Questions I'd have if I were you.


Still have a question? Let's talk.

Is it cheating to use dog branding for business strategy?
It's a moral dilemma for sure.

How will my team benefit from using this?
  • You can store onboarding resources in Barks, so when you have a new team member they have those resources day one.
  • Encouages collaboration. When a team member finds content they think will be useful to your team, they can immediately share it with everyone.
  • Senior members of your team can share resources that helped them level up, so newer team members can level up faster.
  • Our Slack integration enables push notifications for newly added resources.

    • Why does this app exist?
    I felt like browser bookmarking left some things to be desired. It wasn't easy to sort, search, or collaborate so I've attempted to build the bookmarking tool I wanted.

    What personal data from Chrome api's does Barks use?
    Your email. Barks will use the email of your currently logged in Chrome account to associate with your Barks account and get your correct bookmarks.

    Why do I need to 'Turn on Sync'?
    This is how Barks gets access the email associated with your browser account using API's like Google's Identity api.

    What does 'New Tab Override' mean?
    When you open a new tab in a browser window the browser application will have a default page they display. If you enable this option in Barks your the Barks bookmarks page will be displayed in its place.

    Why isn't 'New Tab Override' displaying?
    Make sure you have 'Enable New Tab' override enabled for your account. Then open the extension through the browser toolbar, this will update your account settings and new tab override should then be enabled.

    Where are my Barks bookmarks stored?
    Barks stores your bookmarks in Google Cloud Platform on a Postgresql database.

    What if something happens to the Barks Postgresql database?
    We keep database backups. We store a backup of the database for each of the last seven days. Should anything unforseen happen we will be able to recover.

    Why not store bookmarks in the browser?
    Chrome has a limit on the amount of data a third party extension/app can store, and it's not very large. Also we wouldn't be able to make team accounts work.

    How do I update user settings?
    You must be an admin of the organization, or team. If you are using an individual account you are automatically an admin. You can use the Sign In link on our website to login and update settings.
    If you are not a team admin but think you should be, reach out to whomever created your teams account and ask them to update your privileges.

    How do I remove a user from my team?
    As an admin logging using the Sign In link and from there you have the option to set a user as inactive.

    Why am I seeing the message User not found?
    Could be a few reasons, try the following remediations:
    1. Add yourself as a user to the barks application.
    2. Turn Sync on in Chrome or other browser.
    3. Uninstall and reinstall the extension.

    How do I access the extension after install?
    Pin it to your chrome extension toolbar and open it using the Barks icon from the toolbar.
