BarkSkip is a Chrome extension that makes movie night peaceful again. It automatically warns you and skips past mapped triggers like barking dogs, doorbells, or loud noises on Netflix so your reactive dog stays calm. Stop hovering over the mute button! Works on your laptop (or via HDMI to your TV). Try it for free on 5 flagship movies, then upgrade to Pro for a $15 one-time fee to unlock the full, hand-mapped catalog. No monthly subscriptions.

Hey Product Hunt! I'm Newton, the builder behind BarkSkip. BarkSkip was born out of pure exhaustion. My dog, Gus, is reactive to animals, doorbells, loud noises, and plenty of other things on TV. Movie nights turned into me anxiously hovering over the remote, ready to hit mute or fast-forward before he completely lost his mind and ruined the peace. If I was familiar with the movie, it was easy. If I didn’t know the movie? Impossible. I built BarkSkip so I could finally put the remote down. It’s a Chrome extension for Netflix that automatically skips the exact scenes that trigger your dog. Here’s how it works: 1. Install the extension and select your dog's specific triggers (Animals, Babies/Kids, Loud Noises, Scary Things, etc.). 2. Play a supported title on Netflix via your laptop (we usually run an HDMI cable to the big screen). 3. BarkSkip shows a brief on-screen warning and seamlessly skips past the trigger window. What it is (and isn't): 1. Chrome Only: It runs entirely in your desktop browser. (Because of platform limits, there are no smart TV or mobile apps yet!). 2. Hand-Mapped, Not Live AI: We don't rely on live AI audio detection that might miss a bark. Every trigger is meticulously hand-mapped and QA'd via subtitles and human review. 3. No Subscription Fatigue: You can test it on 5 free flagship titles (like Meet the Parents). If it works for your dog, the full catalog is a simple $15 one-time purchase. I’d love for you to try it out on one of our free titles and let me know what you think! I'm hanging out in the comments and am happy to answer any questions about the Chrome extension or Gus!

Tried it on a thriller last night and it caught a doorbell ring I totally would have missed. Setup was quick and my pup actually stayed settled through the whole opening scene.

BarkSkip is now on Safari for Mac!

Hey everyone!

Since launching BarkSkip for Chrome, the number one request I ve gotten has been from Mac users who want to use it in Safari. Today, I m excited to share that BarkSkip is officially available for Safari on Mac!

If you missed our first launch, BarkSkip is a browser extension built for reactive, TV-watching dogs. It maps out triggers on supported Netflix titles (doorbells, barking, sirens, etc.) and automatically skips past them so you don't have to sit with the remote in your hand all night.
