Lark Suite is an enterprise collaboration platform developed by ByteDance and first released to the public in 2019.[2] [3] [4] [5]
Lark and its China-only equivalent Feishu ("flying message") operate independently of one another and store user data separately (Lark in Singapore, Feishu in Beijing).[2]
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.
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.
In April 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Lark made its service available for free across Southeast Asia.[5]
