History[edit]

Lark was developed by Lark Technologies Pte. Ltd., a subsidiary of ByteDance, based in Singapore,[2] and was originally developed as an internal tool.[6]


In November 2018, Lark became ByteDance's internal communication and collaboration platform.[7]


In April 2019, Lark became available in overseas markets.[7]


In March 2020, ByteDance prepared to release a "Google-like suite of office collaboration tools" (referencing Google Workspace) focusing on cloud-based file management and document and spreadsheet editing.[2]


In April 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Lark made its service available for free across Southeast Asia.[5]
