcher. The app detects barks and lets you review for accuracy.
Export your case report
Export a shareable report to show your landlord, HOA, or animal control. The report includes timestamps, links to audio clips, and statistics on barking patterns.
“I had no idea our dog barked nearly nonstop after we left. One week with BarkCatcher and we realized we needed to take action. Our neighbors noticed before we did.”
