Detect the barking, review the findings, build your case.

BarkCatcher runs a smart audio model right on your device, tuned to dog vocalizations. It picks the real barking out of long recordings and ignores the birds, traffic, or a slammed door that a simple loudness meter would flag — on a single file or a whole week of files all at once.

Every detection is stamped with a wall-clock time read from your recording, then rolled up into the numbers a complaint needs: how often, how long, and exactly when. Set your quiet hours and BarkCatcher tallies which barks occur during those times.

BarkCatcher gets you most of the way; you make it airtight. Step through each detected event with its waveform, play the audio clip, and confirm or reject it. BarkCatcher recomputes the stats over your confirmed events and shows precision live — a human-checked log is far stronger evidence than raw model output.

Export a self-contained, clickable report — or “Save as PDF” for a document you can hand to a landlord, HOA, or animal-control officer. Each report carries a full chain of custody, and the analysis settings are recorded right alongside the findings, so it stands up to scrutiny.

Your audio never leaves your computer — there's no cloud and nothing to upload. BarkCatcher even encrypts each case on disk with a key kept in your operating system's keychain, so a case opens only on the machine that made it. Exported cases are unencrypted, but you can delete the original case file from your machine after export if you like.

BarkCatcher is a real desktop app, not a browser tab — built to chew through hours of audio reliably. It decodes the common formats out of the box, with no extra codecs to install.
