Share what matters.
Canopy is the private family app that keeps both parents informed — schedules, school updates, notices, and everything important about your children, all in one secure place.
10 days free. Then £12.99/month for the whole family. Cancel anytime.
All the tools to stay organised, informed, and connected — in one private place.
Forward newsletters and letters to your family’s Canopy address. AI extracts events, term dates, and appointments automatically — no manual entry.
A colour-coded calendar everyone shares. Sync with Apple Calendar and Google Calendar. Schedule changes, term dates, clubs, and family events all in one view.
Post updates, photos, and reminders. Tagged by topic — school, health, clubs. Every change triggers a push notification to all parties, so nothing gets missed and everyone stays informed without needing to check in.
Medical details, school contacts, GP, dentist, accounts, and documents — stored per child. Tap to call or email contacts directly from the app.
Export a tamper-proof, timestamped record of all activity — formatted for legal proceedings. Upload any parenting arrangements document — a court order, parenting plan, or mediation agreement — and Canopy flags schedule changes or requests that may conflict with it.
Passports, medical records, school reports — stored encrypted and accessible to all family members. Organised by child, always at hand.
Set your rotation pattern — alternating weeks, 2-2-5-5, 2-2-3, or fully custom — and the calendar updates automatically. Request schedule changes or holidays, and if the other parent needs cover during their time, First Right of Refusal gives you first offer before anyone else.
Log shared costs and split them fairly. Set your own percentage split — 50/50, or weighted differently — and keep a clear, shared record of what’s been spent and who owes what. No more back-and-forth over receipts.

Your family, your rules
Every family is different. Canopy lets you turn features on or off so the app fits your situation — not the other way around.
Just getting started?
Use the shared calendar and notice board. Nothing else needs to be switched on. Keep it as simple as a shared noticeboard — every update automatically notifies all parties.
Need more structure?
Add a parenting schedule, enable shared expenses, and use the info bank to keep both parents aligned. Control exactly what read-only members like grandparents and carers can see.
Complex arrangements?
Enable everything — court order compliance, document vault, direct messaging, child accounts, and FamilyFeed email parsing. Canopy grows with you.

Why Canopy exists
I built Canopy because I needed it. As a parent managing life across two homes, I found myself constantly juggling — school emails landing in one inbox, schedule changes needing chasing, important information about my children scattered across text messages and notes.
More than the logistics, it was the mental load. The things you carry because there’s nowhere obvious to put them. The conversations you have to initiate because there’s no shared space to just see what’s going on.
Canopy started as a way to reduce that — for me, and for my children. A shared space where both parents stay informed without needing to be in constant contact. Where communication happens when it matters, not as an obligation.
Every feature in Canopy can be turned on or off to suit how your family works. Because no two families are the same — and the app should fit around you, not the other way around.

Your data, your family
Canopy is built for families — not advertisers. We store only what you need, with your permission, and you can take it all back at any time.
All data travels over HTTPS. Documents in your vault are encrypted at rest with AES-256. Passwords are hashed and never stored. Child account passwords use an additional encryption layer.
We don’t serve ads, track you across the web, or sell data to anyone. There are no analytics trackers on this site. Canopy is funded entirely by subscriptions — your data is not the product.
Medical information about your children is special category data under UK law. Canopy asks for your explicit consent before storing any of it — and before AI processes any email content. Both can be withdrawn at any time in the app.
When you forward a school email or photograph a flyer, the content is sent to Anthropic’s Claude AI solely to extract events. Anthropic does not retain API data for training. You can turn this feature off at any time — nothing is processed without your consent.
Protect your account with email-based two-factor authentication. Once enabled, every new login requires both your password and a one-time code — so your family’s data stays safe even if your password is ever compromised.
We process your data lawfully under the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018. Our Privacy Policy sets out every lawful basis, every processor we use, and exactly what we store — in plain English.
Delete your account directly from the app — no emails, no waiting, no customer service hoops. Your data is permanently and immediately removed from our systems. No 30-day grace periods, no dark patterns.
Under UK GDPR you have the right to a copy of everything we hold about you. Hit “Download my data” in Settings and you get a complete, human-readable export of your entire family record — no request forms, no waiting.
Under UK GDPR you have rights over your data. In Canopy, most of them are a single tap.
One price covers the whole family — no per-person charges, no hidden fees.
