Memo, Buddies & Referral
Wake Up a Buddy
In an emergency, you can ring a friend's phone and break through silent mode. They need to install Bark and give their consent before it takes effect. Manage your list in the General page under the Wake-Up Buddy List card; the wake-up button is on the Wake Up a Buddy card on the Overview page.
- Ask your buddy to install Bark on their iPhone, then have them send you the Device Key shown on the app's home screen.
- Open General, then click Add a buddy in the Wake-Up Buddy List card.
- "Nickname" is only visible to you. Paste their device key into Their device key. Leave "How they see you" blank to use the first two characters of your email address followed by ***. Leave Server blank to use the official Bark server.
- After you add them, a standard-level confirmation push (no ringing, no silent-mode override) is sent to your buddy.
- Your buddy taps the link in the push notification and selects "I agree, you can wake me up." Their status then changes to Active.
- When you need to wake someone up, go to the Wake Up a Buddy card on the Overview page, select a buddy, enter a message (leave it blank to use the default body), click "Wake up buddy," and confirm.

- Every wake-up notification includes an "Unsubscribe" link so your buddy can opt out at any time.
- If a buddy declines or opts out, you cannot re-add them. They must use the link they received to consent again on their own.
- There must be at least 30 seconds between two consecutive wake-up calls.
- For each person on your list you can: resend the confirmation, temporarily mute, restore, or remove them.
- Wake-Up Log lists every wake-up call and confirmation push you have sent, whether each one was delivered, and the reason if it was not.
