“It barks all day”
isn't evidence.
This is.
BarkLogger listens while you're out and writes down every bark, with the time it happened and how loud it was.

One dog. One Tuesday. Sixty-three events.
The pattern is the point. A landlord can argue with “constantly.” They can't argue with four solid hours starting the moment the owners leave.
How it works
Three steps, then go about your day.
There's no account to make and nothing to configure before you start. Leave a phone somewhere in the house, plugged in.
Start a session
Tap once before you leave. BarkLogger listens for dog sounds and keeps the screen awake so it doesn't drop out.
It writes everything down
Every bark, howl, growl, whimper and yip — each with its exact time and loudness. Loud moments record an audio clip automatically.
Export the report
One tap produces a dated PDF: summary, activity chart, and the full incident log. Print it, email it, attach it to a complaint.
What you get
Everything in one file, ready to hand over.
The report
Dated summary, a chart of activity across the day, and a chronological log of every event with times and levels.
Clips that are actually barking
Recording triggers on loudness, but a clip is only kept if a dog was heard in it. No sifting through the dishwasher.
Photo, audio and video
When you can see what's happening, capture it yourself. Three buttons and a live viewfinder while a session runs.
One-file evidence bundle
Report, every clip, every photo and video, plus a plain-language README explaining the contents. Send one file.
Your own account
Add what a microphone can't capture — who was home, what set it off, when you reported it. Notes print in the report.
Address on the record
Stamp each session with where it was recorded, so a report shows the location. Off with one switch if you'd rather not.
Privacy
Nothing leaves your phone.
No accounts, no servers, no analytics, no ads, no tracking. Sound identification runs entirely on your device using Apple's built-in audio analysis. Your recordings, photos and logs stay on your iPhone unless you choose to share them — and when you do, you choose where they go.
Before you buy
What this can't do.
We'd rather set expectations than collect refunds. All of this is stated inside the app too.
