Canopy is a comprehensive digital safety app designed to help parents take control of their children's online experiences. It offers a free 7-day trial for new users, with flexible monthly or annual subscription plans. The app’s primary goal is to create a safer, more positive online environment by leveraging advanced AI technology to filter inappropriate content and prevent risky behaviors.
One of the key features of Canopy is its Real-Time Smart Filter and Porn Blocker, which uses artificial intelligence to instantly detect and remove pornographic content, including partial nudity, from websites and apps. Importantly, this filtering system is selective, ensuring safe content remains accessible. Additionally, the app provides sexting alerts by monitoring the device's camera, alerting parents immediately if inappropriate or risky photos are detected to prevent harmful behaviors.
Canopy also offers tools for managing screen time and controlling online activity. Parents can set specific time limits or scheduled downtime to regulate internet usage on their child's device. They can also create customized lists of websites to block or allow, curate app collections by blocking distracting or inappropriate apps, and receive notifications when Canopy blocks or alerts about risky activity. Location tracking features provide real-time GPS information, keeping parents informed about their child's whereabouts at all times.
To use Canopy, parents must install the Canopy app on their device and follow the setup process to install Canopy Shield on their child's Android device or Chromebook. The app emphasizes transparency, responsible usage, and fostering open conversations about online safety. Support is readily available through customer service, with help available daily. Overall, Canopy aims to empower families to navigate the digital world confidently and responsibly, promoting trust and safe online habits.
