Hey all! I'm Aiden. I built BarkCard because I had no idea what my dog Ollie did once I closed the door. A neighbour eventually mentioned he howled. He'd been doing it for months. BarkCard records a session on your laptop, classifies every bark, howl and whimper with Google's YAMNet model, and gives you a report card when you get home: stats, a timeline of when he was loudest, video clips of each moment, and a letter grade. All of it runs on your machine. Nothing is uploaded, there's no account, and there's no hardware to buy. The part I'm most proud of is Comfort Sounds. You record a few clips of your own voice, and BarkCard plays one at random while you're out. It keeps the footage from right after each one, so you can watch how your dog reacted, and it compares how much they vocalized before versus after. A dog settling on its own looks identical in the numbers, and the app says so rather than showing you a green tick. What it does is make the question answerable for your dog instead of leaving you guessing. The free tier is genuinely usable, not a demo. Pro is $29 once, works on three machines, and adds Comfort Sounds, remote monitoring from your phone, AI training insights and unlimited history. Would love your feedback, especially from anyone who's tried leaving a radio or a recording on for their dog.
